I love visiting churches. Don’t you? While I was in Missouri I got the opportunity to visit a church. Not just any church, the church my son attends while he’s at college. I loved the church. I loved being with fellow Christ followers and receiving great Bible teaching. And yet, as you know, if you’ve […]
I was scrolling through Facebook when I saw it. It was big. It was beautiful. I wanted it. I started to feel like my life wasn’t full without it. And what was this thing I had to have in order to feel happy? Are you ready for this? A kitchen. Has that ever happened to […]
We said our goodbyes and he pulled away from the curb. I don’t like saying goodbye to my husband, but on this particular early morning I was over-the-top excited to be flying to Missouri to visit our son at college. I asked the nearest person in a uniform where I had to go for Allegiant […]
I walked into my kitchen, saw a pile of dirty dishes and thought… He [my husband] doesn’t love me. After 34 years of being in a devoted and faithful marriage, and a kitchen with dirty dishes turns me into an insecure high school girl who just found out her boyfriend forgot their three-month anniversary.

I was flying to Texas…many of my posts start that way, have you noticed? Well, I was flying to Texas, and my husband dropped me off at the Flyaway. (For those of you who don’t know, the Flyaway is a bus taking travelers to LAX.) I like to sit toward the front because I tend […]
A few weeks back I wrote a post titled Food Affects My Marriage. With it I got a tremendous outpouring of love and support for which I am truly grateful. I believe that a big part of conquering our struggles is admitting it to others. In doing so I’ve heard from many of you who […]
Have you ever gotten off track? I’ve gotten off track, friends. I’ve allowed the busyness of the world to derail me from my highest priorities. I’ve been focused on trivial matters instead of on kingdom matters. I’ve allowed my emotions to take hold and lead me on to rocky terrain. Rocks have been flying up […]
Usually my husband will send me a text or call when he’s on his way home from work. I was visiting my daughter, and new grandson, and had tried to contact Mike, but couldn’t get through. This is not out of the ordinary, sometimes he just can’t be reached. I was hoping to coordinate arriving […]
I’m on a journey. A health journey. I know you probably can’t tell from my outside but on the inside I struggle daily. I struggle like a cocaine user or alcoholic or sex addict or porn user—my drug is food. I use it when I’m happy. I use it when I’m sad. I use it […]
I’m ruined, y’all! After witnessing my grandson come into this world I am completely busted and can’t seem to put myself back together. And I don’t know that I want to. Buckle up for the story… My husband and I were hours away at a conference when the text came in that Monica was having […]
