Life with the Lansfords

I had such a blast with the Lansfords while I was in Texas.

I have known Lisa and the girls—Linsay, left in the picture, and Rochelle on the right—since I taught Linsay 15 years ago. (WOW! How time flies.)

And I love staying with them when I am in Texas because:
  • The girls make me laugh until my sides hurt, and I feel as if I will BURST (quite literally)!
  • Linsay remains one of my all-time favorite students—I loved having her in class, and I love hanging out with her now that she is an adult.
  • Lisa’s husband is one of the nicest men I know. He understands the importance of “girl time.” AND he makes breakfast when I am staying there (the best huevo rancheros—yummy!!).
  • Lisa is a true friend.

No matter where I go or where I live—a part of me will always call Texas home—and it is because of my friends.

Once our eyes are opened, we cannot pretend we don't know what to do. God, who weighs our hearts and keeps our souls, knows what we know, and He holds us responsible to ACT.
