The Honor Project

“…in humility count others more significant than yourselves. Let each of you look not only to his own interests, but also to the interests of others.” Philippians 2:3-4

There are "friends" who destroy each other, but a real friend sticks closer than a brother. Proverbs 18:24


I can't believe I did this last week but I did.  I 'blew up' at a neighbor kid.  

Becoming 'Stories' in the Minds of Children.

What the next generation will value most is not what we owned, but the evidence of who we were and the tales of how we loved. In the end, it's the family stories that are worth the storage. -Ellen Goodman


I have started a new hobby.... actually an old one, quite ancient,in fact.  Genealogy.  I thought it would be fun to uncover the fruits and flowers of my children's ancestors.

Welcome to the Neglected Garden

This is all about discovery of the unknown and of things forgotten or neglected.  It's the treasures uncovered after being overlooked and set aside.  It's the road not taken.  It's about perception.

Here you will uncover books to lose yourself in, rediscover the simple pleasures in family, nature and life.  Also, exploration of faith.  And learn a bit about organics and health.  You will also learn that you can create a garden no matter how brown your thumb may seem.

Like any true forgotten or neglected garden, it's not all about the withered and dead but it's the unexpected surprises that emerge.  The discovery of the resiliency of life and faith.

Join me and my family on our journey through our forgotten/neglected garden.  Perhaps it will inspire you to embark on your own journey through your forgotten/neglected garden and discover some of your own amazing and beautiful treasures.
