Even in the midst of extreme anxiety you can call on the Name of the Lord and He is there.  Nothing is beyond His reach, and every little detail is important to Him. Here we were, back from our trip to Seattle where we took Jeffrey to his special camp (Oops – Got To Head … More My First Flip-Out In Oregon

As I’ve been blabbing along in my blog-posts, I’ve all of a sudden realized that I’ve totally forgotten to write about a huge blessing for our son Jeffrey (as well as mom and dad). I’ve written before about how hard it was to find events that Jeffrey could participate it – I mean really participate … More Oops – Got To Head Back Real Quick!

Funny how when you look at pictures of an area, you get a preconceived idea of just what the whole region will look like.  Online you see pictures of homes that are in your price range with a nice piece of property – perhaps even having a little stream running right through your backyard.  Ah… … More Finally…

OK – a new adventure awaited the Kennedy family:  We were moving to a completely different state (Pulling Up Tent Stakes)! This move had actually been a long time coming, and if I hadn’t been such a selfish brat about not wanting to move because of my comfortableness with having my family close by, as … More Becoming “Small-Towners” (Almost)

Have many of you actually camped in a real tent?  Now I know if you’re like my husband, your chosen tent is a Holiday Inn, but I’m not talking about that!  I’m talking about an actual canvas shelter that’s usually assembled by first driving stakes into the ground. I’d written previously about how when I … More Pulling Up Tent Stakes

It was February 2004, and Mel Gibson had just released his movie entitled The Passion of the Christ.  Did you see it?  Did you want to? I really didn’t want to go see it.  Why?  Because even though I knew that Jesus suffered and died a brutal death on the cross for me (and you), … More Having “The Passion Of The Christ”

One of the attributes I grew up with (and still struggle with now – occasionally), is that I’m a finagler.  By that I mean a schemer.  I would try and figure out how I could manipulate a situation to turn it to my advantage.  No, I didn’t want to really hurt anyone, I just wanted … More Jeffrey’s Most Awesome Decision – Ever!

I’ve had many moments in my life where I’ve been waaaaayyyy too judgmental – particularly about people and their individual walks of faith.  The Lord’s been patient with me, but let me tell you that some days the grinding of His sandpaper has really hurt! When Gary and I decided to start attending church we … More Singing & Dancing for Jesus

Hahahahahaha – sometimes the Lord just cracks me up!  I can almost see Him up there shaking His head lovingly at me saying something like, Not yet, Linda, not yet; but don’t worry – just trust Me and watch how I’m going to work this out! But … but … but … Well, let’s face … More God’s Timing – Not Mine!

Many years ago the Christian group DC Talk had a song entitled Jesus Freak.  Well you know what?  Some might call me a Jesus freak too, and I’m totally okay with it!  Because of Jesus, my life has changed drastically – and I’m giddy with excitement! Quite frankly, one of my favorite things to do … More Me Me Me – Or – Him Him Him?
