Life After Allergies

Believe it or not there is certainly life after death, and there is also life after allergies! We are each specially-configured and I should make the famous disclaimer that this post does not constitute “medical advice” “professional counsel” etc. but I must say that the following three tips have been the most helpful preventatives I’ve […]

This is just an overview; to see more, visit this Conference Picasa album.

Ooops!

Sometimes in life you have to take a leap of faith … … just make sure it’s a well-calculated leap! Two of our friends were recently moving a large stack of mattresses and decided to have some fun… Thankfully, nobody was hurt. 🙂

A Day of Remembering

Conference Prep

I arrived just a few days earlier than normal for Conference preparations here in Nashville, TN. Just let me say that there is much more that goes on behind the scenes than I ever imagined!
