Video: Celebrating 2014

So it's the last day of January 2015, and I'm just now posting a reflection video about 2014. It was that big of a year... and I've been that swamped in January. I loved putting this together - mainly because what I left out was just as fun to remember as what I included. The Noble family has so much to be grateful for!

Miracles in the mailbox

Denied.

While we continue to be bewildered by the unconscionable decisions of our insurance company, we are not stopped. The generosity, support and encouragement of family, friends and neighbors has enabled us to proceed and simply pay for the PET scan out-of-pocket.

Finding time to read

Finding time to read in a culture that would rather capture your eyes through movies or TV is a upstream battle that can be exhausting. Many of convinced themselves that they "just don't like to read." I'd like to challenge that assumption as a cop-out and encourage you to make time to read.
