Twas the Night Before Prom

Well, this is the big weekend for my oldest son - Prom! We are a pretty modest family who strive to live within our means and live as simple as possible. Our vehicles are dependable, but not "prom vehicles" according to our teenage son. But...we have this aunt - Aunt Ro - and she is awesome! She is hip, mod and loads of fun. All my boys love her and love spending time with her. She relates well to each son and shows them attention and love. And guess what??? She drives this awesome car:

And in typical Aunt Ro style - when she heard about the prom plans, she volunteered the use of her cool car. My son was on cloud nine - wouldn't you be???


So, we had some fun when we traded vehicles, posing with "the car". Here is my son and his friend who will be going to the prom also. They will be double dating.


Have you ever seen a teenage boy so happy to pose with his mother????


Have you ever seen a mother so happy to pose in a car???!!!

Sometimes We Score, Sometimes We Block

Our family is in the midst of little league soccer season. My youngest son is playing and his enthusiasm is contagious. He is pretty good at the sport, but what makes it so great is that he loves it! He counts the days until the next game or practice. He loves his coach and teammates. He has moved up an age level this year and the players are working more like team, passing to each other and watching out for each other during play. During the last game, my son scored two goals, they were the only goals of the game. In today's game the team scored eight goals. My son came up afterwards to me and said, "I didn't score today, but I blocked". What a powerful truth those words can hold. In life, sometimes we score, sometimes we block. Sometimes we do great things, we excel, we achieve, we meet our goal - we score! There are also times we see the needs of others, sometimes they are sad or hurting, we block their hits. We look out for them so they can score. We

Relationships and Redemption

In every friendship or relationship, there is a common hope that they will grow and flourish. There is something inside of us that longs for a 'happy every after' story. We dream about it and work to make that happen. But in reality, relationships are a challenge. The bridging of values, lifestyles, interests and sacrificing for another are simply hard things to do! No matter how much we dream of the perfect fit, some relationships will not endure the stress.  When differences appear and tensions arise, prayer can change situations, attitudes and ourselves. For the Christian, we know God can transform, change, heal. We cannot change others, but prayer opens us the door for God to step in and answer. God desires transformation, but does not demand it. The gift of free will allows us to choose to say Yes or No to Him.  Romans 12:18 says, “If possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all.” Take notice of the first two words: “If possible …” This implies that some
