Improving my love of life…. through loving God, self and others
For years my life was incredibly busy. I won’t bore you with the details, but I call that period of my life living monkey bar to monkey bar; as your hand is leaving a bar the other one is firmly grasping onto the next, with little thought of where you have been or where you... Continue Reading →
It’s been a hard few weeks at our house; nothing specific to point to, just a lot of teenage angst and drama, some decisions to make and a lot that needs to be done, sprinkled with several significant crises within our church family. For us, church family isn’t necessarily just here in the town we... Continue Reading →

A woman was telling me recently how much she wished her husband would lead their family; she was so tired of being the ‘spiritual leader’ of their home but he was resistant, so she often took the reins. We talked about ways to give up the need to lead and give him time to take... Continue Reading →
Do unto others as you would have done to you. Luke 6:31 I used to get upset with my husband because it felt like he didn’t consider me. If he was getting something to drink, he would rarely offer me one, and I often felt like my opinion really didn’t matter much to him on... Continue Reading →
Several years ago our oldest daughter went away to a Christian summer camp and came home on fire for Jesus. It was so exciting to see her bloom and grow right in front of us, to hear her talk about her relationship with Christ, and dream about what God had in store for her future.... Continue Reading →
