General 5 April 2010 | 0 Comments

I had already been thinking about fasting something for a week. So when our satellite and DVR went out last week after church I took it as a sign. Daniel and I had toyed with the idea before of saving money by cutting off our television. We took the week to see what it would [...]

Last week the Meat & Dance crew came over for “French Night.” Annabelle had been sick for a few days and I was giving her breathing treatments every 2 hours (even in the night.) I was so tired, but I really wanted a fun night after the rough days I had. A whiny inconsolable toddler [...]
