Guys, Sunbutter is good!!! I must lead with this because I was somewhat shocked. I’ve been borderline obsessing about this book I’m reading (It Starts With Food). I’ve only been reading it at night, so it’s taking me a while to get through it. But I’m not against reading it slowly because it’s a lot …
How many times have I tried to mentally/physically make myself feel more valuable? Countless times. Sure, we can busy ourselves, set high goals, volunteer, go to church, do everything we consider to be righteous and worthy and good. But truthfully, what builds your confidence? I have done things in my life that I am proud …
Matt and I ran out to fix a couple things at the rental house yesterday and when we came home the front door was wide-open and our precious Nala was gone. If our front door isn’t locked, it doesn’t always latch right, so I was not thinking someone intruded. Baby Gretel was as excited as …
Four hours of working out everyday is not a sustainable lifestyle, unless you are a collegiate or professional athlete. I’m no longer either of those things. Some days I look back at my crazy busy, in-shape collegiate days as a curse. How will I ever get in that sort of shape again? Those expectations are …
“Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother’s eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye? Matthew 7:3 In case you were needing a Lego visual… I do not know what a plank in the eye would feel like, but it sounds painful and blinding. I was going …
Matt and I are always in awe of how wrapped up fans can get in sports. We just cannot grasp the rioting and fights that break out. I understand emotional investment in sport because I have been having annual heart attacks watching the San Antonio Spurs since 1999. I’m sure I watched some Spurs games …
I recently watched a documentary called “Food Matters”. The film argues for more vitamins, less drugs, better food. The “pill for every ill” mantra is one I’m guilty of ignorantly adopting. Not that a pop a ton of pills, I just trust that whatever the doctor gives me will be good stuff. One doctor in …
My neighbor is doing something called #100happydays, where she posts things/sights/people that make her happy. In turn, it makes me happy, so I like her idea. There are so many people who are happy despite their poverty, their war-torn surroundings, their seemingly miserable conditions. Here in the land of the free and home of the …
I went to a wedding last weekend. It was lovely in every way, which is representative of the sweet bride, my cousin Kristen. Her groom seems like a stellar person too. At the wedding reception I was placed at a table with my brother and sis-in-law, my mama’s cousin and spouse, and a friendly couple …
Good morning! Inspiration is the word of the day. Don’t expect a word of the day everyday. I don’t want to submit to that precedent. But today, there’s a word. My swimming days were either exploding with inspiration or miserable repetitions. But what I recall the most now are those days of abounding inspiration. I …
