I am blessed to have the greatest son-in-law. He is just like a son to us. His full given name is Philip Julian Maucieri Jr.  but we just call him Phil.  Rachel and Phil will have been married 5 years May 2016. He is the brother Lance never had and the second son… Continue reading My Son In Law

“I am a stranger on earth; do not hide your commands from me.” Psalm 119:19 I tried to go back in my mind and count how many times we moved and how many houses I lived in during my lifetime, but I gave up. Let’s just say I moved many times before I married Bill,… Continue reading My Temporary Home

  We began our core class at our church, Severns Valley,  for spring 2016 this past week. It is going to be so helpful as we look at scripture and understand who the church is and why it is so important to Jesus. I always take notes. I thought I’d share some things, for those… Continue reading The Church

Today I'm posting part two of the 'Passengers' story from a few days ago.   I originally had these  together  but it was just too long.  So, if you are interested in more crazy airplane stories, this one's for you!

  One of the things in life that can’t be given to you is respect. This is a quality that is achieved over a lifetime made up of a million tiny decisions. “Whoever walks in integrity walks securely.” (Proverbs 10:9 ) I believe each of us would like to be highly regarded. I’ve always loved… Continue reading Highly Regarded

  Thank you all for the wonderful birthday greetings you sent to Bill this week -- you greatly blessed him and made his birthday even sweeter. He read each “like” and “comment” you sent.
