a truth we are believing …

Matthew 1:21

She will bear a son, and you shall call his name Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins.

The glorious gospel: Jesus saves us from our sin.

a way we are living …

Want your environment to feel more peaceful and less cluttered? 

Then find a place for everything and put everything in its place!

This simple statement has become a standard saying around our home. Because of some of the needs in our family, things can’t be left around. They get thrown, eaten, and broken. So we adopted this motto years ago.

Not only has it helped our kiddos, it has helped Amy and I keep things tidy, clear out the extra stuff that we no longer use, and created a peaceful environment for our entire family. 

a book we are reading …

Summer is the best time to take a break from the historical fiction that we read with our kids for homeschool. We dive into books that we simply don’t have the time for during the school months. 

Patricia St. John’s five books are family treasures. Here are our favorites:

1. Treasures in the Snow

2. The Tanglewood’s Secret

3. Rainbow Garden

4. Star of Light

5. The Secret at Pheasant Cottage

an idea we are pondering …

Business does not equal focus and an open schedule does not equal laziness.

If your living purposefully…your life is going to look different than 99% of those around you.

an item we are recommending …

We have never needed a regular wheelchair until these past couple months for Levi’s rehab.

From what we researched and purchased, Drive has been the best brand that makes a quality wheelchair at a reasonable price. 

If you or one you care for need a wheelchair, we highly recommend Drive as well as the extra cushion to combat pressure sores.
