Good morning from 72211. That’s right folks - we are mostly settled in to our new zip code. I have already found the Kohls, Goodwill, Target, Kroger, Whole Foods, good BBQ place (Whole Hog), great Mexican place (Senor Tequila), and a fabulous date place (Brave New). I’ve already made one trip to the airport but [...]

31Days: 8 and 9: New Celebrations
Ok - glad there is grace. I missed the day yesterday for writing: I was sick, driving, unloading, feeding baby, and on a date with my husband. Why was I on a date: We celebrated ONE YEAR of marriage. It was fabulous! We went to a wonderful restaurant on the river in Little Rock (although [...]

I have always lived in the EST. That is the Eastern Standard Time zone. I’ve never had to worry about what time games start or shows begin because they are always on at the same time. Well, today about 2:20pm we passed into Central Time Zone to become residents. That will be a little odd, [...]

A new friend pointed me to this Psalm as a way that she was able to persevere through the first couple of weeks of her child’s life. Once her sweet daughter was born she was immediately taken into surgery and then faced several days in the NICU. Sounds familiar - except the surgery part. I [...]

A friend pointed me to this Paul Tripp quote today on grace and it is much needed in my life right now. Knowing that I am not to blame for my dilemnas post-delivery, I can’t soothe my baby every time he cries, and I am not to blame for everything that is stressful right now [...]

Today starts a new month, the best month of all, and a writing challenge that Nester is hosting. It is a challenge to write every day on a certain topic for an entire month. It is really a great challenge in discipline that I am hoping will spread to other areas of my life. The [...]
