For many families, summer break has already begun, and if not, it's just right around the corner. So often, I look forward to summer break for the free time it represents, and then not too many weeks in, I'm looking for boredom busters for our 8 high-energy boys.

But the long, laborious days remind me that I can do none of this in my own strength. Things are messy here, and … [Read more...]
So much to do, so many piles to conquer, and I'm left, as usual, trying to keep in perspective what matters most. It's been a hard day, as many Tuesdays are around our house. I actually heard myself say today, "If that Bible movie is lost, I'm going to be really mad." Really? I no sooner had the words out of my mouth before I was convicted. I'm certain of a few truths in this life, … [Read more...]
