Welcome....Here's a glimpse of our happenings!

The verses that have REALLY spoken to me (Sarah) lately....



"Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock. The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on the rock." Matthew 7:24-25



Be self-controlled and alert. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour. Resist him, standing firm in the faith, because you know that your brothers throughout the world are undergoing the same kind of sufferings. I Peter 5:8-9



From one man he made every nation of men, that they should inhabit the whole earth; and he determined the times set for them and the exact places where they should live. God did this so that men would seek him and perhaps reach out for him and find him, though he is not far from each one of us. For in him we live and move and have our being. As some of your own poets have said, 'We are his offspring.' Acts 17:26-28



May the words of my mouth and the mediation of my heart be pleasing in your sight, O Lord, my Rock, and my Redeemer. Psalm 19:14



So be careful to do what the Lord your God has commanded you; do not turn aside to the right or to the left. Walk in all the way that the Lord your God has commanded you, so that you may live and prosper and prolong your days in the land that you will possess. Deuteronomy 5:32-33



God, our God, will take care of the hidden things but the revealed things are our business. It's up to us and our children to attend to all the terms in this Revelation. Deuteronomy 29:29 (The Message)

About the Friesen's....

We are Marc, Sarah, Luke, and Kate Friesen. We were married June 5, 2004. We have one son, born July 21, 2008, named Luke Andrew -- now 4 years old. We also have a daughter named Kate Christine -- born June 6, 2012. Marc is working at Cessna as a Senior Accountant, and Sarah stays home full-time with Luke. Sarah also gets to work very part-time at home for Graber Backhoe -- an excavation company AND VERY part-time at our church. We LOVE being a part of Grace Community Church here in Newton, KS. We lead a Community Life Group of other wonderful couples. Marc thoroughly enjoys long-distance running and Taekwondo. Sarah thoroughly enjoys walking -- especially when the weather is nice to take Luke and/or out in the stroller. Thanks for reading our blog!

Sarah's Long Days....

As I (Sarah) mentioned a few days ago, I have been put on "restricted activity" because of my slightly elevated blood pressure. How have I been filling my days? Well, I've decided to create a list of the top 10 things I've been doing -- and they're in no particular order of importance or enjoyment.

1) Working on DQ Stuff -- Nope, DQ work doesn't stop for my restricted leave. Thank Goodness for a home office with a company-provided laptop to keep going somewhat.

2) Reading -- I actually am reading a novel as well as my obligatory pregnancy and baby books.
3) Watching TV/Movies

4) Talking on the phone -- For both work and for fun

5) Fixing EASY meals for supper for Marc and me

6) Napping -- if I were to rank these items by enjoyment, the napping would be toward the top.

7) Sitting with my feet up
8) Going to Doctor's appointments

9) Going to the Post Office -- I can thank my job with DQ for this one. It gets me out of the house for a bit almost every day.

10) Monitoring my blood pressure with home monitor
If any of you have any other great ideas for "restricted activity," please let me know.

Actually, Kendall, both of your recommendations did pique my interest -- especially the second one.
