In previous years I have tried to create goals at the beginning of each new year. However, I have often had trouble following through on these goals over the duration of the year because they have either been too complicated and/or I have had too many. Moreover, once I have fallen off … Continue reading My Goals for 2018

Why we accept every invitation we get…and perhaps you should too
In our day many of us live with calendars full to the brim and our lives have very little time for anything outside our regularly scheduled daily or weekly activities (which are often very fine activities). Over the years our family certainly fit this category although we have always been very selective in how we … Continue reading Why we accept every invitation we get…and perhaps you should too
My Goals for 2016
After being moderately successful in keeping up with my priorities and goals for 2015 I realize that I bit off more than I could chew. In other words, I was a little too aggressive in my action under my priorities. Therefore, in 2016 I will be simplifying my action items that drive my priorities. I will, however, … Continue reading My Goals for 2016
Reflections on running and the Christian life
Most people I know HATE running and, frankly, I don't blame them. In fact, in a recent conversation with a good friend who is an avid runner, he told one of my sons that the only part of running he likes is the finish line. Running is hard, tiring, and most of the time not all … Continue reading Reflections on running and the Christian life
23 days 15 hours and 24minutes-But Who’s Counting? (By: Betsy Holloway)
This March my husband, Trevor, had the opportunity to travel to Peru with two other men to determine a location in Peru where our families can serve long-term.

One more makes SIX…Pics of Eleanor Joy
I remember shortly after we had Ethan (via c-section due to a failed induction) the surgeon who performed the c-section said that any other children we had would need to be delivered via c-section as well. However, Betsy worked hard at educating herself, and me, and we soon realized that this was not true. What … Continue reading One more makes SIX…Pics of Eleanor Joy
Thoughts on biblical parenting from a class I recently taught
If you are politically inclined (or old enough to remember 🙂 ) you may recall the greatest moment in the history of Vice Presidential debates - Reform Party candidate, Admiral James Stockdale, began his opening remarks by saying with a somewhat quizzical demeanor, "Who am I? Why am I here?" Of course, before he could launch … Continue reading Thoughts on biblical parenting from a class I recently taught
Reminiscing on 8 Years with Betsy
I stood there looking back with great anticipation. Butterflies in my stomach not from nerves but due to excitement anticipating the moment. Then the music changed and doors swung open. There she was – stunningly beautiful. My bride stood before me and tears welled up in my eyes. As the rest of the ceremony proceeded … Continue reading Reminiscing on 8 Years with Betsy
Seeing the Goodness of God in All Things
The Lord is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer, my God, my rock, in whom I take refuge, my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold (Psalm 18:2). "God is God and we are not." This is one of our Holloway Family Slogans. Sometimes we just do not know why the … Continue reading Seeing the Goodness of God in All Things
