Being in Idaho I have been doing more indoor cycling at home. I bought a Wahoo Kickr to attach one of my bikes to and use it when I can’t, or won’t, go outside to bike ride. This is usually do to weather in some way – smoke, ice, rain, snow, too dark. The Wahoo…

Where I plan to ramble on things
Missionary Support from Churches
My family supports a number of missionaries financially. We have done this or many years. We think it is an important role for people to have in the work of the Gospel message. For a lot of missionaries they only get paid based on the financial support that they raise. This involves a lot of…
Try Out a New Church – part 3 – Non-Denominational (by myself)
This last Sunday I went to another new church here in the area. I was on my own because the rest of my family was at a Girl Scout Winter camp in another city. “B” and I thought it would be a good idea for me to try out another church on our list. This…
Another Year!
I made it through another year of blogging. As I stated last year I was hopeful to make it through another year. I have enjoyed writing this year. I wrote a lot about us moving because that was a big thing. I had my biggest read day with my “Big Changes” blog. I had over…
Christmas Music

Try Out a New Church – part 2 – Wealth and Health
Well we tried another church this past Sunday. Online it looked quite a bit more modern than the one we attended last week. There was hope that it meant it would be a bit more modern in its thinking/preaching/attitude than the last one as well. Well, it was certainly different in a ways. It was…
Trying Out a New Church – part 1 – What to Wear and What Bible to Read
I mentioned a few weeks ago about how the church our family was attending in Idaho went pretty political from the pulpit right before the election. That rubbed “B” and I poorly and so we decided during the Thanksgiving break to take start taking a look at other churches in the area. So, I spent…
It has been a week of newness
So this week we were back in Idaho after our week in AZ for Thanksgiving. And this week has brought the cold and new experiences. This is what outside while driving has been like all week in the morning and afternoon/evening: So ice on the windscreen, but also fog. I have never experienced so much…
Time Back in AZ
This last week we ventured down to AZ to visit friends and family for the Thanksgiving holiday. The kids and I all had the week off from school (that is when they do fall break), and B was able to remote work Monday and Tuesday. We chose to drive down because of 2 reasons –…
