Where do you think we’re going for our baby-moon?
A couple of weeks ago, I informed you, the blog reader, that Abigail and I would be going on a baby-moon. Well… I’ll let you know where we go later, but I wanted you to feel part of the action! So, take a gander at where we’re going. If you’re right, virtual high-five!.
The BEST book I’ve read this year so far
Every year I set some whisper goal* in regards to how many book and what types of books I will read. These books will span different genre’s from leadership, comics, theology, fiction/non-fiction, etc. but sometimes, a book grabs you, shakes you to your core, and sets you up for what lies ahead. This has been that book for me. It is one that I’ve recommended the most & will most likely give the most this year – why? because life is not one blessing to another, rather a winding road in which God will see us through – that’s what this book biblically teaches.
Watch the trailer which will give you a good idea of it’s purpose.
You can purchase the book HERE.
*a whisper goal is something I say to myself, and it’s nobody’s business as to what it is.

Can you believe that it’s February?! January has been just a crazy pace. It really flew by. So, I’ll let you catch up on the top posts for the month of January:
- Why I’ll be less critical of church signs: If God can redeem me… He can redeem church signs.
- 5 Things I Learned at Birthing Classes: I ran into “the placenta” at this class.
- 5 signs you’re talking to a kook after church: Yes, this is a true encounter.
- More unfortunate news from our friends at Preemptive Love: We not only lost Soma this year, but also Teeba. It was quite sad. BUT – there is HOPE… once we hear from PLC, we’ll let you know who will be going to surgery!
- I’m very happy (at this point) where we’re headed for our ‘baby-moon’: In a little under two weeks, Abigail and I will be getting away for a little pause before the madness of “baby” comes. We’ll let everyone (all 3 of you who actually care) know where we’re headed.

Why I’ll be less critical of annoying church signs
Upon reading the title, many of you automatically know what I mean by “those church signs” – you know, like the ones above. Typically, these signs are made fun of, seen as ridiculous, and in my mind, do more harm for the cause of Jesus than benefit. But as I was getting a hair-cut, the barber-lady began to speak about her life story and the troubles she’s had. I did my best to speak the gospel into her life, and she made the mention of her appreciation for me sharing with her where I find hope in times of distress.
And then the story took a twist. She mentioned her great appreciation to the messages on church signs. She shared that in many instances, those signs brought her closer to God/got her back on track from where she was to where she needed to be in her relationship with God. Pretty crazy huh?
So, maybe I’ll still laugh and scoff at those crazy signs on churches – but I’ll remember that to some, it’s a benefit.
