    Little Things Mean a Lot

    December 1, 2025 / No Comments

    “Little Things Mean a Lot” was one of my mom’s favorite songs.  It starts off like this: “Blow me a kiss from across the room,Say I look nice when I’m not,Touch my hair as you pass my chair,Little things mean a lot.” These timeless lyrics are spot on – little things DO mean a lot.

    The World Turned Upside-Down

    October 13, 2025 / 2 Comments

    September 11, 2001.  March 25, 2016.  November 24, 2024.  September 28, 2025.  These are days when time stood still and our world suddenly turned upside-down.  There have been others, for sure, but these have been some of the most difficult days we’ve had to deal with in our 34 years of marriage. Julie: September 11 needs no explanation.  March 25 is the day my mom took her last breath after 3 months in the ICU after a failed surgery.  On November 24, John’s dad lost his battle with Alzheimer’s.  And September 28 was the day we were told to leave our church and get home to safety as an active…

    Love Goals

    September 29, 2025 / No Comments

    Chris: They say the road to hell is paved with good intentions.  We would say that the road to an unfulfilling relationship, may be paved with those same intentions. Does this sound familiar?  You intend to be romantic, caring, sexy or fun but, you’re too tired, you come home late from work or you just simply forget.  Is it because you’re thoughtless, because you care more about your job or because you have the romantic aptitude of a sponge?
