Friday Night Lights & Faithful Steps

Friday night rolled around, and I realized I hadn’t been to a high school football game yet this year. Abigail and I decided it was time! I was so thankful for the golf cart ride from the parking lot to the entrance — small blessings like that mean a lot these days. I ran into a few teachers who cheered me on for being on my crutches instead of the scooter, and it felt so good to see familiar faces. At first, I didn’t even notice that the bleachers didn’t have a ramp, but thankfully there was an elevator! With both of us asking how to use it, we laughed our way up — it moved slow as molasses, but it sure beat trying to crutch up steps with big gaps between them.

We enjoyed the second half of the freshman game as they crushed the competition and then stayed to watch varsity, who were ruling the field. Half time came, and we got to enjoy the band, the cheerleaders, and Sparkles — our all-inclusive cheerleading team. Every student shined so bright!

When the halftime show wrapped up, it was time for me to head home. I’m no party animal, and my leg needed some ice. But on the way out, I couldn’t help but thank the Lord for such a simple, joyful night — the laughter, the community, the chance to get out and be part of something again.

The Lord makes firm the steps of the one who delights in Him; though he may stumble, he will not fall, for the Lord upholds him with His hand. Psalm 37:23–24

Even when my steps are slower, I know He’s the one holding me steady.

Common Mistakes Made When Writing a Will

Writing a will should, by all means, be a simple thing. You want to make sure that your assets are being left to your loved ones and that your final wishes are being fulfilled. Usually, they are rather straightforward, but that doesn’t mean that they are entirely foolproof. Here, we’re going to look at some common issues that can lead to disputes or delays in carrying out your will. Image - CC0 License Not Having It Witnessed Correctly One of the most common mistakes when writing a will is not having it witnessed correctly. Wills generally require the signatures of at least two witnesses who are not beneficiaries or spouses of beneficiaries. If the will is not witnessed in accordance with legal requirements, it may be declared invalid, meaning your estate would be distributed according to intestacy laws, which may not align with your wishes. It’s important to follow the witnessing procedures exactly as outlined in your jurisdiction to ensure the will is legally enforceable. Chan...

A big thank you to Andy who sent me some amazing cookies to try to conduct my review. :) All opinions expressed are 100 % mine and I was not paid for this review. About Sweet Andy's Cookies: The “Thank You” Cookie In 2009, Andrew (Sweet Andy) found himself in a position like so many others at that time in our past; the economy was quickly spiraling downward and he had left his job in the financial services industry. Although Andy had an MBA in Banking and Finance and had even written a book entitled, “A Guide to Taking Control of Your Investments”, he found himself to be disenchanted with the financial industry and left to pursue “other work.” The “other work” that Andrew pursued was with the Church and did not provide financial support for the family. During this time Andy and his wife, Lissa, struggled to find other forms of income. They did what they could for themselves and their five children but often it was not enough. But there were...
