I love the Olympics.  I admire these people who work so hard for so many years to train for this moment, knowing that they could win a Gold, they could come home empty-handed, or anything in between.  What dedication they have.  Kind of like Chelsey’s singing–or any of the other dedicated singers, or Chip’s playing […]

Interesting when you read the Xangas that come into your mailbox in the morning, and one of them has a comment from someone where a guy is asking your son’s girlfriend if she and your son are still going out…  What a way to start the morning.  Actually, that’s not how the morning started.  It […]

Ok, so it did snow.  Our whole youth group was praying for snow, but I don’t think that’s why it came.  I like to think that God enjoyed having snow come when it wasn’t predicted.  Yes, He has a great sense of humor–I’m sure of it! Valentine’s Day was nice.  Chocolate Truffles are delicious!  Chip […]

Would you please pray for Emily and Mary and their family right now?  Their grandfather died last night of a heart attack.  It was so sudden and so unexpected, and the girls will have so many emotions to deal with.  I know that you’ll be good friends and let them know you’re thinking of and […]

Siegel Nation looks like this, only multiplied by a couple of hundred. Bernie has some great cheers he could teach them.  They could use some new, fun cheers.  He could get them intotrouble, too, though.  Maybe he should stay in the adultsection.  He gets into trouble there, too, sometimes.  Adults are just bigger kids, you […]
