Jason, Sheri, Danielle, and Andrew would like to wish you all a Merry Christmas and to update you on what we have been up to this last year.  First of all, as you can tell from the picture, our children have not adhered to our policy of not getting older or bigger.  Funny thing is [...]

Well, I have been avoiding writing anymore until I finish this thought on contentment.  That has caused me to not write at all.  Now I will finish up my thoughts on contentment, so that I may write about more things in my life.  Never again, in the near future, will I start a series that [...]

With all the discussion in Goshen lately about the ordinance to extend what is considered as a civil right as covered by the constitution.  When questions like this come up, then it is time for me to search to make sure what I believe is based on the values that I claim as a Christian.  [...]

Contentment is a journey, a state of being, and not just a destination.  What I mean by that is you do not reach a goal of contentment and then you are done.  My brain has been spinning around the topic of contentment, but it is large and would be too much to read in one [...]

Tuesday Twister 20090811 I am going to try the “5 a day to keep the clutter away” challenge.  My wife and I started  in July with our Bedroom, but we are not done, well I know I am not done.  I like the feeling of being freed.  I am thinking we will extend this to [...]

Why God? Where does your hope come from?  I have found mine in Jesus Christ, but I did not always have this hope.  Before I trusted in Jesus and would admit that God is maybe real and I trusted in my own intellegence.  I thought I could be a good person by gaining knowledge and [...]

Sharing 101 Are you like me and buy almost anything you need.  Now I have 30 tools you used once every two to three years and they are tools that I know other people around me have.  Why not network with neighbors, family, and friends and borrow items that you do not use that often?  [...]
