I know this isn’t the Battlefield of the Mind study for today. I’ll have to post it Sunday evening. I’m leaving town early in the morning, so I want to write that post when I have a little more time.
But I did want to share this picture from last Friday night at about 3 a.m. Evan and Todd had gotten home from California, but Todd and I were going to be leaving again in the morning for King’s Island with the church and Todd wouldn’t be coming home again for another week (mission trip with the senior high this week in Indianapolis). We woke Olivia up so I could get a picture of all the kids at home! Erich had to go back to Nashville last Sunday, so this was the only “time” that all four kids were home together.
I just wanted to share a picture of Erich, Evan, Todd, and Olivia….
Erich gets married September 18th! He loves being a nurse.
Evan had a great internship in California. He starts his senior year at Morehead State in a few weeks and will be doing his second internship with my friend’s physical therapy business.
Todd is having a great mission trip and starts his senior year of high school next week!
Olivia is back into daily basketball practices and is enjoying her last few days of summer. It has gone by too quickly!
I’ll write again Sunday and we’ll look at the question,
“When is my mind normal?”
Shew! I’m thinking, “Not very often for me!” 🙂
Love you all,


In December of 2007 as our youngest son, Nick, was fighting brain cancer, I began to blog. Writing provided a way for me to release all of my questions, fears, and doubts. It also allowed me to share the ups and downs of Nick's journey with people who were praying for him all over the world. When Nick went Home in November of 2008, my blog became my way of searching for God in the midst of my deep heartache. My heart was broken and grief brought to the surface every emotion imaginable. Being able to release those emotions through my writing brought a sense of purpose to my pain. Having already walked the road of grief in 1992 when we lost our daughter to SIDS, I knew I needed a way to keep from falling into a pit of depression and despair. I had walked close to the edge of a bottomless pit when we lost our daughter,and I knew I couldn't let myself get that close to the edge again. This blog has been and continues to be my tiny corner of the world where I can share My Heart as I journey through God's Word.......thus the name........ My Heart His Words. Thank you for taking time to share life with me. If we do not meet while here on earth, I look forward to hearing all about your life when we reach our final destiny.........Heaven! Email me anytime at 

Love this! And Olivia’s room is so cozy! 😉
Who gets to define “normal”?
