The last few nights at home, we’ve been watching some of the gazillion home videos we have taken in the last 14 years. Even the two college sons still at home sat down for the screening for a while. When all the video was taken, we often joked that we would need a lifetime to [...]

Faith-Filled Thoughts
Posted in Encouragement, Faith, Family, tagged Pregnancy on February 20, 2009 | 20 Comments »
In the last few weeks, I have found myself sinking into a morass of discouragement and fear. When you’re in the middle of a high risk pregnancy, you are told and you hear so much of what can and may go wrong for you and the baby that it is difficult to do otherwise. After [...]
