I am the boisterous one of our marriage. I don’t mind standing in front of crowds and speaking or singing to the masses. I love large gatherings and don’t even mind making a fool of myself from time to time. Sometimes I am embarrasingly honest. Because I am often in the public eye, I look […]
Confession #2: I have already contemplated changing my name, and moving to Bermuda. Jamin called on Monday to let me know he was extending his hunting trip a few more days.

You will find me here on this upholstered chair near the Tiffany lamp. It’s quiet here. It’s peaceful here. The front windows face out to the Cook Inlet and Mount Illiamna. It smells “new” in here because the wood hasn’t been weathered very long. I’m in my Mother-in-law’s Memorial Chapel. Before she passed away from

My shelves are stocked with teas, coffees and other hot drinks. I keep a stash of flavored syrups, creams and sweetener substitutes. The kettle is on the stove top ready to be heated at any moment to share a cup of tea a friend or new acquaintance. One thing that Jamin and I love to
I did it again!! Aughhhh!!! How is it I keep making the same mistakes?! I was a Martha when He wanted me to be a Mary. I had so much to do, so much to accomplish. I was doing all of it for Him. Okay, okay, I was doing a lot of my acts of
