Trust in the Lord


Katie took her "doctoring business" very seriously. She prayed every night, too. I know that God heard her prayers.

Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths. ~ Proverbs 3:5-6

Heaven Waits



Ever felt an angel's breath in the gentle breeze? A teardrop in the falling rain? Hear a whisper amongst the rustle of leaves? Or been kissed by a lone snowflake? Nature is an angel's favorite hiding place. ~Carrie Latet

Considering Joy


Katie's artwork... riding in the car with mom...

No matter where we were, Katie always felt safe with me. In my arms, she found comfort. As children of God, we will find that same comfort in Him when faced with fear or trouble.

Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds.
~ James 1:2

I Scream For Ice Cream



One of our best summer memories is going to the beach. It was a joyous and awesome trip, sponsored by an organization called Jason's House. Above is one of my favorite pictures of Katie, striking a pose. Loving that ice cream cone!

Life is uncertain. Eat dessert first. ~Ernestine Ulmer

Let Freedom Ring



Without Christ, there is no freedom. Today we should all remember that simple truth ...

Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom.
~ 2 Corinthians 3:17
