I was reading this passage from 2 Peter today and couldn't think of anything better to say than to let these words speak for themselves from 2 Peter 3:1-18 “Dear friends, this is now my second letter to you. I have written both of them as reminders to stimulate you to wholesome thinking. I… Continue reading Be Blameless

I hate to admit how much it bothers me when I see and hear people speak about things they either, knowingly misrepresent or ignorantly misrepresent as the truth. I don’t know why I am always surprised but I am. It is to be expected from the world so it shouldn’t catch me off guard. I… Continue reading Instead Pray

I guess the vacation was a hit with the whole family because it has been 6 days since we returned home and we are all still moping around wishing we were back at the happiest place on earth. I asked myself today, “What are the elements that create an unforgettable vacation?” I think the top… Continue reading Disney Duck

A year of planning, even more years of saving, imagining, anticipating, packing, traveling, and we are, finally, on day 1 of our family Disney vacation. It’s hard to believe we are finally here. We hug and catch up on the latest news of our lives. We download the Disney experience app to our phones; book… Continue reading Goodbye Vacation

Oh my word!  I get sick for 3 days, miss the news, and the world falls apart. How about if everyone reels back the outrage and stops pouring the righteous indignation while also tuning into the whole truth, maybe even mixed with a little perspective. This might be a good prescription for maintaining a balanced… Continue reading An Elephant

Faster than a speeding bullet! More powerful than a locomotive! Able to leap tall buildings in a single bound. Look, up in the sky … It’s a bird. It’s a plane. No, it’s superman. This is the stuff kids dream of, the stuff I dreamed of … the guy wearing the mask and the red… Continue reading My Hero

I have been very distracted by things I can’t control lately,  things that aren’t primary for me as an ambassador for Jesus Christ. Today I am trying to refocus onto the most important thing in my life- Jesus and my call to love Him and serve Him. This passage in 2 Corinthians has always been… Continue reading Ambassadors for Christ

This verse found in John 8:32 is one of the verses I live by. I am always amazed to see people lie and then still deny it even when they get caught. My dad used to call it, “a bald faced lie.” I would imagine most everyone has been the victim of someone spreading lies… Continue reading The Truth Will Set You Free

The Christmas stuff is all down, or at least mostly down. I’ve felt so squished by all the plunder that I couldn’t wait to get it out of the house. Now I am standing here looking at an awful lot of blank space. It didn’t seem blank before Christmas … how odd! Now, as I… Continue reading Blank Space

Rachellynphotography This is a reblog...hope you don't mind.  I still have our kids and grandkids and I am too busy to actually think. I’ve always thought the week between Christmas and New Years day was equally wonderful and weird. A busy month of endless celebration followed by a dead stop!  When the family lives spread… Continue reading The Week Between
