Hidden Treasure    Connie’s blog

I am the daughter of a carpenter. When I was a kid, I loved hanging out with my Dad. I’d go to job sights with Him every chance I got.  I would scour the floors for mystery objects like nails, bolts, washers, and pipe fittings.  To this day I love the smell of sawdust.  It’s...

The gifts are on their way and I’m so excited about them! It might be the cutest gift we’ve ever given at an Our Time event – which is a stretch, because we have had a lot of super cute things over the years. The Our Time Texas Beach Party is coming up and I...

As temporary residents of planet earth, most of us realize the importance of being good stewards of what we will eventually pass on to future generations. So we make healthy choices, like reducing the things we waste, like recycling, like reusing items we would’ve...

The Trapeze   06-02-10  Connie’s blog

“She floats through the air with the greatest of ease, the daring young girl on the flying trapeze…” I grew up knowing the tune of that little song my whole life. The pop singer Pink has been performing her music from high in the air while doing a trapeze act for a while now. When...
