Well, I’m going to be trying to implement some regular blog postings into my week. One of the favorite things I used to do here was Things I Love Thursday. I’m bringing it back

So much crazy is going on. But God is in control. Of that I can be sure…that’s pretty much the ONLY thing I’m sure about…

I’m trying to cram all the “meeting folks” I can into the next week. I have lunch or dinner or coffee or play dates every day this week. Tonight I went back to my hometown, Bowie, MD, for dinner with some girls from Cornerstone A/G (the church my dad planted in Bowie in [...]

This weekend was teh awesome. My baby brother got married I can’t really even describe how much fun it is to get together with my brothers and sister in laws and aunties and uncles. I really have no words. It was just great. Thank you to my wonderful [...]
