Fireproof – the movie – Please *go* see it! Posted on September 30, 2008 By pamela I very rarely make a bold movie recommendation and I don’t think I’ve ever suggested that there’s a movie *every* married couple must see. Until now. Now, I’m not caught up in the afterglow of a tremendous movie or in a bunch of emotional hype that seems to be the… Read more
life’s monuments Posted on September 27, 2008 By pamela I woke up this morning with the sun beginning to paint the sky and I thought back to yesterday morning… My first thought was: I did it!

Have you ever been in a valley and wondered what in the world you’ve accomplished in life – or if the things you’ve done have any lasting value? As I was praying and going to sleep the other night, I asked the LORD about… Read more
It takes a mama… Posted on September 9, 2008 By pamela I don’t get out much… some, but not much. And, for the most part, I like it that way. O, don’t get me wrong: I love to go places, I love to do things and I love to see new things. But I love being home. When I do go… Read more
Another first day of school Posted on September 8, 2008July 23, 2015 By pamela I woke up this morning with eager anticipation for the day: our 21st “first day of homeschool.” In the early days of homeschooling, I would not have even guessed where we would be today — in terms of both where we’ve been or how many children have been taught… Read more
