The Fair!
Oct 09, 2012Yesterday was a gorgeous day in Dallas. Perfect, crisp weather for a trip north on Hwy 35 and a bit east of downtown Dallas to the State Fair of Texas. We always await the fall months with great anticipation for many reasons but this fun-filled trip is at the top of that list. About mid-way through […]

Oct 07, 2012What a week! We sat under Priscilla’s teaching all last week as she’s been recording her new Bible study, “Gideon: Your Weakness, God’s Strength.” To say that we are full and tired is an understatement! As she was teaching this week, I was thinking about all the different pieces that make up Priscilla taping a […]
Read MoreLive from the Gideon Taping
Oct 04, 2012We happened upon Priscilla in the dressing room last night before she taught Session 5 for the new Gideon Bible study, and she wanted to say hello to you all! Take a look below to hear a few of her thoughts from last night. (If you aren’t able to view the video, click here) […]
Read MoreHalf Way Through!
Oct 02, 2012Well, we are half way through the Gideon Bible Study taping. It’s hard for me to begin to describe my excitement about this new study that Priscilla is doing. It’s been an amazing week so far! You can tell that God is all over this one because it seems like the enemy is working overtime […]
Read MoreGideon . . . and CLOTHES
Sep 30, 2012I never knew that a wardrobe could make me exhausted. Clothes are just clothes – pieces of thread put together into some cute covering for the body. So you’d think they wouldn’t have the capability to actually wear a person out. But, sometimes, mine do! This week, I solicit your prayers as I launch into […]

Sep 27, 20125 ladies. 2 bathrooms. I’m not sure who thought this would be a flawless plan, but I’m feeling a few pointed looks when I bring it up in our housie meetings. Yes, you read that right: 5 girls in one relatively small house. But isn’t ANY living space “relatively small” when there are 5 sources […]

Sep 25, 2012The boys had a fight yesterday. A pretend one. . but even the imaginary ones start looking and sounding like all out war after your kids get to be a certain size. I’m always amazed at how wrestling matches between two youngin’s can be rowdy and, from my perspective, painful. Yet somehow my boys call this […]
Read MoreWhen Are We Going To Get It?
Sep 23, 2012I’ve been playing in a sand volleyball league here in Dallas and had my last game last Wednesday night. We ended up losing in the playoffs which was a huge bummer but I’m actually grateful because it allowed me to sit and talk with one of the girls on my team while we watched the final […]

Sep 20, 2012I love the Hankins’ family…They are this tall, lithe porcelain-skinned family with high cheek-bones and a measured passionate approach to life that is simply stunning to see played out in every day. It’s not uncommon to walk in their dining room at night and find the leader of an African nation or pastor of a […]
Read MoreA Doggone Good Salad!
Sep 18, 2012Well goodness, it’s taken me alot longer than I thought it would to get this recipe to you. About a week ago, I tweeted a photo of a delicious salad I made for my family and many of you responded to it with giddy delight. The sight of this (semi) healthy offering loaded with […]
