We use mirrors every day. I mean, we females usually balk at going out in public not knowing whether our hair looks right, or our clothes look appropriate, or our mascara isn’t smudged. Or, perhaps the most widely used reason by most women: do these pants make my backside look big? The truth is we … [Read more…]
Memorize Scripture With Your Kids
Is there even time for this? The sink is overflowing. The laundry yet undone (just when I think I’ve reached the end, I realize I must begin again, smile). There’s beds to be made. Computer work to get done. Where in this life full to the brim is there time to sit and memorize Scripture … [Read more…]
Hoarders
From time to time I find myself watching the show Hoarders. Not really sure why. I don’t enjoy it. It’s like watching a train wreck – once it’s on I simply cannot turn it off. I find myself sitting there, mouth hanging open, watching as someone literally buried in their own possessions and frankly trash … [Read more…]
The Flipside of Overscheduled Families
The world says, “You can’t make it in life unless you’re constantly pushing yourself and your family. Those parents admired most are the ones who do it all.” We say, “I don’t want my child left behind. I don’t want to be seen as lazy, uninformed, and uncaring. Life feels like a stressful, endless race … [Read more…]

There are huge battles being waged against deep darkness. I need to go; I need to MOVE! But where, Lord? How do you want to use … [Read more…]
Plagues
Early on in our marriage, Clay and I knew without a doubt that there were some definite differences. I cry during the Grey’s Anatomy when Denny dies even though I’ve seen that episode 5 times and he gets excited about a History Channel program. The floor on his side of the bed is perfectly clear … [Read more…]

It’s Time to GO!
I’m still reeling from Momentum! Anyone else? Thinking about the event reminded me of the story in Luke 9 about Jesus taking Peter, James, and John up on the mountain to pray. “As He was praying, the appearance of His face changed, and His clothes became dazzling white. Suddenly, two men were talking with Him—Moses … [Read more…]
