Soul Surfer – Meet Her For Real

I had the amazing pleasure of meeting Bethany Hamilton and her mom Cheri during their recent visit to FamilyLife. What a joy they both were - this is a mom and daughter who are truly connected. Soul Surfer, the movie about Bethany's life and the life altering encounter she had with a shark is being released April 9th.  The shark attack is probably going to be the draw for many movie goers...but they will gain so much more as they see her life … [Read more...]

Washington Post “Gets It” Right

If you are one of those people who still think divorce is a viable option when you are having "issues" and "trouble" in your marriage...allow me to point you to a very revealing article in today's Washington Post.

Me declaring I want to play Kinect and my teens and parents joining in – that was a site to behold! My father down at the corral gently petting our horses Honey and Dot…knowing that he … [Read more...]

Epic Fail, Spring Break, Six Flags

We lived in the great state of Texas for just over five years...and we loved it! One of the things we had always wanted to do while living there was spend a day at Six Flags Over Texas Amusement Park. Well, somehow that never happened. So, that's been on our family "bucket list" for a long while. We knew one of these days we would manage to make that happen...but time is slipping away as our daughter is a Senior in High School. Well, hubby … [Read more...]

Pet or Family Member?

Allow me to begin by saying I am not writing this to rile anyone up...or to start a "don't diss my dog war" I am writing it to educate and pose a valid question. You see I have long been someone who enjoys animals, but think that some people (including some of my own family members) go too far by treating them like humans. My mom does not care for pets in the home and just doesn't get it when others are so into their pets. My daughter is drawn … [Read more...]
