The Lego Group began in the workshop of Ole Kirk Christiansen (1891–1958), a carpenter from Billund, Denmark, who began making wooden toys in 1932. In 1934, his company came to be called "Lego", derived from the Danish phrase leg godt which means "play well". In 1947, Lego expanded to begin producing plastic toys.

Sometimes it is hard for us to grasp the immensity of God's love for us. It is beyond our limited comprehension. But when we get a taste of it, we can rest in the fact that He is always willing and able to give us more! God says, "Yes, I really mean it. I love … Continue reading Do you really mean it?
Talk about grateful! Ten years ago today I was the prodigal daughter running back into the arms of my Father. On that glorious day, while I was driving, my regular radio station wasn’t on the air. I began flipping through the channels and “happened” upon a contemporary Christian radio station. The song “Lord I’m Ready … Continue reading 10 years later

I tried my very best to rescue this moth. It was stuck inside my office building and kept going up to a big bank of windows just outside my door. It could see the outside, it just couldn't reach it.

I just want to apologize. I normally do a post once a week. But with the bridge closure, I'm trying to navigate my "new normal." When I do drive to and from work, that adds two hours on my day. I've worked out a schedule for my week now on when I'll spend the night … Continue reading Update
