Showered with Blessings

March 3, 2022 By Karen Witemeyer

It's wedding season in the Witemeyer household. Our first. This past Saturday, we had the joy of watching out children be showered with blessings at their first wedding shower.

Life in pictures

November 16, 2021 By Tamera Alexander

Do you take a lot of pictures? I do. I save a ton of pictures sent to me too. Aren't we grateful we live in a day and age where we have the ability to snap so many precious moments of life for safekeeping? Think about how much more we might have known about the past if our ancestors could have taken pictures of their lives so readily. So here we go... In no certain order, these are … [Read more...]
