This weekend… Bring on SPRING! (Even if the weather doesn’t cooperate…)

I’m ready for spring, but waking this morning to see daffodils poking through a mound of hail and snow Wednesday night’s storm left  behind just did not seem right to me…  It was a rude reminder that the calendar might technically say it’s SPRING, but mother nature still is behind the wheel!  Regardless, I’m thinking the [...]

The rest of the story … The legend of “Falling Rock”

Thanks to a quick e-mail from my dear Uncle, Big Chief Art, who originally told the story of Falling Rock to my father, I now present to you…. the rest of the story.

I think it goes something like this:

Many years ago the chief of a powerful Indian tribe that dwelled high in the mountains had [...]

The Vengeance of “Falling Rock”

As a kid during car-trip family vacations, my dad used to tell us a fantastic story about a young Indian brave named “Falling Rock” who disappeared while on an expedition (I wish I could remember the story…I’ll have to ask him…siblings, chime in here if you remember how the story went…).  If memory serves correct, [...]

What on earth is there to do in Boise??

One of the great things about WordPress blogs is that the program, among other things, let’s to you see various search terms people input that ultimately lead them to your blog.  I like to look at these occasionally (okay, so maybe a little more than “occasionally”….maybe occasionally throughout the day) because to me this entire process [...]

Let’s Roll!

I was thinking today about Todd Beamer - you know the guy on the United flight that was crashed by terrorists on 9/11 who’s famous last audible words were “Let’s Roll!”  I was musing about those words and the Easter story today and the thought occurred to me, that I could really imagine Jesus saying [...]

Celebrating Easter as a family

 I always like to find new and fun ways to teach my kids about our family’s faith - especially on important holidays such as Christmas and Easter.  It just seems to me that with all the commercialism it’s far to easy for kids to think Easter is just about candy, bunnies and springtime.  One thing I [...]

Easter Sunrise Services

I’m not much of a morning person.  I wish I was, but by nature, I’m a night owl.  One of these years I WILL go to an Easter sunrise service…maybe when Easter falls a little later in the year when morning temps aren’t so chilly!  But, if you are interested in finding an Easter Sunrise [...]

Easter Weekend in Boise

He is Risen! 
He is risen, INDEED!
Easter is arguably the most important holiday in the Christian church because without it, there would be no hope of a Savior! I hope you’ll find your way to a church this weekend - even if you have never been and are just curious about what the Christian faith is [...]
