One of the things that I love about our church is our commitment to missions… local, regional and foreign. We do a host of things throughout the year that are missions related but today a team of 26 people from Cross Point are on their way to Santiago in the Dominican Republic to continue construction […]
I love making new friends and there have been a few new commenters here on my blog that I wanted to introduce you all to: I just went over to Kelli‘s blog at KelliInRealLife for the first time today and she is already challenging and inspiring me. Likewise Heidi at Find Me..Find Life..Real Life said […]
Merlyn and I were having a conversation the other night that got me thinking… Me: What special things do you wish that I did for you? (Please note, this was a “G” rated conversation.) I was thinking he would say cook dinner, watch TV with him, go camping with him, etc. Oh no, he drops […]
For today’s Friday Fun I thought I would share with you a few of ‘my favorite things‘: the accomplished feeling after completing a nice long run (7 miles today) clean sheets – oh how I love cozying up in my bed with freshly laundered sheets! I would have fresh clean sheets every day of the […]
It’s the usual Friday Fun today: 6 miles with Ash this morning laundry and house cleaning (I’m not making good progress, though) blog reading lunch with my friend Kat who I haven’t seen in FOREVER! Jes and her new pup Sammy Mac are coming over this afternoon – A play date for Sammy and Mick […]
Yesterday I read about The 40 Day Fast over at Brody’s blog and it got me thinking… What cause or need makes my heart leap, burn, hurt, bleed? What need keeps me awake at night? What problem do I feel compelled to solve? If I were to pour my heart and soul relentlessly into something, […]
I read this stat today on Granger’s Wired News: “Did you know 75% of American heads of household play video games and the average game buyer is 37 years old?” Here’s me playing Guitar Hero for the first time on our staff trip. Notice the focus and concentration! 🙂 It’s a good thing we don’t […]
Taking on The Big Apple… Rachel and I have been non-stop for the last three days. It’s amazing what two A-type personalities can accomplish when we have a big goal ahead of us… and our goal was to have fun in NYC and make the most of our mini vacation. That’s exactly what we’ve done: […]
I’m one of those people who has trouble disconnecting from work when it comes time for vacation. This is especially troublesome on short trips like my current one to NYC. I’m only here for 4 days and it usually takes me at least 5 to quit worrying about work and checking my phone every 5 […]
I can’t help but get a bit giddy about going to New York City. It’s the hub of culture… it’s vibrant, it’s busy, it’s extreme, it’s exciting! It truly is the city that never sleeps. Today I’m headed to NYC with my friend Rachel for my first totally “fun” trip. I’ve been to New York […]
