To All of Our Well Meaning Friends


Brace yourself. I am about to set up a boundary that I hope you will honor.


  • Please do not call our house and ask us if Mike is going to get laid off.

  • Please do not call and tell us you are worried.

  • Please do not call our house and give us a furrowed brow with disappointed eyes and say you hope everything works out.


There really IS a good chance that he will get laid off

but a better chance that God really is the God that takes care of us.


If you think of us at all, and want to make a difference, pray.

We could use your prayers.

If you have already called with any of these misguided messages,

don't be offended; we don't love you less. I AM speaking to you, but just know that our

faith lies in what God has called us to, and not the news, which

is seriously full of lies.
*this pic is The Man showing his mad baseball skills on the Wii. It makes me happy.

God is who He says He is, and He can do what He says He can do. Have faith, friend.

Everything will work out according to God's will friend.

"sorry for calling yesterday" - I guess this blog is for me. Ugh! Just care for you all.

my furrowed brow and disappointed eyes have only to do with the fact that, from the small picture i had, i thought uncle mike was wearing a tennis headband, a la andre agassi. or will ferrell. but it turns out it's just a dopey santa hat. sigh. whatever.
