It has been so fun to watch my partner in ministry, Gretch-e-j as I like to call her (which is her old Twitter name) being pursued and caught by the love of her life, Greg Saffles! They recently were married in a beautiful, God-glorifying wedding ceremony. Once Gretch finally gave in and admitted she kind … [Read more…]
The Gift is just a month away! I am so excited about this day of ministry to Single Moms. It’s one of my favorite days of the year! Actually the whole idea for The Gift came several years ago after going on a mission trip with a Single Mom. I was “wrecked” after getting to … [Read more…]

At Midnight Train earlier this month, with all the women attending in one room, I asked those who were involved in Women’s Ministry to stand up. A minority did which perfectly illustrated what I feared … [Read more…]

Well I must admit there is sadness today because the 2012 Summer Olympics is over! I’ve already expressed how much I enjoyed watching the games over the last two weeks. The one thing that drove me crazy though was all the build up to an event and just about the time I could hardly stand … [Read more…]
Are you as into the Olympics as much as I am? I cannot wait for 7:00 pm to get here each evening so that I can watch it. As much as I enjoy watching the Olympics on TV, following along on Twitter may be even more fun! Here are some tweets from people I follow … [Read more…]
