Life take interesting turns. As Bugs says, "it's very interesting." Last summer, TJ's heart tests weren't great. The docs said his ejection fraction (EJ) dangerously low. A defibrillator placement was suggested. The defibrillator would shock his heart back to work in the event of a new heart attack, giving us time to call emergency services… Continue reading Follow God’s Rainbow

Climb Every Mountain!
We have moments in our lives where things seem very dark. We also have those other moments in our lives where things seem exceptionally bright. Today is a bright day for me--a transition day!

I Love Christmas
Nine years ago, my son Thomas and I took Simone and Nasif up north to the snow. She was 19 and he was 8 years old. We found the best place to play, sled, and freeze. If you're from AZ, you know just what I mean. This year, with Simone 28, Nasif 17, and the… Continue reading I Love Christmas
I Don’t Care What You Say Anymore
I love football. This has only a little to do with my testimony, but it has to be said. Although TJ can’t understand this, or see it, football is a game of life. You could compare it to good and evil fighting against one another, but on a field. There are a lot of rules… Continue reading I Don’t Care What You Say Anymore
They Heard the Breeze in the Trees
Hi, everyone! I usually begin my blogs with a song title. Did anyone notice? My dad, Jay Ajamie, used to sing a lot of the songs I use [for titles] to my sister, Susan Wingate and me when we were kiddos. You can see Susan's books if you click on her page. All that being… Continue reading They Heard the Breeze in the Trees
I Can Only Imagine
I want to talk about Bill Chesbro. Bill and his wife, Betty have been friends of ours for about fifteen years. Bill was in the military/a veteran! They were Christian missionaries to Asia.

Hold My Beer
TJ and Elizabeth began writing a murder mystery this week. This is a true collaboration with both authors writing into the manuscript. Afterwards, they arm wrestle to see what stays and what goes. Elizabeth's friend, Barb suggested they be careful or they may end up writing a true crime story. Ha! To this, Elizabeth said,… Continue reading Hold My Beer
Memorial Day and Why We Care
For my family, Memorial Day has special meaning. The meaning has to do with generations of our men joining the service, and some of them going away to war. If your family was never involved or related to anyone who served this way, I can understand your confusion. My father, James Ajamie, and my uncles,… Continue reading Memorial Day and Why We Care

The basic premise of the article was as Christians, we shouldn’t be… Continue reading Repost: Why Not Me?
