January 28, 2013

If you are EVER needing resources for teaching the Bible to your kids, who am I kidding these videos help adults too, What's In The Bible is your GO TO spot! I love to have them in the car for long trips because we all learn something as we listen to them.

The Dreamers Club

January 22, 2013

I am an 80's kid. So movies like The Breakfast Club, Pretty in Pink, St. Elmo's Fire, and Some Kind of Wonderful were all on my watch over and over and over and over again list.

So this weeks challenge from Holley Gerth to reach out and solidify that I have buddies that are supporting me and encouraging me in the dream caused some heart palpitations. I have ...

2012 Failure Seeking Your Best Advice.

Do I have any fans of failure out there? Anyone just love looking like an idiot? Anyone just proud as can be when something is a flop and want to give me a pep talk about how failure is the only way to learn what will be a win? When I took the time to look back on 2012 I didn’t have many check marks or things crossed off on my BIG goals list. In fact I can really only count 1 thing as “done”. You see I have become slightly paralyzed by a fear of failure. I am hopeful the damage is ...
