We Strive Not For Men

Recently I was working in my sun room and stopped to really study this frame and it's contents. Back in 2013, Lynn and Julia and I were asked to speak about Common Core in Canton, OK. We left Oklahoma City in rain coming down so hard that we could barely see - truly treacherous driving conditions - but we always felt that if someone wanted to hear our research on the topic, we'd do whatever we needed to do to get wherever we were asked to go.

A Band-Aid For the Soul

My husband and I are early risers. We've never gotten up past 7am - unless we're sick - and we're rarely to bed past 10. Weekday mornings Dave is up at 4:30am and I'm up at 5:30. Even on Sunday mornings when we'll be off to church by 9, we're still up at 6, preparing to go out and plant a few things that didn't get in the garden, taking care of animals, fence lines or other chores, before coming in to get ready for church.
