I’m getting really good at multi-tasking and I love to meet new people. I married the boy next door 14 ½ years …

Are You a Roaring Lamb?
I’m borrowing the name from Bob Briner’s book Roaring Lambs. I love the image it creates. A lamb that’s willing to take on the world and be vocal about what it believes. Lions aren’t exactly quiet when the roar you know. In the book he talks about the fact that Christians have created a subculture rather than taking the light …
A homeschooling success
As most of you know, I homeschool my two older children (ten and seven). We do that in no small part because I was homeschooled for the greater part of my education and my husband and I see the value of it.
