My family dreams. We have a rule that was instated out of necessity several years ago named the "After 8:30 Rule." This rule declares that all great thoughts must be discussed before 8:30 in the evening, or saved for the next day.While editing pictures, I came across a series of images from last year, documenting a bit of life in my fabulous family. In our previous house, the refrigerator boasted a perfectly-sized white board, which was always covered with dry-erase scrawlings and scribbles.
I love the fact that the white board reflects such an eclectic collection of ideas and "to dos"—the next book idea, a sermon outline, curtain patterns, a shopping list, a money maker idea, a history lesson, yet another book idea and another big dream…
We don't have a big enough white board at our house in Bonham yet, but the dreams are still coming. Right along with grocery lists and phone messages and when exactly the next orthodontist appointment is, anyway. God has been restoring our souls to the point of dreaming again.
So what about you? What big dreams has God planted in your heart and given you a passion to perform for His glory? Keep dreaming! I, for one, will be joining you. As long as it's after 8:30.

Hey, I remember that white board! I remember those dreams! I remember the Dream Team! I remember what it feels like when you live dreams with purpose, passion, and pursuit.
The secret to coming up with a great idea...is to start with a bunch of ideas. The secret to making them happen...is still a secret. (...but we're working on that--want to help?) We just put up another, bigger, better white board in Bonham. Give me a call...before 8:30. Hurry back, we miss you.
I love your dreams, Mandy. Keep them flowing!
