We hear, and overhear, all day. At home especially, living together. Especially the little ones, we don’t call them “little sponges” for nothing.

Geneva asked me today “Mom, will you still have headaches when you go to Heaven?”I told her “No! I won’t!” She responded with a positive “oh!” Since then she’s been randomly looking at me, smiling, and saying encouragingly “Mom, you won’t have any more headaches in Heaven!” Lord, thank You for truth that comes [...]

The news today about the tsunami and earthquake in Japan was so sobering. makes all the random things that are hard in my life mute points.

My sweet Geneva spent countless hours in the weeks prior to Christmas wrapping presents. At first she just wanted to hang out with me as I wrapped gifts to send to people and her “wrapping” consisted of cutting paper and ribbon and taping it all together in various geometric shapes. But then she decided she [...]

We spent the morning strolling through Old Colorado City looking at shops, eating French pastries and taking a surrey ride around the downtown. We feasted on our traditional Christmas meal of [...]
Every year at the RJ&L Christmas party, which is a wonderful affair with beautiful traditional choral Christmas music and fantastic food, Santa makes an appearance bringing toys for all the children.
