You Can Make the Change
I Chronicles 20 picks up in the middle of a big long recap of the history of Israel as a nation. There are lots of genealogical records and recounting of stories already told in 1 and 2 Samuel and 1 and 2 Kings, but there are also some new details, fresh perspectives,...
Her Disability, My Disability
Spina Bifida is an oddity. It affects those that have it in different ways. When we first consulted with a neurologist upon finding out that our sixth child had this malady, he prepared us for the full gamut of possibilities that could affect our baby. She could be...
How to Get Your Child To Swallow Their Medicine
First of all, let me make sure that we are clear on the fact that I do not endorse forcing children to take unnecessary medications. Medicine should be dispensed judiciously. That said, there are situations when your child has to take an oral medication. This...
Hello, Hi, Howdy, Hey…
There are so many forms of communication that sometimes we can get lost in translation. Even just a simple "hello" can be said in numerous different ways, and will change depending upon where you live and the customs to where you live. And what about goodbye?! Again,...

By the grace of God…
We have been reading through James this month in our home fellowship. I’ve always liked the first chapter of James… reminding us to “consider it pure joy” to face trials. Let me tell you, with six children, it feels like I am constantly facing trials. And James gives...
The Girl in the Pink Coat
Even in the midst of the struggles we face in the West, specifically those to do with disability and medical challenges, we still have so much to be thankful for. I hope these thoughts will be an encouragement to you -- inspiring thankfulness for where you are, and...
The Fingerprint
It's funny to me how a small moment in your life can change it so completely. The interesting part is that I cant even remember the day or month that it happened. But it happened and today I am a different person because of it. It was a Sunday morning and I was...
Under Construction
If our site starts to morph and change, or should it not have the correct name or tabs, please excuse the mess. We will be working on changing our look for the remainder of the week.
Jesus Wasn’t At Our House This Christmas
Jesus wasn't at our house this Christmas. *** Baby Jesus the figurine, that is. *** I have to admit I was rather disappointed. I've never forgone the manger scene before. It's one of those things that I feel like I need to have out, to be able to celebrate...
Don’t Marry Your God OR Divorce Rate Among Special Needs Families

MACE/Mitrofanoff Posts
I will be journaling our experience with the MACE/Mitrofanoff procedure over on the Lifestyle Accelerator site. People with spina bifida or spinal cord injury often have these two procedures to help with continence. If you are considering surgery, come see what our...
As Long as It’s Healthy!
I have several friends who are pregnant right now. I remember being pregnant. It was both enjoyable and loathsome at the same time. But then again, I had terrible morning (all day) sickness. That was actually the only loathsome part. Overall, it was pretty fun. ...
