It never ceases to amaze me how God will go to great lengths to give us the desires of our hearts. I can still remember when, years ago, our pet guinea pig, Daisy, died suddenly. I took her death so hard that I announced to my family that we were […]

“Power and Wisdom from Christ” by J.M. Farro
I have discovered that when I rely on God’s Spirit, and take Him at His Word, I can know things and do things that I can’t do in the “natural”. For instance, my computer printer just jammed. Usually, when that happens, I have to wait until my husband, Joe, gets […]

“Where I Act Like a Wife and She Acts Like a Husband” by Josh Taylor

“Rule #32: Enjoy the Little Things” by Josh Taylor

“Thank God for ‘Fridays'” by John DiBiase
One of the downsides of having a newborn around all the time now is… it’s tough to go out. Amy and I were once the kind of couple that would often dash out to the movies or to dinner on a whim. We both work a lot, so it’s often […]
“Flashback: This Really was My Last Meal.” by Amy DiBiase
I think it is just too crazy to think about how much emphasis I put on food throughout my pregnancy … especially as I came close to the end. I became preoccupied with how much false labor I experienced, to the point where I would focus on practically every meal […]
