With the exception of being excited about All Saints Day, I’ve been dreading November. I’ve been wishing I could just skip November and go right to December. December holds Advent, vacation, Christmas, our wedding anniversary, and of course, New Years Eve. December offers a lot to be excited about….but not November. November I can do

Okay, I’ll admit it. Halloween is a bit of fun. We had a grand time last night handing out candy, popcorn, hot chocolate, and connection cards at Fusion Homebase. We even had an epic light saber battle between Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny (in my estimation, Santa dominated that poor rabbit). After it was

God’s Love Letters to You, is a 40 day devotional journey that grew out of Dr. Larry Crabb’s intimate conversation with God in book-form entitled 66 Love Letters.

Best-selling author Squire Rushnell and his wife, entertainer and talk show host,

I started reading this book for a class I am taking this semester. I have to admit that more often than not I find myself less than impressed with the textbook selection for any given class. I’ve found myself saying time and time again, “this is awful, (insert book name here) would have been a

I’m not even sure what to title this. I stopped any reading or homework that I was doing tonight and watched an episode of “Chopped”. I’ve become quite fond of this show…Brittney even stood in the kitchen tonight as I was finishing my chicken tenderloin creation yelling, “1 minute remaining, chef!”. We sat and critiqued

I’m not usually a nervous person. But I can’t help it tonight. I’m going back to a former Church tomorrow morning to raise support for Fusion. It’s been over three years since I’ve been there, and I’m nervous. What if the words don’t come? What if they don’t buy in to the vision? But then

This is one of those reviews where one will clearly see that a reviewer is not required to write a positive review. You will find most of my reviews are not overly critical and are usually generous and positive. I can typically find something to glean from any book…except this one. I was extremely excited
