We moved to this lovely mid-west town, affectionately known as The Burg, two and a half years ago. Little did we know that we would fall in love with this town and it’s people. Sure, it has it’s frustrations like all relationships, but the people here and the countryside puts you right back into perspective. ShortlyContinue reading “Life is Beautiful”

Love Hurts
It’s been about three weeks since we moved into our new town and our new place that we call home. It has taken me awhile to post with all the unpacking, cleaning and getting things into working condition. As I have posted before, I have the privilege of helping our youngest son and his lovelyContinue reading “Love Hurts”
So Long, Farewell
In two days we will have moved all our worldly goods out of the KCMO area. It was a great tour of duty. Moving is exciting to me and exhausting. It also stirs up all kinds of emotions. Our last five and half years in this location has been very good, yet very hard inContinue reading “So Long, Farewell”
A Hard Road to Travel – Happy Chinese New Year
It was late January of 2005. Our family was grieving the loss of our daughter. Her memorial was on the 17th of January (you can read our loss journey here – Darkest Day).

A transition in our lives. It can be a move or a job or a family situation or aContinue reading “Out of This”
The Bruises of Life
Another tragedy for America – The Boston Marathon Bombings. With each disaster that hits our nation comes a twinge of pain, as in an old wound that acts up from time to time. When we experienced first hand a great loss in our family (see Prisoner of Hope series on this blog) it brought aContinue reading “The Bruises of Life”
Encouragement
Saw this on Facebook today in the context of remembering a loved one that has passed: “For every person who has ever lived there has come, at last, a spring he will never see. Glory then in the springs that are yours.” (Australian poet, Pam Brown)

Prisoner of Hope – The Colors of Hope
part 12 ……. I have a friend who loves to tell stories of hope. They’re the kind of stories where you could sit back and close your eyes and see yourself in your daddy’s lap, holding onto every word, feeling safe and secure. No matter how many times I hear his stories I getContinue reading “Prisoner of Hope – The Colors of Hope”
