I’m not sure I knew this but a step-family is called a blended family. Funny thing is I thought a blended family would be akin to a mixed-race family – a blending of races.

Philippians
My role!
Linda and I celebrated 34 years of marriage on Saturday.

I can’t let my guard down!
I set my own standard high when it comes to how I act, what I say, where I go, and what I do.

And like many other small Texas towns, God, church, and family are an important part of daily life. Continue reading
