A Royal Pain With A Heavenly Ending.
As the 20th anniversary of Princess Diana's death approaches, you can find many documentaries with theories of conspiracy and murder about her death. I have watched a couple of them and no matter what the "theory flavor" of the day ends up being, the end result is...
A Bright Reminder!
As we were driving home from the airport last night, I had such a heavy heart as our family vacation was coming to an end. With Kiersten preparing to travel as a physical therapist and Morgan heading into her last year of her Master's program and then who knows where...
Stop Looking In The Rear View Mirror.
The past is the past. We all make mistakes and we will continue to make mistakes. That's the human side of us. We all sin. But we don't have to live with those past sins. We need to confess those sins and ask God to forgive us. And don't keep looking backwards!!...

Stay In Your Own Lane!
The runners are set on their starting blocks. Hands strategically placed on the asphalt. Finish line only 100 short yards ahead. There is no need to remind them to stay in their own lane. It's an unwritten rule. No one would think about veering from their own lane...
U R More.
On the interstate yesterday, we passed this car several times and I just had to have my friend take a picture of this license plate. It said "URMORE". It reminded me of Tenth Avenue North song with the same title. A lot of times we define ourselves by the mistakes...
A Wink And A Smile!
This morning I woke up wondering what to write about today. Some nights I go to bed knowing what I will write about the next morning. Sometimes I write a series so the next blog is a given. But I never really worry about what I'm going to write because usually the...
