I would never call myself a seamstress, so making new curtains for our family room was a bit of a challenge for me. (How hard can it be to sew four rectangles, including the lining?!) Our blue curtains were over 25 years old and faded from the sun. We all like the new look! Continue reading New Curtains
Thank you for praying for us after Ben and Josh were hit last month. We are very grateful to God for watching over them. Amazingly, the boys only had minor injuries even though Ben’s car was totaled.

We had planned a nice time all together for the weekend, but our plans were changed when Ben and Josh were hit on their way to meet a friend. The boys are bruised and sore, but O.K.

Often, … Continue reading “For Such a Time as This”
Jenny was looking forward for more than a year to the release of the next Narnia movie, Prince Caspian. We made sure we saw the movie on opening weekend. After that, we had some Disney passes, which were going to expire, from when Ben and Josh used to work at Walt Disney World. So, we enjoyed a day together as a family at Disney’s Hollywood Studios. Almost first thing,we were delighted to find a Prince Caspian character actor. Of course, we had to stop for an autograph and picture. Jenny was on Cloud Nine all day. We were also able … Continue reading Prince Caspian
Ben is ready to start job-hunting. He would appreciate your prayers for God to clearly and quickly lead him to a job where he can use his physics education. He especially enjoys lab work.
