Okay I'm officially crazy. Or better yet, God is beyond creative in the ways He speaks. Two nights ago as I got ready for bed, I felt something rubbing against my back. With every move I made, I felt a sting. When I reached back to feel what it was, I felt the tag from my pjs. That's weird I thought, it never bugged me before. So I looked in the Continue Reading
Stop, Look -n- Listen: Phone
Before I left for vacation, I was talking on my phone and during my call--without warning--my phone died. What happened to the beep warning? When I looked down, this is what I saw.

I took this picture this week on a field trip to Elitch Gardens, a formerly owned Six Flags amusement park. Something about the way this weed Continue Reading
Stop, Look -n- Listen: Eye
Not too long ago I started experimenting with my Canon camera. I learned I could use the macro setting and get a clear close up shot of just about anything. Fascinating! Nothing was off limits. Ant piles. Fresh fruit. Budding tree limbs. A Triscuit cracker. One day while waiting for Hannah to get in the car after school, I focused my lens on my Continue Reading
