my AMAZING family
the smell of freshly baked chocolate chip cookies
taking a stroll thru the park and playing frisbee with the boys
unconditional love
praying supporters
experiencing the variety of different cultures
laughter that makes my gut hurt
friends that stick close to the end
skype and google (communication enhancing technology)
deep conversations
witty humor
Jadyn’s smile
Tyler’s art
Austin’s athleticism
Jenny’s compassion
parents who are committed to their marriages for life
and most of all, for God forever changing me from the inside-out!

I couldn’t be a Muslim even if I wanted to!

Why? Because I can’t grow facial hair…at least not very well. I’ve joked for years that I’m follicly challenged. After doing a search on Google, I’m thinking of joining the following advocacy group: People for the Expansion and Advancement of Comprehensive Hair (P.E.A.C.H.)

So, I’ve been trying to grow a FULL beard and here are some pics after 2+ months…but now I’m at a crossroads.

When discerning God’s will, I know I must first consult the Scriptures.

I received hope from the following passage from Numbers 6:5 “They must never cut their hair throughout the time of their vow, for they are holy and set apart to the Lord. Until the time of their vow has been fulfilled, they must let their hair grow long.”

But, then, I read Ezekiel 44:20 “They must neither shave their heads nor let their hair grow too long. Instead, they must trim it regularly.”

Being even more confused than before, I prayed and ask God to reveal His truth to me. He reminded me of Hebrews 4:12 “God means what he says. What he says goes. His powerful Word is sharp as a surgeon’s scalpel, cutting through everything.”

That is to say, everything but hair. So, obviously, God is neutral on the subject.

Therefore, I’m leaving it up to you. I need your discernment…

Exercise in Futility?

Cut my losses and stop the bleeding? (yes, both awful puns were intended…I blame Von and Matt)

Persevere and Fight the Good Fight!
