A soul that walks on water leaves no footprints, but will make waves."
I can’t believe it’s Friday already. My has the week flown by.
Earlier this week Owen discovered the word precarious and has used it incorrectly a few times since. It’s so fun when they do that, but I promise I still correct him. I don’t want him…
I couldn’t sleep the night before last, so I cobbled. I had started these Mini Mary Jane’s for Tisra’s Adoption Fund and as it seemed impossible to rest I worked on finishing them instead. I got most of it done then and finished off the details yesterd…
…I was on TV! If you’ve watched Monster’s Inc. you will remember Mike Wazowski’s exclamation after seeing himself in a commercial. Though his face was covered by logos and brands his excitement was unaffected. I felt a little like that this morning…

I sang my quiet song of praise and left my tears unshe…
I met a guy named Joe when I was on the road, a speaker who really had an interesting take on things. He was once a rocker who played for bands of significance in the 60’s. He hit bottom and God rescued him and brought his entire family into ministry.…
