I write with a heavy heart. Not so much because the holidays are over, but because of all that comes (and inevitably goes) with the holiday season. Primarily, my family. This was the first Christmas I have spent with my family since being married, and it was wonderful. My family loves my husband, and my...

Lewis fans) Date of Birth: July, 2005 Species: Bunny rabbit (Lionhead bunny, to be exact) Hair Color: Tan, brown, and white Eye Color: Dark brown Nickname: Azzi Disposition: Sweet, friendly, hyper, and curious (with an occasional anti-social mood swing) Well, shortly after I returned...
Well, I can officially say that I am among the crazy people. I ventured out of my bed at 5:30 am on Friday, the day after Thanksgiving. I ventured out of my house at 5:50 am and into the mall at 6:00 am. I can now say I have “been there.” Rich says that there...
I feel like an unfaithful friend. I’ve neglected blogging for a few weeks and it feels good to be back again. There’s one simple reason I’ve been delinquent: Rich has monopolized use of our laptop lately since he is deep into his design of the church website. I am patiently waiting for the time (spent...
Well, we have a sad update to our rantings about a potential Israel Trip. At 8:00 this morning, Dr. Michael Easley and a couple of Moody hosts came on the air live in Chicago to announce the winner of the Imagine Israel Grand Prize. It was surreal. Rich and I sat in our living room,...
Well, I have a happy update to the Ominous Jacket Thief post. For those of you who sided with Rich on the matter, you were correct. Since my post, we have recovered 2 of the missing 4 jackets. One, the beige cordouroy jacket, was left at our church picnic and recovered at church last Wenesday...

Okay, this is getting out of hand. Getting absolutely ridiculous. The contest guidelines weren’t laid out well enough in the last post. Here’s how it goes. Anyone and everyone signs up for the Isreal drawing either over the internet or entering manually. Drawings happen on the air. Names get called and that person has 60...
Yes, you read the title correctly. There is a jacket thief in Chattanooga, or quite possibly and worse yet, in my own neighborhood! Let me start at the beginning, and after you hear the story, maybe you will draw the same conclusion that I have. Or maybe you will side with my (well meaning but...
Tag team blogging! Could that be a new term? I’m first to blog this post, then it’s Heather’s turn. Okay… the title isn’t quite accurate.The title should say “We MIGHT be going to Israel!” but that wouldn’t have drawn you in like the current title. Here’s the dealio: Heather (my wonderful, wonderful wife) signed us...
There is just nothing quite like good friends from college. Newer friends (that have come into my life since college graduation) are wonderful, golden blessings from God, they are awesome to get to know, they challenge me, and they are encouraging in all kinds of ways… But what I am talking about is the commeradery...
