Asian Chicken Lettuce Wraps
Back in October, when we were down in Costa Mesa for Pastor Chuck Smith's memorial, we ran into a friend who had moved from Washington back to southern California. I almost didn't recognize Ken, because he had lost 70 lbs since we'd seen him last, which really hadn't been that long. Ken shared his secret: the 4-Hour Body Diet.

Tuesday morning during Joyful Life, I got to hold Levi (the middle son) for a good half-hour in the nursery as we read the same book five times (his idea), sang songs ... continue reading...
Lovely Monday

Today, we're keeping an eye on the wood stove. Dave watches from the couch where, at 10:18, he sits still clad in his black and gray plaid robe.
