Dad taking the youngest into the sand castle! While visiting South Padre Island for a quick vacation we were able to spend some time at the Schlitterbahn Outdoor Waterpark !  Schlitterbahn is a resort that includes unique lodging and activities that are fun for both kids and adults. Not only do they have an outdoor waterpark but an indoor waterpark if you are traveling to the area off season. We were planning on visiting both parks but halfway through the day there was thunder and lightening which continued for the remainder of the day and they do not issue rain checks. We were content with the four hours we spent at the outdoor park and felt we had a full and exciting experience but it is something to keep in mind when planning a visit to Schlitterbahn. If you want to make the most of it, be sure to check the weather forecast before you go. If you check their website, it also has a link to the upcoming weather conditions.    Our youngest tryi...

Moon landing doubters beware!   APOLLO 11  will be celebrating 50 years this year and never seen before footage has been released  in an extraordinary Sundance Film Festival documentary NOW playing in theaters everywhere!   From director, Todd Douglas Miller (Dinosaur 13) comes a cinematic event fifty years in the making. Crafted from a newly discovered trove of 65mm footage, and more than 11,000 hours of uncatalogued audio recordings, Apollo 11 takes us straight to the heart of NASA’s most celebrated mission.   The one that first put men on the moon, and forever made Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin into household names. Immersed in the perspectives of the astronauts, the team in Mission Control, and the millions of spectators on the ground, we vividly experience those momentous days and hours in 1969 when humankind took a giant leap into the future. What makes this documentary so fascinating is that REAL footage is used. ...

Central Diamond Center has become a place where I have been frequenting lately for my jewelry needs. After receiving a gorgeous ring that includes the birthstones of all my children, I have not been disappointed with the quality of their work. Just recently, I needed  a new ring. Yes, I said needed. I hate to admit it but since I said the words, "I do" I have gained not only five children, but, fifty pounds as well. Which is fine, I was skinny as a rail when I got married but still, nobody likes to admit weight gain. They don't like to talk about the complications that go with it either. Such as rings not fitting quite like they used to. Sure, I have still been wearing the ring he placed on my finger so many years ago but I have been fearing I would never get it off. Therefore, I decided to go ahead and get a temporary ring in the meantime. Maybe looking at this ring will motivate me to use those pilates videos I have sitting three feet away from me right now.  ...

As a Christian Ministries major in college, I was exposed to many types of ministries out there. One of the most memorable and powerful experience was the time we helped out with a prison ministry. This was a tue eye-opener for me. At the time I felt like I couldn't relate to anyone in there was to be honest, I was a bit scared before we went. Once we were there and able to share with the prisoners I was changed. The only difference between them and me were a few wrong choices. Haven't we all made wrong choices at one point or another in our lives? After that experience I began to have more compassion for those in prison. For years, Jonathan has been in prison. As a result, he has missed milestone moments with his family. He wasn’t there for his daughter’s first day of school or a thousand little experiences with his wife and as a father, he is devastated to be separated from those he loves most. ‍ Jonathan has been looking forward to his release from prison for over ...
