Unbelievable Opportunity: Anne Jackson

We have the privilege of hosting Anne Jackson's tour.

This is a MUST ATTEND event. It really is.

Getting healthy

Since July 19 I've completed 32 workouts, went 249.96 miles through biking, walking and jogging, and lost 28 pounds.

And I feel good.

Mornings with My Boys

Dakota is in Second Grade.

Riley is in Kindergarten.

They are sponges.

This year I am doing my best to start every morning sharing some spiritual insight into their lives. At first you may think, these guys are young...what could they really understand?

I think they understand a lot. These are forming years. These are the huge opportunities to shape our kids into who they will become as adults.

So, every morning at the breakfast table we'll talk about God's Word and how it can apply to our lives. We talk, we read, we answer questions about life, and we pray.

And as a parent, I found a tool that made this VERY easy.

I use "My First Message: A Devotional Bible for Kids.

I love it.
