Pancreatic Cancer Awareness Month

November is National Pancreatic Cancer Awareness Month. Please consider wearing a purple ribbon to honor, remember and encourage those who have lost loved ones or have loved ones struggling with this disease. It is one of the most terrible types of cancer you could ever have because, the majority of the time, there are no symptoms until it is too late to do much about it.

I wear a ribbon to honor and remember my father and my brother. Oh, how I miss them.

A Day Out With Thomas

We traveled to Nashville several weeks ago to take William to see Thomas. If you don't have a 3 or 4 year old little boy you might not realize what a humongous deal this is. We were going to see the ACTUAL Thomas the Train--and get to take a ride. It was a scorcher that day but he did not care. It was the ultimate day of fun for him--and the rest of us enjoyed it, too. They had miniature golf, tattoos, movies, a petting zoo, photos with Sir Topham Hatt and much, much more! It was a bit pricey but I am telling you--it was sooooo worth it.

Life Group Conversation

We were discussing anger in our Life Group the other night. Funny how the conversation quickly turned to parenting! Our group has 14 adults and 13 children--so everyone had a story! It was refreshing to sit and hash things out with people who are going through the same things with their children that I am going through with mine. We didn't even have the "perfect solutions" to every situation--and it was ok. We have each other to help with accountability. But we also have the word of God. That's not nothin'!
