I called my sweet friend this morning and the first thing she told me was that she was taking care of her sweet little one who, in Holly’s words, “was just dancing and twirling one minute and she feel flat on her face the next!”

It still freaks me out to watch this movie with my daughter and hear my name over and over and over and over and over and over and over again!

Just had a random memory pass through my head! Gotta share it!! When I shared HERE the songs I used to play on the piano, I forgot one important song!!
One of the very first Christian songs I ever taught myself to play on the piano was…
Rise Again by Dallas Holm!
Now this makes me [...]

What would YOUR cardboard say?

After my previously heavy post, I figured I would lighten it up a bit. While I was dressing to head to my brother’s for a swim and then on to a local university for fireworks, my husband turned on ESPN for the ultimate celebration of our American freedom.
Only in America folks do we celebrate [...]

My friend Jenny has had one crazy week! Last Wednesday she was at work as a Cardiac Care RN — specifically an Open Heart Surgical RN — and she began to have chest pains. Two leading doctors evaluated her and determined that she needed to go immediately to another specialized hospital as it [...]
