We started the week celebrating Palm Sunday with the kids singing in church.  They did such an awesome job! Thanks to my friend Andrea for getting this photo.  I wasn’t sure I could direct and take a photo at the same time!

One of my favorite hymns is “It is Well, With My Soul”.  It was written by Horatio Spafford in 1873.  He had suffered the loss of his son and then suffered losses in the business world after the Chicago fires.  A short time later, while his wife and four daughters were traveling, their ship was…

I am certainly not perfect.  I have flaws, lots of them.  I screw up a lot.  I make mistakes every single day. 1. I hold grudges. 2. I don’t make my husband a priority. 3. I yell at my kids. 4. I don’t have the cleanest house. 5. I have lied. 6. I ignore responsibilities.…
