Friends, I am so excited to share this week’s post. Brought back by popular vote is another article written by my daughter. Her post titled Prepare For Poop: Confessions from a New Mom was LOVED. In fact, I arrived to speak at a retreat and the ladies were talking about my blog–but NOT a post […]
Last night my husband and I celebrated 35 years of marriage. While we sat in a romantic restaurant [and by the way, the picture above is not where we were, just the pic I wanted to share] steeling kisses and displaying over-the-top googly eyes and affection it was a huge difference from how the day […]

Kyle is a pastor, writer, speaker, as well as, a superb-awesome-excellent husband and dad. I’m just a tad proud of him, can you tell? Enjoy this special treat, and please follow […]

My husband and I were watching a movie about a writer. The writer in the story would take all the rejection letters he received and pin each one on the wall of his living room. The wall was wallpapered with rejection letters from end to end. It was a sea of endless rejection. I can […]
This cute little darling of a 4th grader, with a big smile, cheerfully glided into the kids’ class where I was helping on Sunday morning. The lesson was on LOVE, and during our small group time, I asked, “When was the last time you felt loved?” “I haven’t felt loved for a while” said the […]
When I found out from my publisher that they wanted me to have a promo video done for my book my first reaction was panic. I wish I could tell you that it was excitement but it wasn’t. It was panic. How am I going to do this? What do I say? Who’s going to […]
It’s that time of year where we make our resolution lists. This year I’m writing a NOT New Year’s Resolution List. I will not make a resolution list this year. I will not beg God to do things the way I think they need to be done. I will not focus on negative irritations about […]
