Yesterday George, Jacob, and I drove to Dallas with plans to have dinner with my parents, my sister Lois, and Luke & Sarah. We told them to expect us around 6:00, but we left home early enough to get into town by 4:00, allowing time for a visit with Tyler and Tiffany Martin and their […]

Confession: I know stealing is one of the big ten, but I couldn’t help myself. I stole this picture from Jubilee’s website. Everything about it makes love darts explode out of my heart like fireworks on the Fourth of July. (And not those wimpy back yard snap-crackle-poppers, either. I mean the really, really, ridiculously good

If you read the title of this post and thought, “Well, that’s Greek to me,” guess what? You were right! It is Greek. Literally it means “at the wedding chamber.” It’s also the title of the song Luke wrote and sang as Sarah processed down the aisle to become his bride last Friday evening. I

If you know Luke, you’ll understand why I’ve always given special consideration to my prayers for his future wife. I knew she was going to have to be a “special” lady. Luke was born laid back, easy going, optimistic. He’s a poet, a dreamer, a philosopher. He was the little kid in the outfield, examining

No, this is not a post about margarine. (Sorry, Graham.) That would be oleo. As all crossword puzzle lovers know, an olio is a hodgepodge, miscellany, medley or potpourri. I’ve been so lax in my blog habits, a slew of stories have been stewing in my head, and it’s high time I dish ’em out.
