Lunar Eclipse: December 2011

Posted in Christian Life, Family, and Photography

O LORD, our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth! who hast set thy glory above the heavens. Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings hast thou ordained strength because of thine enemies, that thou mightest still the enemy and the avenger. When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained; What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him? For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and hast crowned him with glory…

Thankful Thursday: Surgery Recovery Update

Posted in Family, and Photography

D met with the military “board” yesterday.  We are now cautiously optimistic about D’s future in the military.  We were given some hope that due to his rank and job that he’ll be able to continue being a Marine, and he could make it to retirement.  They were pleased to see how well he was doing already.  He has rough days especially when he does too much, but recovery is going well.  We still have a long road ahead, and things could change in an instant. We gave this whole situation to the Lord and trusted that He would provide…

A Doggy Christmas Part 1 #ILoveMyk9 #CBias

Posted in Family

It’s no secret that our “puppy” is spoiled. It’s also no secret that he’s no longer a puppy.  In fact, he’s actually 14-years-old.  He has various older dog issues, so we do all we can to make his life enjoyable and a little easier.  That means that on many days I’m carrying our sweetie up and down the stairs.  It also means less sleep at night as he needs to go out more frequently.  As you can see, adopting a dog is a lifetime commitment.  Way back when we first adopted him from the humane society, we honestly didn’t know…

Marriage Monday: A Place of Rest

Posted in Christian Life, and Family

  I’ve been giving a lot of thought lately into what makes a marriage work.  Obviously, marriage is not easy, and a healthy marriage doesn’t just happen.  We have to work at it every day, fight for it, never grow complacent. One of the simplest things we can do as wives is make sure our homes are a place of peace, rest, comfort for our entire family – especially our spouse.  Does my home welcome my husband?  Does he look forward to walking through the door after a hard day of work?  If not, what can I do to change…

Back to Work He Goes

Posted in Family, Holidays, Military Life, and Photography

Today was D’s first day back to work after his surgery.  Thanks to a long Thanksgiving weekend, it was only a half day of work.  He was pretty wiped and hurting by the time he came home, but overall things went pretty well.  We keep thinking back to the previous back surgery and find ourselves so grateful that it all went better this time around.  Last time he went back to work, I was receiving text messages from a concerned Marine saying that he really needed to go back to the doctor prior to coming back to work.  This time,…
