https://vimeo.com/181948374 I have friends named Chad & Heidi. They go to my church, and we have been close to them for about four years now. The day I met Heidi was the same day that I learned about how her life is different than most, because she is genuine and open. Honestly I didn't know how... Continue Reading →
Chaos and Noise
I was running one day last week, more like fast walking if compared to my kids who run every stinking day, and using an app on my phone that maps the route, distance and time. My favorite feature about this app is that each time you tick a mile, a female voice announces your progress... Continue Reading →
Handle With Care
Feeling a need for bubble wrap today. I want to take a huge roll of the stuff and start it at my core and spin around multiple times, I'll need a helper with some strong tape to secure it tight after I'm snug in there. Maybe some headphones first, alternating between smooth jazz and the sound... Continue Reading →
Get Behind Me, Satan
Catalog and direct sales companies send them out for a reason. If she just opens it once, she will see what her life could be..... This is the lie that can grab hold and make you wonder if life wouldn't be better if only..... Not really all that different from a certain snake in... Continue Reading →

It was a time of refreshment and introspection, and I am still processing a lot... Continue Reading →

It seemed to cover most every situation and was simple enough to understand, but difficult enough to accomplish that it had to be repeated many times throughout the day. As the children got older, they... Continue Reading →
Hot Summer
A few weeks ago my guy came home from work to a very warm house. I had been home most all day, and had noticed it was heating up but didn't think much of it until he told me it was 79 degrees inside. Our air conditioner had obviously decided to take an unscheduled break. It... Continue Reading →
Look For God
I was running in my neighborhood and talking to God, feeling very alone. I told Him all about it and was gently reminded that I was wrong, that He is very aware of where I am and why I am here. I looked up in a tree and there was a nest full of baby... Continue Reading →
Travel Lightly
I heard a convicting sermon recently 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 village,... Continue Reading →
Success
Recently we had some friends over for dinner and conversation. This group is made up of people from our church who have children in the tweens or teens stages and/or have been married 15+ years. We had an agreed upon topic to discuss before hand, and this time it was 'Handling Success'. There is... Continue Reading →
