FLTBeachBag

It’s almost beach time (well, here in Florida, it is definitely beach time!), and that means it’s time to stow away a beach bag in the car. I always keep this in the car or right by the door, because you never know when you’ll decide a dip in the water is in order. “The [...]

why I get out of my pajamas each day

via When Aaron and I first got married I had an older woman in the church give me some advice that I wasn’t sure about at first, but tucked it away in my brain thinking that it might be necessary later in life.  She told me that I needed to look nice for my husband, [...]

The 72 Hour Club {A Man’s Perspective: The With}

The 72 Hour Club The With

I guess I’m on the hook to share “the with”.  Not that there’s any pressure or anything.  I’m only the husband of the 72 hour club creator and FLT author, Danielle,  and my answer is expected to fall in-line .  However, I think I will go in a different direction. There was a time in [...]

Faith-based fashion

  I’m big on the heart-things. The inner things. But see…the external things, such as how we talk, what we wear, and how we interact with others, are very often extensions of and expressions of the internal things.   The same is true with fashion, as it is an immediate expression of what we portray [...]

Despite the Desert

  I was putting the dishes away, scrubbing the kitchen counters, tidying up the house. I imagined the smile on Nathan’s face. How relaxed and thankful he would be when he came home. “The house looks great, hon.” His exact words, every time. Bursting with gratitude and love.   I smiled to myself, and told [...]

His pruning brings life

source I found myself face to face with God’s sovereignty.  Three years ago, after a journey that involved miscarriage, devastation, and the bleak understanding that control was not mine to have, I started to let go. You would think that, in those circumstances, the stark reality of my own lack of control would find me [...]

To read about The 72 Hour Club and that Christian women are realizing the legitimacy of their husband’s sexual needs, as well as the personal benefits [...]

Let Your Faith Bloom

One of my most favorite sermons my pastor has ever preached was about letting your faith bloom, so it’s a bit funny that this month’s theme is Burst into Bloom. I’m always working on letting my faith bloom, I think that’s something we work on our whole lives. So, exactly how do you let your faith [...]

IMG_20130206_150207

    If there is one thing I claim to be, it is a Baker. Without hesitation. If there is one thing I know, its gifts for bakers. I absolutely love using wooden spoons to mix and scrape and stir, but they sure aren’t anything fancy to look at…. until today!!!        Do you give [...]
