About Lynde
Hey! Thanks for stopping by. . . pull up a chair & pour yourself a cup of tea. Here is a little bit about me: I currently live in Austin, Texas with one of God’s best creations—Mike Ross. We have four children whose ages are 17, 13, 8, and 5. Needless to say, they bring a great amount joy and challenge to my everyday life! I love to read, play tennis, water-ski, and shop, but most of all, I love to be with people. I am passionate about living life to the fullest & challenging others to come along for the ride! None of this would be possible without the saving grace of my Lord and Savior, Jesus. My prayer is that you would catch glimpses of Him in everything I do and say. Feel free to leave comments and/or questions. . . I love a good dialogue!
My (current) favorite quote:
"Plunge boldly into the thick of life." -Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Birthday Blog
Well, happy birthday to me. For years I tried to convince my family that we should celebrate birthday month in my honor. When that wouldn’t work, I kindly whittled it down to birthday week. Still no dice. So, like the … Continue reading

Becoming an Outlaw
I went to see the new Robin Hood movie. I am not usually a fan of action movies, but I went along, and was actually quite surprised at how much I liked it. For one, it had a little romance … Continue reading
Sink or Swim
Ever feel like you have been tossed into the ocean without a life preserver? It seems to be a new way of life for me. One of my Christian friends actually told me that I remind her of Noah. She … Continue reading
