We got to visit camp this weekend. I heart camp! It’s beautiful. It’s slower paced. It’s peaceful. It’s one of the best places on earth! We were talking to Hayden about how the summer has gone. How was the programming, I asked? He told us they’d had a continuing skit about suicide. He gave us the gist of it…life gets…

Cling!
I was sitting in the nursery today at work when a friend came in and said, “D’Rae, I did not know you had a blog!” I laughed and told her I was just one of several bloggers who wrote for my church’s blog. I told her I hadn’t been inspired to write for a while, but I was mulling over…
Take the Exit!
We got to spend a few days at the beach over Spring break! I heart the beach! The morning we left, I said a sad goodbye to Jake and Alijah, and a sadder goodbye to the beach (I’m just joking). I told Tom to drive because I wanted to nap. I decided I’d nap after the toll road, because that…

I got to go visit Jake at summer camp where he’s working for the summer. Camp Yorktown Bay is a little piece of heaven on earth! I’ve missed my red-headed man-child!

Trusting God with Empty Pockets
“Everybody trusts God on a good day with $20 in their pocket.” Interesting quote!!

In this modern day story of Joseph, this little slip of paper was left by…
Ben Hur’s 2017 Challenge!
It’s been great having all the boys home over Christmas break. We’ve spent some quality family time together and we’ve watched a few movies. One movie we watched was Ben-Hur. Apparently, Ben-Hur is a film from 1959 starring Charlton Heston. It was remade in 2016 and we rented it from the Redbox. Ben-Hur is a fictional story about a man…
My Grandparents’ Transforming Love
When my brothers and I get together and recollect our childhood, we recognize our memories are extremely idyllic! We have great memories and feels of our growing up years. One of those idyllic memories is of my grandparents’ house. Oh, it wasn’t a beach house or lake house, not a cabin in the mountains… it was a small, plain house…
