We had the coolest experience today. I don’t know if you realize this, but God shops at TARGET! I know, because He met us in the checkout line this afternoon. It was one of those typical Saturdays…dance classes, haircuts, errands, housework. All the exciting stuff that grown-up people get to spend their weekends doing. And… Continue reading I Found God…at Target

Slain by Giants
I do believe pigs have flown. Hell has frozen over. And, unfortunately for the Rangers, the fat lady has sung her final notes. For you see, for the first time in franchise history, the Rangers have made it to the WORLD SERIES! And in a proud moment for the Edwards family, I was the first… Continue reading Slain by Giants
Tricks and Treats
Halloween is a very unusual night. You never know who you’ll meet roaming the dark streets and lurking around the pond. It might be a treat, for you may find along your path a beautiful princess: graceful and demure in all she does… Or perhaps you’ll come face-to-face with an all star slugger… ready to… Continue reading Tricks and Treats

The Nutcracker “Sweets”
Tonight was the fulfillment of a dream come true for Crisana, apparently. It was the annual downtown McKinney Christmas Parade – the “Parade of Lights” – and her Daisy Girl Scout Troop had chosen to participate. Our theme was “The Nutcracker”, so some girls dressed as mice and some as nutcrackers. And Crisana? Of course,… Continue reading The Nutcracker “Sweets”
Resting
It’s the end of my very first week working full-time, and I gotta tell you, I’m tired! I’m not used to waking up earlier than my children on a regular basis. I’m not used to having to cook breakfast and make four lunches and feed both pets and get showered and dressed and out the… Continue reading Resting
Rock of Ages
This week is a fulfillment of a dream made reality. You may remember a previous post alluding to this week, but for various reasons I had to keep things under wraps. Now that it’s here, I can spill the beans. It’s time once again for the McKinney Fellowship Preschool Worship and Arts Camp.  This year’s… Continue reading Rock of Ages
What’s so “good” about Good Friday?
I’ve been a Christian a long time. I made the decision to accept God’s gift of salvation when I was five years old. I was raised in a Christian home with Christian parents who worked at a Christian school and were very involved in our local church and made our faith a huge priority in… Continue reading What’s so “good” about Good Friday?
Threads of Gratitude: Hospital Gown edition
Okay, so no one’s in the hospital. And hopefully, HOPEFULLY, this week will be our last time to make that trek, too! Matt had his final scheduled treatment on Monday. That means he’s home this week and has been puttering around the house, doing important things like catching up on tv shows, getting in his… Continue reading Threads of Gratitude: Hospital Gown edition
