The Great Church Hunt

We have had a frustrating time looking for a church as I have typed about on here.  I am happy to say that The Great Church Hunt is O-V-E-R!!!  Of course God knew where we would land.  And we, being the stubborn sort of human that we are...ignored him.  Until he knocked us upside the head with a 2x4!

We are going to pursue joining Spirit of Joy.  It does feel like home. It is a church where a person can be real. the kids are loving it. We are meeting people. S and I are in a bible study.  The pastor truly 'pastors' and cares and you KNOW it without a doubt.  They welcome people to come in and pray and talk to God in the sanctuary. (and sometimes cry, scream, yell) 

So, if you come visit us, expect us to invite you to join us at Spirit of Joy...our new family.

Happy 6th Birthday in heaven

My little boy, Lucas David, would have been 6 years old today.  He was born still at 2:01am on Saturday, January 24, 2004. He had pudgy little cheeks meant for squeezing. wispy black hair.  And he was a linebacker already at 8 pounds 13 ounces and 21 inches long.

God, for reasons unknown to me, took him from my womb where he grew and leapt and slept straight to heaven. This image is the one I hold of my peapod.  And despite this journey of grief that I am currently on, I WILL hold him in my arms one day. I know that!  It is a hope that I cling to...

I created a new blog for a bible commentary I am following and a year long project I am undertaking.  You can find Streams of Consciousness in a Desert Land here

This will still be the place to go for fun photos and all the normal Kramer Crew antics!

How did it happen??? My baby girl is 5!!!  

Pink from head to toe...

...a total knockout - look out boys!
