I feel like Faith-Now and Forever was written for me. This quote sums it all up:
“Real faith isn’t contingent on results. You don’t strengthen your faith by the events around you; you strengthen your faith through trusting Me despite the events around you. You strengthen your faith by belief in Me and taking Me at [...]

Someone drove by with their sub-woofer and I managed to capture Kyle busting out his moves to the beat. I was going to tell him he’d look so much cooler with his tongue in his mouth, but I didn’t want to break his rhythm.

Jer and I did another hike last Sunday to prepare for Half Dome. This time we tackled Mt. Woodson overlooking Lake Poway. It was far more of a challenge than Mt. Ironwood was, 2000 ft instead of 1000, so we actually felt justified with our backpacks and loads of water.

I’m happy to announce that my little sister, Jenna, now has her own blog. With #2 on the way, I finally convinced her to start one so I’d have an easier time keeping up with my nieces.

Apparently in India, if you want your baby to grow up strong it helps to throw them off a 50 foot shrine. If you don’t believe me, watch this. And they claim they’ve had no accidents.
