The NAME....

What's in a name? I want to layout why I chose the name I did, “The Fuessel Circus.” I came up with it when the hubby and I were on our way to board a cruise ship from Galveston, TX. The name “The Fuessel Circus” came out of much thought about our family, our home, and the way things run.

Most of you know that a circus runs like a well oiled machine. One flaw or mistake can ruin a performance. If you look at the famous circuses that come to town, the performers don't miss a beat. I compare life to the circus because most of us learn the hard way how to do things the right way. At least, that's the way I look at it.

I chose this name because I want our family to run like a well oiled machine and for everyone to pitch in and take their rightful place within the family. The bible gives us specific guidelines about what our roles are as a family and this is something we are learning and how we will live in a family that serves the Lord with all our heart, soul, and mind.
