Last Sunday was my mom’s birthday. We visited her grave site at Rose Hills in remembrance. What I remember most about my mom was her laughter. She was well-liked by her friends and relatives because she is easy going and laughs easily. I learned from my mom to be patient and kind to people. She […]
I was tagged by Blinkdagger… So here I go with 7 things about me that you don’t know: 1. I didn’t like kids before I had my own and never wanted to help out in the nursery at church. 2. If I was younger, I would have one more baby… 3. I read a romance […]

I picked up this book randomly at the library. I needed some encouragement and some perspective – as Ego says in Ratatouille The Joy of Failure by Wayne Root is light enjoyable reading. He tells lots of illustrative stories, emphasizes good values of putting God and family first, and gives encouragement to never give up. […]
Tom Hsieh is an inspiration to me. How many Gen Xers do you know would choose to deny himself of a big house, nice car, vacations, etc., choose to live on $38,000 and give away the rest of his $200k+ a year salary, choose to live in a lower economic neighborhood to share God’s love? […]
