When I was a kid, reading was my favorite thing to do. I read just about every book in the school library and got in trouble many-a night for reading way after lights out. I adore good books! My heart skips a beat when I see signs go up for the biannual “Friends of the [...]
I remember it like it was yesterday. I was standing at my cubby in my first grade classroom, hanging up my denim jacket with the yellow lining, chatting excitedly with my best friend about my Christmas wishlist when she dropped a bomb on my world and announced that there was no Santa. I still remember [...]
I just wonder what the wise men of old would’ve thought of us when they brought their sacrificial gifts to the little Lord Jesus and knelt before him? What would Mary have said of the way we celebrate the birth of her Son, the Savior of the World, with crazed shopping and wrapping of piles [...]
It is high time for me to get back on the blogging wagon! I’ve poured myself a nice big cup of coffee and settled down to write since I’m home today with two sick little girls. There are several reasons why it’s been so long since I’ve posted anything. For one thing, nothing was happening [...]

After leaving home Friday evening, we spent the night in Savannah, Georgia before finishing the trip to Orlando, Florida on Saturday. My parents went with us, as well as my youngest brother and my sister Alana and her husband and two children. We spent [...]
Today is David’s birthday. I honestly think I enjoy his birthday much more than my own. I love figuring out ways to make it a special day for him and thinking up ideas for gifts, however large or small they may be. Last year’s gift was certainly not small–a Bullmastiff puppy that has now morphed [...]
Our sweet friend, Brittany Haizlip of BLH Images took some wonderful pictures of our family in the fall. In fact, the photos in the “About Us” section of I Will Come To You were among these. She had a contest on her business Facebook page and we were thrilled when we won another photo shoot [...]
