Ok, to be fair upfront, yesterday was an awesome day. However, a wonderful day was nearly ruined – and that is what I would like to share.

Ha. This is so not a perfect, ideal world. At least mine isn’t. This week is crazy busy so you will have to do without photos and videos and the like.
However, let’s not let that stop me from sharing about [...]

Arizona!
We’re on our way to Arizona!
Here’s my current favorite song by Matt Maher:

Prophets hear and call us

Breathe on me your very life;
Grace will make the darkness bright
Word of God enthroned,
dwell [...]

We leave tomorrow!
Today’s song: Empty and Beautiful.
My past won’t stop haunting me
In this prison there’s a fight between

Was offered in my place, my place
You fought the fight [...]

Your mercy belongs to those who fear [...]

I go back and forth with this song. I love the song, but in the heart of wedding season, I get a little tired of it. But it’s beautiful and it is from the Song of Solomon.
First, an intro to the song:
And now, the song:

Love is…
We’ve started Theology of the Body in BOB and WOW, and the result has been great in just two weeks.
Last night, one of our teens texted me and said that he was writing down thoughts and quotes that came to him as he reflected on the subject:
“Mankind’s ultimate goal is true love, but most men [...]

Belated Thanks
Because I was in Lubbock, I didn’t get the chance to have fun with Amanda’s Thanksgiving blog. I thoroughly enjoyed it, so I will play along now. Here are her rules:
Thus, I must choose a very specific person/place/thing and list a specific reason for my gratitude. Also, the person/place/thing must be within my range of [...]
