For the 2nd year in a row, Youth for Christ is bringing The Tabernacle Experience to Lincoln. Our whole family went last year, and we were all moved by the encounter. Getting to see a life size replica of what you can only imagine when you read the book of Exodus is life changing. Just walking through […]

Today our kids are eagerly awaiting their first homeschool track meet. Actually that might not be the case since they do not know what to expect. I am excited about them getting to have this experience. Reflecting back on my own track days, I might have liked hanging out with my friends more than the […]

Sometimes a song just gets stuck in your head. This song is mine from today. I woke up with the song resonating in my heart. In trying to discover the name of the tune, I found a great Christmas album. Josh Wilson’s album “Noel” was just added to our I-Tunes. What can I say? Christmas […]

Today is a marvelous day for many children across the country. Why? Because today signifies the start of Christmas break for many places. This afternoon there will be rejoicing everywhere. I know that my kids have been working hard to have a break – I was pretty determined this time that we were going to […]
