Dear Church: We Have Missed It
Yesterday, I found myself enjoying the afternoon sunlight - a welcome fall guest in my living room. Our west facing windows that have been drawn tight to shut out the blistering summer rays were finally flung open. Gladly received sunbeams flooded through the two...
Let Hope Rise…
When I was young, I suffered from night terrors. I would wake up in the middle of the night and find myself in a hazy place between sleep and consciousness terrified of things that would never happen. I remember waking up one night in my momma’s arms. I was crying...

For When You Cannot See Past Today…
I read the end of a book first. I will often search the internet for movie spoilers before paying for my ticket. Oh, and rarely am I surprised by the results of a reality TV game show. I like to know what is coming. I know. I get it. You’re reading this thinking,...
Just a Donkey
My husband and I took our kids to the State Fair this weekend. My goodness. I could write a series of posts on that adventure… but this little post only takes us about an hour into our ride there. Our pleasant little trip was underway. The kids munched happily on...
What I Wish They Had Told Me Before I Had My Baby

A Lesson on Beauty
*Clomp clomp clomp clomp* “Look, mommy! I pretty just like you.” Her tiny size 6 toddler feet were tucked into the toes of my sparkly flats. She had gone to my closet and pulled them all on her own. She was so proud of herself as she came clomping across the kitchen...
Perspective is Everything
"Let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith." Hebrews 12:1-2 We were sitting on the front porch enjoying playing with chalk. Normal requests for racecars and butterflies had filled our front...
Raising Greatness – Parenting With Love
The pool was closing early for the day. We had arrived not long before, and when the announcement was made... I honestly panicked. If you have ever met a toddler, you are surely aware of their extremely delicate dispositions. Basically, they are always one "no" away...
Deep Breath. God is Still on the Throne.
Well, it is 10:40. The babies are asleep, and the day is over. I am finally "off-duty" for a minute. All of the day's "I'll think about that laters" are bubbling to the surface of my mind like I just dropped Alka-Seltzer into a cup of sprite. Test results Bills...
