I've recently become aware of a very disturbing exhibit that will soon be opening in a local children's museum, the Canada Science and Technology Museum in Ottawa, Ontario. This exhibit, called Sex: A Tell-All Exhibition, is geared to teens. Anyone age 13 and over can view it without an adult around. Here are a few details from a different [More...]
Prayer Request for Baby with Lung Disease
Baby Ellie needs prayers. She's just turned one, and she was born with a really rare lung disease..so rare that there are only a few hundred documented cases in the world. Her lungs are very delicate, and a simple cold has a high chance of resulting in tissue damage that could ultimately require her to need a lung transplant. And she has a [More...]
Keep Praying for Joel
You might have noticed the button in my sidebar "Praying for Joel." Joel is the 6 year old son of my friend Cheryl from On The Old Path, who was diagnosed with brain cancer when he was 4.

She had surgery last night (she's in Switzerland, so morning for her) to put metal rods [More...]
God’s First Command
I'm really struggling with trusting God with the size of our family. I knew that after Josiah was born I'd have a hard time with this. I had myself all convinced that we can do this, we WOULD do this, and God will take care of us. And yet I still don't feel safe without birth control. I feel like such a hypocrite. I really do want to trust [More...]
Atrial Fibrillation and Another Stroke?
For those who have been praying for my grandpa:I just got another update from my mom. He did well through his surgery to repair his broken hip and was in recovery when he started having atrial fibrillation..which basically means his heart beat was going fast and wonky. So they put him back in ICU and on meds to get that in control. There was one [More...]
