We have been attending Tapestry Church for the past month or so. We have enjoyed the services and getting to know Richard. Today and last Sunday there were not any services there.

Great start…

Valerie invited some of her friends over to [...]
It’s finally arrived!
Posted: December 18, 2008 in Christmas, Family, Making memories, Parenting, Random ThoughtsNo it’s not the latest package in the mail… no it’s definitely NOT a baby. But rather the last day of school before Christmas break. For me, that means my kids will be here for almost a week. Which means more to me than anything else that will transpire over the next week. Well, I do [...]

In fact almost never. It’s been a long time since I’ve seen either of my parents. I was hoping to make the rounds this Thanksgiving and Christmas season to see them both. My Dad is in South Georgia and my Mom is [...]
I’m convinced of “one thing”
Posted: November 8, 2008 in Calling, Family, Focus, Movies, Oswald Chambers, Prayer, Psalms, Spiritual GrowthWhat are you convinced of? Does life make sense to you? Do you know what the secret to life is all about? My life has been a journey of discovering that “one thing”. But it seems that the “one thing” always seems to allude my grasp. As soon as I think I have discovered what [...]

You look like you are in deep thought or something is bothering you…” I was OK. I think I was stunned after that first message. Andy Stanley talked about 3 specific things and how [...]
