Maybe you thought Texans were the only ones who were shamelessly, obnoxiously, and cheesily proud of their state. Well, you’d be wrong! Maine-ly unpacking at the moment. More on the Maine event coming soon…
Can’t believe all three of the Krum kiddos are in double digits now – 15, 13, and 10. At our house, when you turn ten, you get to choose any restaurant to eat dinner at alone with mom and dad, and while at dinner you are given a nice new Bible with your name engraved… Read More Double Digits for Kayla! (and Bible woes)
(Those three being the 3 M’s, I’m guessing: Melissa, Melinda, and Megan.) My sister, Melissa, said that the post about getting my cousin’s furniture made her cry, since it was also about our aunt and grandmother. “But I was hoping to see pictures of the NEW furniture,” she added. Yes, pictures would have been a… Read More Furniture & Birthmarks (For the three of you interested…)
Wives, be subject to your own husbands, as to the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife, as Christ also is the head of the church, He Himself being the Savior of the body. But as the church is subject to Christ, so also the wives ought to be to their husbands… Read More This Mystery is Great….
Not just the biblical Ruth and Sarah, but a Ruth and a Sarah that I have known and loved personally – two women who have modeled for me a grace in the midst of trial, flexibility in the midst of change – two things that I’m learning are a big struggle for me. Ruth was… Read More Ruth, Sarah, the Hebrews & Me

Yes, giddy. And it’s been coming on for a while now, I think. Have I ever mentioned THE most amazing food experience I ever had. It was with my sister, Melissa, in New York City. We met there one very cold February for three nights of sisterly and city fun! Previously, she had heard of… Read More Giddy Over Greens: Cilantro – Pineapple Shake
This one sort of feels like a fall dish with its warmth and winter squash, but I couldn’t resist making it after discovering it in the Goat Cheese cookbook I recently fell in love with. And I’m discovering that I really don’t know how to cook without using the oven. It has been so hot… Read More Portabella, Italian Sausage, & Butternut Squash Lasagne
Number 1: Do not go with these people. Oh sure, their names may be Pete and Betsy (sounds harmless enough, right?) and they may be dear friends and 25+ year Campus Crusade Staffers devoted to Christ and ministry, but they also happen to be undercover “Extreme Backpacking Vacation” Operatives. They will casually mention the… Read More Tips to Avoiding a Horrific White Mountain Hike
That’s what Kory kept saying on his 15th birthday (it was the 29th), which is funny, because we’ve always said he was really going on 60. This is the kid who always holds down one or more jobs, completes all schoolwork independently, plays sports diligently, reads WW2 books, and the classifieds and police reports faithfully.… Read More Halfway to 30
