  • So Emma, Ready to change the world?

    I’ve been asking this question to Emma for a few days now.  “Emma, what can you and mom do together to change this world and help people?”  So far here are her responses.   – We can make a fruit machine.  Oh but that won’t work… it probably would not work all the time.  – We could…

  • Apple Pie

    Well I did it.  I baked my first apple pie last night.  (GASP…WOW…ARE YOU KIDDING ME?…IS SHE SERIOUS?) Yes.  I don’t like to bake… still don’t like to bake but I will do anything to make my kids day.  And yes, I’ve been married 10 years and have never baked an apple pie.  A few…

  • Praying over the dossier

    Last night we got together with our family for dinner.  My grandmother made our favorite meal… Chicken Supreme and we all got together to pray over our dossier before we send it on it’s way.  What an amazing evening.  I think it’s really hard at times for the older generation… 80+ year olds to understand…
