there is a season

Seems I’ve been MIA the last few weeks.  We have had a steady stream of visitors this summer…and more to come in the weeks ahead.  We’ve also made a trip to Ontario this month and one the previous month.  We don’t usually travel in the summer, as that’s our busy time, but we actually made…… Continue reading there is a season

to be like mom

This Mother’s Day weekend has me pining a little for ‘my other home.’  I so wish I could be there to spend the day with my sweet mom.  Not only that, but my talented northern boy is having his second cd release concert and my equally talented techie boy will be doing an opening set…… Continue reading to be like mom

We…… Continue reading faithful and full of faith

I prayed for direction…… Continue reading me…leading a ladies’ bible study?

a page from our story & a home tour

We finally have the last of our things here with us.  It’s been quite a chore even now to keep eliminating the extras, as this home is quite a bit smaller than our last home, or even the camp house where we lived for a year after that.  We gave a large portion of our…… Continue reading a page from our story & a home tour

Yay!  We have a rental house!We, along with many lovely supporters, have been praying earnestly for a home in our church plant town, but as I mentioned before, they are hard to come by.This has definitely been a test of patience.  Though we have always had a roof over our heads (for which I am…… Continue reading on the move
