Time for a Trim.

trim

By Steph Fink I know it’s time for a hair cut about two weeks after I trim my bangs.  When my bangs block my vision, I take matters into my own hands, and trim away.  My hair stylist, Vince notices and really enjoys, um I mean, endures this about me. Recently I heard words flow [...]

Remember the Resurrection.

cross

By Steph Fink Jesus’ resurrection still amazes me.  As I read through the resurrection story found in the twenty fourth chapter of Luke, what amazes me most is the doubt and unbelief of those that were closest to Jesus.  I mean they saw Jesus heal the sick, feed the poor, turn water into wine.  They [...]

Cast and Catch

fishing pole

By Steph Fink I woke that particular morning with a Pokemon stuffed animal wedged under my left shoulder and my cute seven year old, Cal, glued to my left hip.  We slept in a “T” formation. A few hours prior, Cal had slid into my bed with his Pokemon companion, freaked out by his scary [...]

gossip

By Steph Fink Over Thanksgiving weekend, I woke to a gentle tap on my bedroom door and my father said, “Steph, I think I need your help.” It was 6am.  Sensing the urgency, I sprung from bed to check on my Dad. “Pop, sit down and let me see.” It was clear that my father [...]

“Hi. I like pie.”

pie

By Steph Fink Without my knowledge my son, Jake, updated my Facebook status to, “Hi. I like pie.” (Very funny Jake…) Well, it’s true.  I do like pie.  Boston cream, chocolate, apple, key lime, pumpkin are just a sampling of the ones I most dig (into)! One thing I do not dig is when my [...]

Change In 2012

change ahead

2012 Begins in our home with one little word  “Change”. Each year I choose  one little word to keep myself , my goals, my family and whatever God calls me to do that year in focus. This year I began with the word opportunity. Thinking it would be the year to discover the opportunities God [...]

Baby O’ Babies…Where Art Thou?

Pg test

By Steph Fink I knew I wanted to be a mother for as long as I can remember. With the news of being pregnant with our first baby, I just about lost my mind with joy.  I told anyone who wanted to know…and even some who didn’t. Just a few short weeks later, my baby [...]

By Steph Fink “Sharks are to blood like Mom is to coffee,” my older son relayed to my younger son. Now that’s some classic material…let me write that down.  Not wanting to forget to share this rich nugget with my husband at dinner that night, I wrote Jake’s sentence on my notepad that my friend, [...]
