During morning prayer and devotions, we sang We Three Kings. It’s been quite some time, I think, since I have heard this song, let alone sung it, let alone sung it in its entirety. Do you know the song? The final verse reads … Glorious now behold Him arise; King and God and sacrifice; Alleluia, Alleluia, […]
The Minnesota Vanderclan took a quick trip to Indiana this past week. Long trip down, long trip back, and much joy had in the meantime! We opted for a somewhat lighter schedule of events than we have had in past years and are healthier for it. So thankful for the many folks we were able […]
We are set to leave for Indiana in just a couple hours. Excited to be with family for the holidays. Don’t know that I ever posted this video of Aelah from a couple months back … checking up on the cousins. Look forward to seeing you all soon!

Have you stopped lately to consider the untamed power of the Gospel at work in our world? It is real. It is good. He is real. He is good. God gave His only Son, Jesus, that we might know peace on earth. Would you give your child for the cause of reconciliation? We watched this […]
It seems like it has come up on us pretty quick (although, Adrienne may say different). Pip II is almost here. This past week or so kind of has us twiddling our thumbs … just waiting. Adrienne has done a good deal of nesting. Full cupboards of food and clean floors. This baby is sure […]
