A Sacred Place?
Nov 2 2024
A Sacred Place?
Is this place sacred? When the student asked us that question, he said he was pretty sure he already knew the answer, but wanted to see how we answered. From the moment they walked into our home, they felt the warmth and safeness of this space. Our life, our family, this podcast, and any place we work or live in is set aside for the glory of God.We are Paul & Candy.

Lily's Story - Pregnancy & Infant Loss Awareness

Lily's Story - Pregnancy & Infant Loss Awareness
We are so glad you are here. This episode is going to be a little bit different than usual. Every once in a while, we like to tackle a serious subject. Today, we are going to talk about something that is very near dear to our hearts. October is Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Month and October 16th also happens to be our daughter, Lily’s, 17th heavenly birthday. We realize this is a very sensitive subject, but we also feel like telling Lily’s story can be helpful, and start the journey to healing, for some, who like we did at the time… feel like they are trying to navigate that road alone.We are Paul & Candy.

Today is the Day!
Sep 9 2024
Today is the Day!
When we traveled full-time in our RV, I kept a blog of our experiences and recorded things that were on my heart during those days. At one point, I wrote a little blog called, “Today is the Day.”  It captured what was in my heart at the time. It captured how fleeting I felt time was. I was watching my kids grow up before my eyes. I could feel time passing as if I was sitting in slow motion and everything around me was in fast forward.We are Paul & Candy.  Welcome to our podcast where we look for opportunities in our lives to see a beautiful view.

We thought it would be fun to do a little throwback to tell the story of when this British guy moved to Texas to marry Candy.
