This guy just finished his [last] first week of school (for this degree anyways). He’s worked so hard. He’s done in a little less than 3 years what it takes a lot of very diligent and hard working people twice that much time or more to do. Most semesters he’s been in Hebrew and Greek … Continue reading Last Firsts

Blessed by Their Daddy
A daddy who gets home from work at 1 am and sets an alarm for the morning so that he can take his girls to the park before school …. These girls don’t know the extent to which they’ve been blessed.
“I’m Getting Married, Mom”
It’s been a longer day and we had a happy late night out with friends. The kids were getting to bed later than normal, and I always feel a bit rushed to get through bedtime routines on nights like that. I’ve observed the unfair tendency to be an impatient mom when I’m feeling rushed. I … Continue reading “I’m Getting Married, Mom”
I Love Their Daddy the Most
Before we were married Jordan and I made the commitment to always try to get away with each other at least once a year. We’ve made it happen every year so far even though it has been hard to sort logistics out every time. Last year we did get away all though as soon as … Continue reading I Love Their Daddy the Most
Tasting God’s Goodness in Rahab Mercy
Today we are so especially thankful that God decided to entrust her to us. A year ago today blood tests revealed a dangerous drop in progesterone and we were awaiting an ultrasound to see if she was still there with us. Had we not heard her heart beating so perfectly that day, God would … Continue reading Tasting God’s Goodness in Rahab Mercy

And those are good things to think about every now and then. Year 22 is starting out happy. Sheer, … Continue reading Reflecting on This Year
Proud Wife … A Husband Brag
Right now he thought he was going to be presenting his own research, yet again, in a highly honored symposium at the University of Alabama. He has now been invited to present his research at an academic symposium twice, both for the two most liberal and secular departments of the school. Both papers were based on Scripture and … Continue reading Proud Wife … A Husband Brag
Redeeming Moments with Hadassah
This Sunday morning looked like most of mine do … sitting in a church pew covered in tiny peppermint pieces and chocolate chip cookie crumbs, princess and animal stickers all over my body, crayons rolling away from me and towards the pulpit, sticky fruit roll up pieces stuck to my Bible, and (this is a new … Continue reading Redeeming Moments with Hadassah
Why "Rahab"?
Oh, baby names! We love them. One of my favorite things to do is to read through baby name books. My siblings and I have special memories of every birthday at our house: We would all sit down on the benches around our long table and listen to mom and dad tell the story about … Continue reading Why "Rahab"?
An Uncomfortable Blogger
This new year brought a completely new life. So I thought that now would be a good time to do what I’ve always said I would do “someday.” So here’s our blog. From massive roots in our pipes (…and I thought these trees in our yard were just so beautiful) to lonely in the middle of the … Continue reading An Uncomfortable Blogger
