Improving my love of life…. through loving God, self and others
I have been trying to become a runner for years with minimal success. I was not athletic as a child, choosing music over sports and always dreading gym class, which has made it more difficult to pursue a constant activity as an adult because it never feels natural to me. As a parent I have... Continue Reading →
Are you a score keeper? I am embarrassed to say that I was. For years I was convinced that my husband wasn’t giving his all in our marriage. It felt like he was trying to get away with doing the least amount of work, and it was my job to catch him and put another... Continue Reading →
I have been looking forward to this weekend for weeks now; my guy and I are headed to the West Coast for a few days away. Time alone together, sunshine and a fabulous conference I have wanted to attend make for a dream come true for me. Except now there is a major snowstorm headed... Continue Reading →
We heard a convicting sermon yesterday based on Mark 6, when Jesus sent the disciples out to replicate what they had been watching and learning from him. There were several boundaries that he gave: Travel in groups of two Take only one set of clothing, and no food with you When you enter a new... Continue Reading →

When my guy started working for a new company in a whole new industry, naturally there was a steep learning curve to get up to speed on how the business was run, how the parts were made and what the customers wanted. He expected this and planned for it; what he wasn’t prepared for was... Continue Reading →
Over the last twenty years, my guy and I have moved around the country quite a bit, changing for a new position within the company or for a new opportunity with a different corporation. At this point, we have committed to our children that we will not make any more moves until they have all... Continue Reading →
All Moms know about the witching hour; the last sixty minutes of the day before Dad gets home and rescues you from Crazyland. For some reason, it is the time of day when the kids are at their absolute worst, more tantrums are thrown and messes made in this short span of time than the... Continue Reading →
Desire has been on my mind a lot lately. Sounds sexy, doesn’t it? I’ve been thinking about my ravenous appetite for more – more love, more feeling, more stuff. Instead of sexy, it’s actually disgusting because if I am honest with myself, as soon as one of these needs is satisfied, another one takes its... Continue Reading →
John 13:34 A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. Jesus doesn’t mince words with this one, he wants us to radically, non-traditionally love others. He did this while on earth by spending time, serving and healing others. How do we do this...
