We believe in one God, the Father, the Almighty, maker of heaven and earth, and all that is seen and unseen. When I stand under the night sky in Montana, I can see thousands of stars. The stripe of the Milky Way makes an arc over my head, and shooting stars go off like fireworks. But for every star I can see, there are infinitely more up there, beyond the…
Being diagnosed with celiac disease was a huge bummer for me. But it was also a huge relief. I finally had a reason for my pain, and a plan for how to feel better. Many people are not that lucky. I have had so many friends go through years of testing and misdiagnosis with no concrete explanations for what is making them sick. So many people who are at the…
For the first time in a long time, I have been consistently working out for an extended period of time. I am gaining strength, flexibility, and energy.

With a new baseball season…

For others, fatigue follows them around for days, making it hard to work. The thing is, there are over 300 symptoms of celiac disease, and it hits us all differently. For me, gluten goes straight for my brain. I’m having a hard time typing this right now as…
Maybe it’s the thought of warm weather as our family prepares to head to Arizona for Spring Training, or maybe it’s the fact that I haven’t started packing yet and needed another excuse to procrastinate, but yesterday I decided that I MUST have Mexican Street Corn NOW.
