July passed just as quickly as June in the Dummel household. I'm actually excited for summer to end, although that sounds like heresy as I read it back. Summer in Indiana is sacred; we soak up the few warm months before the long cold season comes. I thought that staying home 6 out of 7 … Continue reading Goals for August 2015

The Weekend Wave: August 2
Do the wave! God continually brings incredible people into my life. I am so thankful. Our friends Joel and Melissa announced they are expecting TWINS this week!

It just goes to show that you never know how … Continue reading The Weekend Wave: August 2

The Weekend Wave
Have you ever been to a sporting event where the crowd does "The Wave"? It starts at one end of the stadium or arena. Fans stand up and raise their hands and then sit back down.

Please Judge Me: Love and Tolerance Cannot Coexist
I've been mulling over this post for months. I've been arguing with myself. Is this the kind of post I want to write? Is this a message I want to come from my blog? Don't I want this to be an upbeat, encouraging place? Conviction runs strong, though. Although I'm not a confrontational person, I … Continue reading Please Judge Me: Love and Tolerance Cannot Coexist
An Invitation to Be Real
I recently started reading Donald Miller's new book, Scary Close. In a way, I'm a Donald Miller fangirl, at least as much as an introverted, down-to-earth momma would be. I mean, it's not like that screaming, crying, wearing a t-shirt with his face on it kind of fandom. More like the kind of excitement you feel when you've … Continue reading An Invitation to Be Real

Dustin and I have been married for seven years. They say the first seven years are the hardest. I hope that's true. They were really hard for us. Maybe it was because we were young and naive. Maybe it was because we were getting to know each other. Maybe it was because we were selfish … Continue reading What Saves a Marriage?
