The Most Beautiful Worship

I have a confession: I’ve been struggling during my worship service lately. If that sounds strange, please let me explain … From a very early age, I have known that I was created to worship the Lord through song. I knew as a child in elementary school, singing with the children’s choir during church services. In 7th grade, I sang my first church solo. I can clearly remember standing … [Read more...]

(from Nickelodeon's Wallykazam) with the 4 year old and "GOOOOOAAAAALLLL!" during the 2014 FIFA World Cup soccer games with the almost 20 year old. I've even been trying to teach my teenage son with special needs, Evan, … [Read more...]

The Dirty Job of Special Needs Parenting

February 19, 2013 by Barbara Dittrich 9 Comments

“Now that I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also should wash one another’s feet.” (John 13:14, NIV) “Bloody noses are just a nuisance,” the hematologist proclaimed.  I melted into tears and frustrated anger as we stood there in the exam room, sleep deprived and disheveled, lacking a desperately needed shower. “YOU live with this and see how much of a nuisance this is!” I cried … [Read more...]
