Events, vacations, birthdays, testimonies, celebrations; anything you can think of that a family has done together.
The Lord has been giving me a deep desire to pray and commune with Him. One day I was praying but it didn’t feel like prayer. It didn’t feel deep and fulfilling. Later that very morning a friend shared what God had been teaching them about bringing God pleasure. It dawned on me that I […]
It was great to see everyone working together and involved at the ATI home education conference that we attended in Indianapolis last week! I was at my CAPTURE booth, Donald was running the Embassy booth, Esther was helping out in Pre-Embassy, Daniel was playing piano for the Children’s Institute, and our whole family got to […]
As you can see from the pictures, this has been such a glorious week in OKC. Visiting Amy, her husband Kenyon and sweet little Abigail has been a fun, encouraging vacation! But let me tell you how the Lord grabbed my attention on Wednesday night to remind me to let go of earthly treasures and […]
The Bill of Rights is divided into ten parts, most of them very short, and written in sentences that are direct and easy to understand. Because it is the most practical part of the Constitution for civilians to memorize let’s start with it. Here is AMENDMENT 1: Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment […]

I am so grateful that Dad has encouraged us to write testimonies about how the Lord is teaching us His commands. This week the command He challenged me with is to love Him above all else. (Matthew 21:21-22). "la, la, la, la, la" My alarm was going off again. I pushed snooze a couple times […]
It’s been just over a month since we had the privilege of making the trip down to North Carolina to witness the wedding of Matthew and Amanda Wilkes! It was evident that both the Wilkes and Neely families had put a lot of love, time and effort into creating a ceremony that would honor the Lord in every […]
With Grandpa and Grandma, here in their hometown … With Aunt Judy to visit and more company on the way … With homegrown cherries in an ice-cream-topped cobbler … With perfect June weather, a blend of spring and summer … With a glimpse of the oriole and the air filled with bird songs … […]
Not so far! Abby and I have enjoyed putting in a garden this spring! I am so grateful for brother David starting the tomato plants for me. They survived the car ride, transplanting, local animals, my pruning, and now we will see if they survive the storms. Thanks for all your tips Michael and David! […]
