Thursday, April 1, 2010. What to say? Is there any comfort to be found? I could only hug her and tell her I loved her. I knew her heart had been pierced and she would hurt for a long time. She feels that she and her body have failed. not a blessing? Children are not supposed to die. The pain and grief I see her suffering is real, just as real.

Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for men. Sunday, October 21, 2007. First Family Pumpkin Patch Experience. Tuesday, October 9, 2007. The Family got togther to celebrate my 30th Birthday. First Family Pumpkin Patch Experience.

Sunday, August 14, 2011. I have searched for a shelf to hang in my home office. On Saturday we were at the antique mall in Allen and I saw several old drawers that gave me an idea. I found two shelves that look like this one. And a third one that was different. I knew I had several pieces of scrap lumber that I could use to put these together. First I cut a piece of plywood for the back.

I office in a metal building in the Texas countryside. Out one window a llama keeps watch over the herd of a cattle baron. The other window looks at the workshop of the property owner where my office is situated. Ed sketched this up the other day. Click, shoot a frame. Then move the little pile of grass clippings and click, shoot another frame.

Wednesday, December 10, 2014. I absolutely LOVE Christmas time. I love decorating, I love wrapping presents, I love giving to others, I love the smells of Christmas, I love the reason for Christmas and the fact we celebrate the birthday of the best gift we could ever get, Jesus! So we had a mixed decorated Thanksgiving.

Thursday, November 20, 2014. Just wanted to start a new series called Sights of SA. Named after THE TEXAS RANGERS. We love the Rangers and miss baseball almost as much as we do football. Most people in SA have a dog. Not only because they love dogs but because they are necessary for protection. Ranger came from the SPCA. I know, SPCA in Africa, who knew? Tuesday, November 11, 2014. Please pray for the .

Saturday, November 30, 2013. In Texas, that is! After moving every 12 months for the last couple of years, we are back in our Texas home. It really feels like we never left. Thursday, July 04, 2013. LJ turned 4 on the 1st! We are so blessed by this energetic, funny, inquisitive little gal. What is your favorite color? What is your favorite toy? What is your favorite fruit? What is your favorite TV show? What is your favorite thing to eat for lunch? We have a week.

Just a sampling of our life in Texas. it is never dull, never the same and full of love and laughter. Tuesday, December 3, 2013. December 3rd to be exact. Tomorrow will mark the 3 week countdown to Christmas. As I am trying to fill our family calendar with wonderful holiday memories, I am struck with the overwhelming sense of urgency to double and triple check that Ely knows what Christmas is really. So, we will be more intentional each day to bring it all back to Christ.
