Since this has been a topic rolling around in my mind for a while with not really a good way to approach it, this feels like the perfect opportunity to address “Revival.” I’m not here to speak on what is going on in a specific place, or any of the other places people are claiming…

Fan the Flame
Feeling dry? Sometimes you have to stir yourself up. Just like David had to tell his soul to “Bless YHVH,” (Ps 103:1-2) there are times when we need to fan the flame. Did you know the word for “stir up” or “fan” is anazōpyreō and is only used once. (I love those types of words).…
The Secret Muses of a Disabled Vet’s Wife:
“How are YOU?” It’s been 11 years and I honestly don’t know if in these last 11 years I have answered the question completely honestly. “How are YOU?” Being married for 19 years and having 3 kids, it’s easy to answer that question as an all-encompassing family question. “Hub’s is fine, he tweaked his…
As you might have guessed…
We are no longer traveling. Our time on the road seems like a whirlwind. It was a good almost year and a half out of our planned 2-5 years on the road. But God seemed to have other plans. The spring of 2019 we started the trek back north as the weather got warmer. We…
Where It All Began
After snaking our way out of the Arkansas mountains (hills? I dunno), we headed to Kentucky. When J and I were first married, we were both in the Army and our first duty station together was Ft. Knox, KY. We have fond memories of there. We didn’t actually, then. But after we moved to the…
New Familia and Sightseeing in Mountain View, AR
Arriving in Mountain View, Arkansas was an adventure. The road from Hot Springs was increasingly windy and steep. I guess it makes sense being that we were going down into a valley, but seriously. We have decided that in the little towns headed down into the valley were designed by the town drunk. Mountain View…
Hot Springs, Arkansas
After a dreary, wet winter, we are finally starting to see some semblance of spring. We fell back an hour, (why are they still torturing us with this?!?) our daytime is a little longer, and people look to be coming out of their holes for spring break. We spent about a week at Crater of…
RV Kitchen Must-haves
Living in an RV, you learn pretty quickly what items you need and don’t. In our sticks & bricks, our kitchen was fairly large. Plenty of room for kitchen gadgets and utensils for specific things. In an RV, you don’t have that luxury. I started by donating, selling or throwing anything I didn’t use. Then…
Valentine’s
I just wanted to do a quick post about our Valentine tradition. For a few years now, we have done a fun finger food platter and sweet goodies. Yesterday we were in Waco all day and I didn’t get the chance until the day of to run to the little grocery store here and get…
Magnolia Market in Waco
Day Trip! Visiting Chip and Joanna Gaines Magnolia Market has been on my must go list for a while. We finally made it yesterday! The kid’s were like, “what exactly are we doing there?” And you kind of have to fudge it a little rather than say you’re going to a large home goods store.…
