TKC!

I've already been home a week and I've failed to tell you all about the exciting/dangerous/humorous journey I went through to get here!  So sit back, relax, and enjoy a simple tale of how an Americana got from Saltillo to Memphis :).

First of all, the night before I left was a very special night with the girls.  We made each of them ( Read more... )

Thy Kingdom Come!

Almost one year ago, six individuals embarked on what would become one of the most life changing experiences of our lives. It was the be a year of joys and sorrows, frustrations and accomplishments… but most importantly it was a year in which each of us accepted the call to step out of ourselves, trust Christ, and begin one of the ( Read more... )

I don't think I'm going to able to go to sleep tonight... in fact, I'm almost certain that my sleep cycle is going to be pretty much "off" until next week when I'm back home.  Even then, I can't be sure.

I'm leaving in about 5 days.  5 days!  That being said, this weekend is going to be full of procrastination, packing, and a serious need for a ( Read more... )

inquieto- (IN-KEE-EH-TOH)-restless, worried

I think I started noticing it around this time last week.  The hyper behavior during homework time, the getting into trouble when the Madre's not looking, and of course, the flat out rebelious behavior during bedtime.  All of these things mixed in with the "regular" issues of bad attitudes and ( Read more... )

I'd like to start this little entry by officially stating that Deacon Chip Jones is pretty much the most awesome Padre ever.  Not only is my Dad one of the tallest people I know (at a striking 6'9) but he has been constantly faithful to his vocation has a Father, Husband and Deacon.   I hope you had a good Padre's Day, Daddy.  Sorry I couldn't ( Read more... )

Summer is definitely here and as each day gets hotter I continue to give thanks for things like my fan and water.  It feels like it is in the 100s today. You know it is hot when your frozen water bottle has melted in 2 minutes.

I haven`t been able to sleep lately.  I hate to begin an entry on such a boring note, but that seems to be the only ( Read more... )

Internet rapture has struck again!  Haha.. it`s ok though.  I think the router just needs to be reset or something.  We had a CRAZY thunderstorm last night and I think that might have had something to do with it.  As much as I hate doing the pay for internet thing, it is always good to really appreciate it when you`ve got to walk a mile to ( Read more... )

Before I start my run around the park, I always say a quick prayer that goes something like this:

Thank you Jesus for this day, the wonderful things you've brought us.  Thank you for my friends, my family, my health... Thank you that I can run.  Thank you for the healing that has taken place over the past 6 years.  Please help me to do the best ( Read more... )

Well it looks as though "internet rapture" has ended and it has made its grand return once again.  Not sure how long it will stay around this time, but I'm thankful to have it back now.  Makes things a little easier and also keeps me up past my bedtime.  Muy bien :).

So tomorrow morning we're going to Monterrey with the kids from our Casa and a ( Read more... )

This is going to be another one of those really fast, scattered brained entries.  We have entered into what I will affectionately refer to as "Internet Rapture¨.  One day it is there...the next it is GONE.  Frustrating... and I have a feeling we probably won´t get it back before it is time to leave.  But that is ok.  We´ve spent the majority of ( Read more... )
