This past month The Wigs had a ton of power stored in our house! Yep. Thanks to a few FCA coaching families who run a firework stand each summer, our neighborhood gang enjoys a spectacular display after dark every 4th of July! My hubby loves the names on the boxes of these colorful explosives. Fireworks [...]
Is everything in our new normal really new? Since the pandemic, we are told that life is never going to be the same and admonished to accept a "new normal" that will require many daily adjustments.

One thing I love to do with my daughter, no matter the time of year, is to go outside. Riding bikes, hiking, exploring parts of our wooded neighborhood or just getting our hands dirty in our own yard. Recently, I’ve started to give my daughter, Navy, money for the time she spends pulling weeds. Although [...]
This is finals week for Kentucky schools. However, more than any other year, the 2020 tests are far from "standardized." Nope. This year the exams are being completed at kitchen counters in pajamas OR on family room floors with laptops.

Guest blogger, Judith Grazette, has a gift of writing. More importantly, she has THE GIFT of Jesus treasured in her own heart! So, get cozy, read these words, and let God encourage your heart during this season of good gifts. As a child, I remember Christmas was always full of excitement. Growing up [...]

Our creative God knew from the beginning that we are better together. We need each other in order to make disciples who make disciples. Through our Portraits Bible Studies, [...]
