“Luke, eat your noodles, buddy, so we can get ready to leave for the game.” It was lunchtime on Saturday and we were running late.

Decision-Making {part one}
I love to hear little kids pray. The simplicity of their words always causes me to evaluate my own prayer life. Luke especially. He is out to impress no one with wordiness or eloquence. His prayers are simple and 100% Luke… “Lord, thank you for this day. Help us not be mean to each other and … Continue reading
“I always want to be six.”
With our final family game played, we raked all of the Spot It cards back into a small pile on the floor.

This morning, my eyes opened wide at 3am to an unfamiliar tapping. Our window air unit, arguably on its last leg, was working hard to spit out an UNO card or a possibly granola wrapper. No telling what was in there with 3 little boys in the house. But nevertheless, our tapping air unit broke … Continue reading
When Life Burns Your Bread
