The same God works all of them.

There are different kinds of gifts, but the same Spirit. There are different kinds of service, but the same Lord. There are different kinds of working, but the same God works all of them in all men.

Writing Again.

I've decided to pick up where I left off a few years ago (before we went to seminary and had a baby) by writing for Helium.com again. Excitedly, I have had my first two articles written this week bought, and today I'm one of the writers featured on the Helium homepage (for the article, "How to Recover the Garden after a Sudden Frost"). Writing is definitely my art form and avenue to share my thoughts. Freelancing requires writing on various topics, but hopefully, with some consistent dedication to it, I can continue to improve as a writer and make a little extra money in so doing (and I mean a little, but that's ok, too)! :)

If you would like more info on writing for Helium, let me know and I can refer you.

Blue Cake Party!

2-6-2012 - We threw a surprise "Blue Cake Party" for Jesse's family! Here, Grandma Karen did the honors of cutting into the cake to find out if it was pink or blue. They were especially surprised to see BLUE, with 9 out of 10 of their grandchildren being girls! :) I love the kids' expressions, like, 'What's so special about a blue cake?"

How Deep the Father's Love for Us (sung by Fernando Ortega).

Why should I gain from His reward?

I cannot give an answer.

But, this I know with all my heart,

His wounds have paid my ransom.
