    December 15, 2025 / 1 Comment

    Michelle: I love watching Dancing with the Stars. Chris: I love watching Ghost Hunters and I hate that I know the pros, past and present, who have been on Dancing with the Stars. Michelle: One of the pros, Mark Ballas, sings with his wife when he is not performing or rehearsing for a Tuesday night show. Chris: One afternoon, Michelle sent me the song, Highs and Lows, by Alexander Jean (the band formed by Mark Ballas and his wife Brittney Jean). Michelle sent it with a text that read, “This is so us.” Michelle: I remember as a child, hearing that opposites attract and being confused by the concept. My…

    The Waiting is the Hardest Part

    December 7, 2025 / No Comments

    Sometimes, waiting is the hardest part. This is a classic season of waiting as children of all ages wait for Christmas and Santa and presents. As Christians in the Season of Advent, we are called to wait for the coming of our Savior. This is historical and ever-current at the same time. Our calling is to wait well, both looking forward to the future while accepting the present as the gift that it is.

    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.

    Play!

    November 9, 2025 / No Comments

    Play is not just for kids. It strengthens bonds as a married couple and as a family. Studies have shown play builds trust and boosts the emotional and mental well-being of children and parents. Play adds joy to life and who doesn’t need that! Play is an outlet for stress. Unlike scrolling or vegging in front of the TV, active play burns calories and connects us with others in real time.

    What Was Your Success Today?

    November 3, 2025 / No Comments

    Michelle: When I was younger, I loved watching the Summer Olympics. I especially remember watching the 1984 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles, California. There are two reasons that specific Olympics reigns supreme in my memories. The first reason is that my grandparents lived in Los Angeles and they had tickets to many of the track and field events.

But my second reason…
