Dad


It's in small moments that I miss you. 
When I have one less phone call to make on Thanksgiving. 
When I have an extra Christmas card. 
When I am singing along to the radio to a song I have sung over and over again.  
Today that song is different. Now it means more. Now it hits a heart string. Now it makes me tear.
 Today you were no longer there. Today I knew that I would no longer hear "I Love You" from you.
I don't think I will be able to watch one of my favored movies through to the end anymore, as "Amazing Grace" played on the bagpipes made me start sobbing. And surely it always will.

It's in these small moments that I will always miss you.
I love you and miss you Dad.

Webb and I got home one night from a night out alone (few and far between these days) and little Sam had fallen asleep on Cat's bed. Just too cute not to snap a photo.

I want to be a loser

I hate to admit how complacent I have gotten with being healthy.  I know what I need to do which makes it much worse than just being ignorant.  I know how to count calories (or points).  It's a simple equation more output than input.  Add in chaos and the need of convenience and it no longer seems quite as simple.  In addition to the chaos I have a huge weakness for sugar!  Preferably the chocolate variety.  But really any sort of 'sweet' will do.   My hubby and I came to a so called agreement right after Christmas.  I will give up sweets and he will give up soda (his weakness).  "Give up" is so very harsh.  Neither of us has been perfect with it.  He of course has done much better than I.  Unfortunately for him I am weak and when I have given into my sweet tooth I have tended to bring him a Coke.  Oh only upon typing that out did I realize how horrible I have been.  Did it take anyone else back to Genesis?  Ouch.  The above reason though is why accountability in

Putting off the old

If indeed you have heard Him and have been taught in Him, just as truth is in Jesus, that, in reference to your former manner of life, you lay aside the old self, which is being corrupted in accordance with the lusts of deceit, and that you be renewed in the spirit of your mind, and that you be renewed in the spirit of your mind , and put on the new self, which in the likeness of God has been created in righteousness and holiness of the truth." Ephesians 4:21-24 It is so tough to lay aside my old self at times. But, with Christ all things are possible! As I am made more aware of his truths I must choose to obey or not to. I have done the "not to" so many times in the last 4 and a half years and have found that it is so much easier to just obey the first time. Growing pains are rough at times, however, I am grateful for them. It is through them that I grow closer to my heavenly Father. I'm sure you have guessed by now that we are going through some growing
