Railene chose this weeks blog image- her squishy, Keyra It’s hard to believe we are in the month of April already. The temperature is gradually warming; the snow is melting, and my children are finally able to go outside without heavy snow-gear on (usually).

Lightspeed and Heartbreak
Holy moly! Things are moving at a fast pace lately. It seems like only yesterday I started teaching again after many years; and that it didn't seem all that long ago that Isaac was using his bedroom wall (the one adjacent to my room) as a drum. The children are growing faster than I ever … Continue reading Lightspeed and Heartbreak

It also describes what our house was like - a jungle. Wild. Crazy, and not a great place for a vacation. May … Continue reading Blog Challenge: Railene’s Request
Underserved Mercy
I awake to see the grey sky, the dark clouds covering, and the reminder of yesterday. All I can do is ask, “Why?” The emptiness inside that comes with defeat, the feeling of failure, and fear. All I can do is ask, “Why?” As tears roll down my face, and my heart yearns for change, … Continue reading Underserved Mercy
A Christmas Without Fear
I won’t keep you long today, as we all know the busyness of the Christmas season and…only one more sleep to Christmas!!! ( I personally count down to Christmas Eve, sort of an Eason tradition that started with me, but for the sake of conformity I will count down here till the 25🙂) Today’s post … Continue reading A Christmas Without Fear
Watch Out For The Sirens: How Our Technology Might Not Be Helping Us
Holy moly! Talk about distractions these past few weeks. I’ve been finding myself seeping away into an abyss of ‘things’: TV, Video Games, iPhone, Facebook- you name it! It’s so strange that the timing for these distractions seemed to coincide with my wife and I becoming Youth Leaders at our local church. Go figure. Whenever … Continue reading Watch Out For The Sirens: How Our Technology Might Not Be Helping Us
