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 […]
I wonder what would happen if people held up a sign that read “I Need a Job! Please Help!” instead of panhandling for money? Would people be more inclined to help someone find a job, or give them a job, as opposed to handing them a few bucks? What do you think? When my husband […]
I’m sitting here immobilized. Bad news can do that to you. I had been feeling a bit sad and grieving the whole empty nest thing. My thoughts began to dominate me with the fact that I am old enough to be a grandmother now, and, in fact, I AM a grandmother. Grandmothers are so old. […]
It was Sunday morning. I was sitting at Starbucks across the street from our church waiting for my pregnant daughter to arrive, that’s when the call came in. She wouldn’t be coming with her husband to church because he was concerned about her being dizzy. “He’s afraid I’m going to fall over.” Her description made […]
Some people go nuts over movie stars. I have a friend who if she has a star-siting becomes embarrassing. Well, folks I’m like that when I meet authors. I get a little crazy, okay… I’ve embarrassed my husband on numerous occasions. Does your spouse ever embarrass you? Let’s not talk about when I met Dr. […]
