Over the past several weeks I’ve been asked to participate in serving in three areas. Each one makes some logical sense that I could or should say “yes.” And several years ago my response would have been “Sure – I guess I can do that”, perhaps thinking that since I was asked, I needed to [...]

A day of support
Last April my husband went from a Patrol Sgt. to a detective in CID. This was a great move for us all since he had been working nights and would now work M-F days. Today his first big case (that occurred within 5 days of him being in CID) went to trial. We were both [...]

Joyful in Hope. Or is that Soak?
It’s been so long since I’ve blogged! It was never my intention to go, what? 3 months since I last wrote? It’s important to me to write, so here I am!
My husband and I attended a Discipline seminar yesterday at our church. It was titled “Love & Logic Discipline.” I joked half-heartedly that I was looking to [...]
