Mark Harper is doing more than dreaming a dream. He is living it! As long as I have known him, which goes way back, he has always been a person that thinks out of the box. He has spent years as a Children’s Pastor, writing curriculum, training children’s ministry leaders and equipping families. And […]
Sometimes we struggle to trust God. We want to trust God, but instead of trusting God we often react out of panic or fear. Sorta like a squirrel or a rabbit. Squirrels do it. Rabbits do it. But why do they do it? It was a dark foggy, moonless night in the mountains. The headlight […]
Little babies grow fast. To a nursing mother it can seem like they want to eat all the time. Often, a healthy baby will initially want to eat every two hours, and then every four hours. A baby often doubles its weight in about four months. But some babies have what is called “failure to […]
She was the official princess in the Holland house. Michael, our nephew and his wife Heather have an adorable and gregarious four years old. Her mom explained to her that she was going to have a baby sister. She watched as her, soon to be their, room was repainted and redecorated. She loved “her” new room, […]

But of course, he had to be excited, with his sweet wife chirping loudly on the front seat beside him and two adorable grandchildren […]
Several months ago, Jason let me borrow “Isaac’s Storm” by Erik Larson. Yes, it’s at my house, Jason. I love to read, but I almost never read for fun. I use every spare minute to read for work and ministry. Totally exhausted, I picked it up and decided to start reading it last week. It’s […]
I’m no painter! It should be against the law for me to paint anything, because I make such a mess. And I’m simply not qualified to paint.So don’t call me when you need something painted. That being said, I’m still the painter in the family. I just use plenty of drop cloths, tape off everything […]
In my whole life I have never seen a child that looked or acted more like their dad than my grandson, Brayden. He is 7 years old now and I’m still awestruck at the amazing similarities. But there’s one way he’s like his Nana, that’s me. He shares my love for nature. I hope […]
It looked like a picture of true friendship to me. I got so excited, “Look, baby. You gotta take a picture of this tree.” I was already working on my next blog. It was going to be about how one tree, wrapped its trunk around a palm tree to provide strength and support. That’s what […]
I’ve been studying and posting every day on my Facebook page, maybe you’ve been joining me. I am so excited about what I am seeing in Acts. But I have also been very convicted. There’s a Fancy Word for Almost Everything When you want to talk all fancy… “Angry” becomes apoplectic.“Daily” becomes quotidian.“Unfinished” […]
