Getting to see LOTS of precious new babies and their proud and happy parents in the hospital!This week we even got to visit the Neonatal ICU where our two newest church members are hanging out until they gain a little weight. : ) Above is Robert’s hand compared to Baby E’s hand….so tiny! I got… Read More Pastor’s Wife Perks…
Kayla’s recent choir concert – such a special director and overall music experience! …our life, that is. I have always been fascinated with the word picture of the “cup” in the Bible. I have even been known to go searching for antique (or new) teacups to give girls on the last day of a Bible… Read More A Cup Full and Brimming Over…
I use a question mark, because if you set your hopes on spring too early around here, you are SURE to be disappointed. (If I see any more bluebonnet photos on Facebook, I may die of jealousy!) I try to lower my expectations to at least mid-May, and even then shorts and sandals may be… Read More Goodbye Winter!?! (Hello Easter, Baseball, and Iced Coffee)
Being a pastor’s wife affords one many opportunities to develop skills in multiple trades. (Actually, being a mom does this too, so imagine the possibilities for my own personal development throughout the years!)

…on a beautifully clear and sunny day, with the bluest sky I have ever seen, the Krum family drove across the New York border into Massachusetts after a two week trek from Oklahoma. They came to plant a church! And so today we celebrate the faithfulness and provision of the Lord in our church, the… Read More 10 years ago today….
(I think alliteration may be the height of my creativity. And to think, I participated in UIL Journalism Headline Writing in high school!)A highlight of every semester at our church is baptism day. In the spring, we use a local pond which is such a wonderful location, but extremely cold! Everyone getting baptized writes out… Read More Salvation and Swine Flu
We had great Easter weekend beginning on Friday with Cross Walk – which is what you see a photo of below – and a Good Friday evening service. Saturday was full of egg dyeing and baseball practice. The kids still love to dye eggs, and they would have done many more than the 40 I… Read More Easter
