Improving my love of life…. through loving God, self and others
Ever noticed how so many Christians use the word ‘just’ in their prayers? “Lord, just bless this person/instance/organization……..just fill each person with your spirit……just have your way in this situation….” Where did this come from? Why do we say this? It sounds like we are limiting God, like we are only asking for this very... Continue Reading →
I had the privilege of guest blogging at Holy Sexuality yesterday for November's Body Talk series, here it is: When my children were just babies, it was already easy to see one way boys were different than girls; our girls would stare into peoples’ eyes and concentrate on the faces that were in front of...

My Mother in law is visiting us from out of state this week. I picked her up at the airport yesterday and one of the first things she talked about was her cleaning lady. It seems the woman’s husband had just suffered a massive heart attack, and no one was sure if he would survive.... Continue Reading →

I’m not ready for lessons tonight, I didn’t practice much this week. Can I skip?” No. “I’m exhausted from all the homework I had last night, can I go in late today?” No. “My teachers allow us to have smart phones to use in class. Can I get one?” Are you kidding me?! These are... Continue Reading →
We have a new puppy in our house. Jade is a one year old german shepherd who joined our family about 3 weeks ago. We were not looking for another pet, but Jade captured our hearts as soon as we saw her, and we made plans to make her ours. Jade is from a rescue... Continue Reading →
“You’re not from around here. Where are you from?” Not my favorite question. How do you answer when you have lived in nine states, moving a total of 18 times? Do you give the whole list of places lived, only tell the latest one, or maybe the longest you stayed? Regions of the country? I... Continue Reading →
