World Autism Awareness Day

Autism is more than a word for us. Autism is more than a diagnosis. Autism in our home describes a way of life, a way of teaching, a way of nurturing, and it helps to describe our siblings. Keith and I each have a sister/brother that have been diagnosed with Autism. They lie on opposite ends of the spectrum, under the same umbrella. A blessing from God in each of our households.

We are each incredibly proud of our siblings and the accomplishments they continue to make in this lifetime. Today, April 2nd, is a day marked for World recognition of Autism. We could not think of a better way to acknowledge our siblings, than on a day of world recognition. From one side of the globe, to the other, we want you to know that we love you deeply and miss you dearly. Even though there are times when it is not said back, when it feels like the walls of Autism are thicker and higher than ever; we know, with one look, the spirit that dwells in your eyes and its screaming, "I love you too!"

Enjoying snow in TEXAS!


The coolest kid I know :)


This post wouldn't be complete if we didn't talk about all the other children in this world who have Autism. The Autism community is large, yet small, and being involved helps you to see the many faces of Autism. The incredibly vibrant spirit that lies within each and every child is a joy. Get involved, provide support to trusted charities, and most importantly support to the families of special needs children. Let this be one of many opportunities to serve our Lord!


One of many dear friends!

John 9:1-3

And as Jesus passed by, he saw a man which was blind from his birth.
And his disciples asked him, saying, Master, who did sin, this man, or his parents, that he was born blind?
Jesus answered, Neither hath this man sinned, nor his parents: but that the works of God should be made manifest in him.
