Some things cannot be duplicated with words. I can’t adequately describe the experience of moving internationally, for all adjectives for the sights, sounds, and smells fall short. Suffice it to say we uprooted our family from rural America to metropolitan Asia. And we took along a two-year-old. Suddenly, the following will make perfect sense – no matter where you live. It …
By: Joyce Herron, Founder of Trinity Christian School, Lubbock It was 3:15 a.m. on Monday, July 28, 1999. I was sitting on the only seat in my house, not on bricks or stilts.

At that time I was single, and …
Carrie Vipperman joins us at Hungry For More again today. I love her depth of spirit and perception, especially as she seeks the Lord. Thanks Carrie for reminding us of what is really important. ———————- “But, Mo-o-o-m, his headlamp BLI-I-NKS!!” Just like that, all the joy that my little girl had felt from our time playing as a family …
In fact, mothering is not for the faint of heart. It’s not so much the diapers, the vomit, or the urine. In all of these situations you can find quick, clean air behind you. Just turn your head and breathe over your shoulder. It’s there every time. No, the real challenge of motherhood begins when your child …
I loved this recent post by Karen Dilbeck and just had to share it. I think that you will love it, too! ———————— “As we dumped each of our three boys at their respective colleges, I slipped an envelope onto their pillows.
