A husband with Parkinson's, leading his family in the path of a suffering servant like the Lord. Together making a family of kids....being raised to pass on, for future generations,the love of Jesus.

Jason was so moved that by all the events of this Christmas that he felt (and i do mean physically) burdened to write a thank you to everyone giving the Glory to the Lord! So he, as difficult as it was for him, got on his knees and he prayed! Then wrote what was on his heart. He read it to our life groups class....And saw how so many were moved that he was asked to read it before the church. i

i have always spent Christmas just trying to capture the romance of the season, the smells, the sights, the sounds. i guess i have a theatrical, or cinematic enjoyment of the effects of Christmas. This year....i did not really get the opportunity to do that. Surprisingly it was one of the most blessed Christmases i have ever spent.This year, Jason was home. In years past gas needs to be delivered

Often when you are going through something very difficult it is an opportunity for others around you to put themselves in your shoes and think "If this happened to me what would I do? How would I handle this? What are the most important things in life, and are my priorities straight? It gives us an opportunity to get back to the things in life that really mean something, like our families, or

Today i am doing some Mega Cooking. Making in bulk to have over the next few weeks. That will get us through to Thanksgiving. We have family coming and it is tough to make 3 meals a day when you are trying to visit. If it is all ready and just a thaw away then that leaves more time to visit and Thanksgiving prep will be much easier! i am making Breakfast to have in the freezer. Here is one of my

i had an interesting discussion today with someone about Parkinson's and realize there are so many questions people have about this disease and how it affects our lives. Most people are familiar with the disease only through Michael J. Fox, a well known celebrity who was diagnosed. This type of exposure to the disease has a limited understanding of how the disease affects a person other than the

We were driving down the road on our way to write a check for our rent that we did not have the funds to cover. i kept hearing a verse from the popular 120th Psalm, "The Lord is my Shepherd, I shall not want." We often forget that part of the Psalm. i guess i had to remind myself to believe it! Sadly i had been saying in my head all day..."No one really cares what happens to us." That is what it

So that makes 6 preordained lives entrusted into our care!(quiver is getting a little less roomy:)In more ways than one, but especially on the career front, our paths for life the ones we thought were set in stone for us....have been chiseled away and

It had been raining and it just kept coming this last week. I don't mind it though. Its just like life. You get into a pattern and then the rain comes and for some reason you are just waiting for it to pass. Well here the rain had come and was going to stay. Its good we need the rain. However their is a down side to that. Being cooped up in the house with 5 kids, no time to go out an play. Well,

The Death Crawl - Facing The GiantsShane Myspace VideoI love this video. I think it represents how the Lord is with us. He does not show us what is ahead because he doesn't want us to quit when we have more left. I think of all the things I have faced in my life and if I would have known what was ahead I would have given up. Watch it for sure and think of the struggle you are facing and give your

Caity had this small quote hanging up in her room on a post-it note. I think it is so profound. If you can't read it, it says "OH THE THINGS LOVE CAN DOO!!" I love it. She is just so sweet. I nominate this for the quote of the year.

Blog. Update with a new post, or come up with your own Top Ten list. Go on a random rant, or say something you have been wanting to say,Hug someone you love. It's free and binds hearts together. We forget to do this to often.Read snuggle up with a book. Pick one you have on hand but have not read in a long time. If the library is close by you can walk to check out books... if not borrow one from

I often hear people say that your relationship with your father can account for your views of God. Well, this got me to thinking again. What are some of the traits of my father that are paralleled to my view of God.Dad always imparted justice, I see God as just.Dad always cultured and exposed us to things that would make us well rounded people, I see God as wanting us to experience things so we

As I have mentioned, we have been reading the Captain Underpants series. Well, Christian decided to dress up as Mr. Underpants. He was a superhero and insisted on us addressing him in that manner. So here are some pictures of our amazing dinner guest.Yes, his shirt is actually a pair of pants.

ARE BOYS MADE OF DIRT? OH, I FORGOT WE ALL ARE.After all our cleaning was done, it was time to sweep. The boys room was mostly just dirt. I thought boys must produce dirt. Then I realized it is the base for the creation of all man. Adam was made from dirt. (Isn't that ironic) The name actually means "red earth". So the next time I think my boys are attracting dirt, I must remember they were made

Have you ever felt that you were called to something bigger and out of the realm of your own thinking. I have seen so much lately that has led me to see that the course of my life is not under the direction of my own will. I have experienced things I never wanted to experience and things I have always wanted too experience. There is some greater picture that is happening here and I have no idea

Have you ever picked up a saltine cracker took a bite of it, and then thought to yourself...I forgot how good plain old saltine crackers tasted! This has happened to me several times. Which has inspired me to write. When you see a saltine cracker you think, plain, bland, maybe even cardboard. Of course something so simple like some flour, shortening, yeast, baking soda, and of course, salt does
