When I was growing up one of our favorite things to do was go stay with my Grams and PawPaw.  We knew when we woke up there would be homemade biscuits and gravy ready for us.  They have good frozen biscuits these day but nothing compares to homemade buttermilk biscuits. Grams always made them with […]

We started at Cumberland Mountain State Park. The kids wanted to fish and this was a great place. We also had a picnic by the playground and played a little pickleball at the tennis courts. They have camping sites and lots of water activities in the summer. This is a very family friendly location. Tuesday […]

This week we have been studying John 6 and talking about what Jesus meant when He said “I am the bread of life”. While riding in the van the other day my 8 year old looks at me and says she believes she is being called to be a missionary overseas. Today when we were […]

Wayne and I will celebrate 13 years of marriage this November. I can still remember our week in Hawaii on the Big Island like it was yesterday. I cannot wait till we can go back to Rainbow Falls and snorkel in the crystal clear water. If we could give advice to our couples it would […]

June 23, 2005 “Tonight was mine and Wayne’s first date.  What is incredible about that, is we talked about our wedding and engagement!  God has so perfectly and unexplainably orchestrated our relationship.  We prayed together for the first time last night.  It is just so awesome how things can work out when God is totally […]
