Critic

Ever been told you have a critical spirit? I have, not by a person, but God has convicted me of it time and again. If you tend to look at something - a performance, the layout of a store, a beautiful scene, the efficiency of a group working together - and say this is really... Continue Reading →

Resolve

                        It is that time again, the season to be thinking of all the ways to improve in life with New Year’s resolutions, when in reality maybe we need New Life resolutions. I don’t need lofty goals at the beginning of the year that... Continue Reading →

Permission

I'm not sure when it happened, but a couple of months ago my friend and I were making plans to meet at the gym for a group fitness class. I mentioned that I was desperate to do anything - even put my winter white self into a swimsuit and I don't know....swim? We looked at... Continue Reading →

This will be short, I'm on a trip to visit our girl at missionary school, phones and laptops are allowed but not encouraged at this point.

One Rule: Have Fun!

Recently our son turned eighteen, and for the last year or two he has talked about sky diving. I have had an interest int he same thing, so I agreed to going with him right after he was of legal age to do so, and Saturday was that day for us. We drove three hours... Continue Reading →

Lessons in the Garden

Every summer I try my hand at gardening. Some years it's four tomato plants in the side yard that result only in enough to feed us dinner, and other years it's a full blown plot of land filled with herbs, peppers, tomatoes, lettuces and squashes. This year we are going big, we rented a garden... Continue Reading →

Ask the Right Question

What are we going to do? How do I decide? Which college should I choose? Should we have another baby? These are important questions that most of us face at some point in life. We may pray about it and seek Godly counsel but still feel pressured and stressed to be ready with an answer,... Continue Reading →
