Well hello, again! We are back on the road, and man…IT’S COLD!!! We’re here in balmy Minneapolis, MN, the land of 10,000 lakes, and of course, the birthplace of the legendary coach Gordon Bombay! It’s been a joy to quote one of our bands’ collective favorite movies. Good times. We’re […]
“The Maiden Voyage of the Moses Basket” by Amy DiBiase
Yesterday we embarked on the maiden voyage of the Moses basket!!! For those of you wondering, this did not involve me putting Will in the stereotypical baby basket and sending him down the Lehigh River … it did however, involve that I got the beautiful basket out of the corner […]

“Ask God for Something Tangible” by J.M. Farro
When we are in a difficult place, and we are seeking the Lord, sometimes it helps to ask Him to answer our prayer in the form of something tangible. Remember the story of good King Hezekiah and the illness that threatened his life? God had Isaiah the prophet tell His […]
Mom Farro’s Pumpkin Pie
This recipe is my mother’s, and has been in our family for more than 50 years. It has five spices, and is perfect for those of us who like a well-seasoned pie. I make it often for my family, especially for my son, John, who loves to eat it all […]
“Reflecting on Thanksgiving and the Holiday Season” by Fireflight’s Justin Cox
Every year we all like to take time to reflect on what we are thankful for. We in Fireflight are no exception. This past Sunday night we had our band trailer stolen. Most of everything we owned professionally was is that trailer. Guitars, amps, drums, merchandise(t-shirts, posters, cd’s, etc), even […]
“Power for the Weary” by J.M. Farro
The other day, my husband, Joe, spent the entire afternoon outdoors cleaning our duck pond, mowing the lawn, and tidying up our shed. When he came back indoors, he exclaimed, “I’m exhausted and can hardly move!” I had been cleaning house all day myself, so I had a pretty good […]
“Pros and cons and pros and cons and proooooos” by Scott Fryberger
There’s my Jimmy Fallon reference for the day. There’s this new thing called “digital music.” It’s odd…nowadays, you can just get online, pay some money with your credit card (or PayPal….but that’s another blog in itself), and instantly have music on your computer. Yes, full songs! Full albums, even! Anyways, […]
“A God Who Goes to Great Lengths” by J.M. Farro
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 […]
