Improving my love of life…. through loving God, self and others
Recently I had the opportunity to attend a Christian conference where the main goal was to get away and focus on yourself, reflect on your life and try to imagine what God was calling out in you for the future. It was a time of refreshment and introspection, and I am still processing a lot... 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 work closely with a woman who struggles to tell the truth. I’m not saying she lies about everything, but our perceptions of most events are vastly different.

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...

On Saturday morning our hot water heater died without warning. And took the basement carpet out with it. Our family spent most of the weekend pulling wet carpet and pad up, prying carpet nails out of concrete and choosing our next type of basement flooring. It was work, but it felt good to make progress... Continue Reading →
It was a foggy night last night in Nebraska. My daughter and I were out running errands and we had the eerie feel of being the only people left on the planet as we were driving through town. She was delighted to see that her school had completely vanished and I marveled at how the... Continue Reading →
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 →
