The idea of going off the grid excites me to no end (at least, for a day ~smile~)! But, that is, until I think about having to give up my computer and TV. When I consider a day without electronics, I imagine my husband being free! No iPhone, no iPad, no computer games, no Facebook, and no e-mails. Ahhh, what an exhilarating thought for me (and terrifying thought for him ~smile~). Even though such a day would require me to sacrifice a few conveniences I’ve grown to appreciate, I still think twenty-four hours without so much as a quick Facebook check would be incredible! ~smile~ According … [Read more...]
Creating New Friendships Together
Eric and I have different methods to making friends. He is will take the initiative and get to know new people while I hang back and wait for life to bring me together with others. He will approach new couples at church and talk to them while I wait for a Bible Study or ministry opportunity to naturally pair me with new people. He’s proactive and I’m reactive. ~smile~ I’m aware that it takes all kinds of people to make the world go round. It would be rough if we were all leaders; we would all stand around and argue about who gets to be in charge and whose plan is better. If we were all … [Read more...]

There is a special comfort we feel when soft, warm, cozy materials touch our skin. Ramsey From the time we got married, Eric and I both dreamed of getting a … [Read more...]

Step Outside of Your Comfort Zones and Change the World Together
How do you feel when you are in the grocery store running late for an appointment and a person with three items walks up behind you in line? For me, there is an internal struggle. On one hand, I think, “I was here first and I’m already pressed for time!” On the other hand, I think, “I have around fifty items and she has three.” At this point, I have a choice. I can continue in line and let her wait as I have every right to do or I can spread a little kindness and let her jump in front of me. By the time I’m done loading my groceries onto the conveyor belt, she’ll likely be done and gone … [Read more...]
