Long time no blog…
Hey guys – Sorry I left you guys on my emotional ledge…thank you to many of you who e-mailed me and checked to make sure I was ok. It’s now been 10 days and I’ve been through the research methodology stargate and have come out the other end. So far, the end result has been … Continue reading
More for me than for you…
Something I’ve never blogged about but feel like it’s time so that I can use it as a cathartic experience. I’m working on my doctoral dissertation. I’m three chapters in and I am stuck. I was supposed to have gotten the all clear for research and finishing up this process this summer. It’s been now … Continue reading
Some Stinky Stories…
This post could also be subtitled “A Bully Mom” and “Hating Change So Much, We Keep Hurting”. Alas, I will tell you why: This week started with Jack still having some remnants of a flu that’s going around…as a good and conscientious mother, I shoved an Advil down his throat and from the process of … Continue reading

My brain does feel a … Continue reading

The End of an Era…
Well, tomorrow morning marks the official end of this season of homeschooling. The big first day o’ school arrives at 7:45 a.m. The kids are excited and happily nervous…I’m happy for them. The Lord gave me a sweet time of reminiscing this morning during worship at church on this time of our life…we didn’t do … Continue reading
Food + People = Changed Lives!
From its earliest beginnings, this is what has embodied so much of Cadence ministry…Of course, we know that it is so much more than that, but it continues to be a platform which Cadence Missionaries dive off regularly into a pool of hope and transformed, Gospel-centered living. This morning, as we hosted our Discipleship Training … Continue reading
DTS – Week One and no broken bones for 8 days…
Just checking in with everyone…we are almost finished with our first full week of our Cadence Discipleship Training School…it’s been so great, full and we are blessed with the greatest group of people here…every time I interact with any of these students, I am blessed, encouraged and well…humored…there’s never not a funny and/or meaningful moment. … Continue reading
What just happened?
Yeah…feeling a lot like a truck ran us over last week and we were completely out of commission for half of the week! On Tuesday night before dinner, Buddy remarked that it would be nice “to have a relaxing evening” before DTS officially kicked off the next day. People should batten down the hatches when … Continue reading
