When I was in high school, I tried out for the track team. Unfortunately, I was much faster and more agile in my mind than I was in real life. After acing the relay race and the long distance run, I thought I had a chance to garner that coveted…
We all know pictures can tell a thousand words, but this one just jumped off the page as if to say, “This is your life.” Here in my hometown the circus comes around every January and puts on the greatest show on earth. Everything from contortionists to clowns to wild…
As I began to write my next post in our “Leading Ladies” series, I was overwhelmed with the significance of this weekend. In honor and recognition of the most pivotal event in history, I am postponing our “Leading Ladies” series for a weekend of prayer and reflection. “Leading Ladies and…
I didn’t want to do it, but I had no choice. Everyone who knows me knows I hate to shop, but it was summer time and I was in desperate need of a cover up. You know, one of those long dress-looking-shirt-things that we put over our bathing suits to…

For the next two weeks you will find that social media, along with ‘normal’ media outlets, will be a buzz about the plight of human trafficking. Maybe it will raise an awareness…maybe it will bring us to our knees. Perhaps, it will set us on our feet and provoke us…
As I began my morning routine of filtering through my email, I found a welcomed post I subscribe to by Kathi Lipp. She asked for comments that would share how God showed up when life had us down. The poor girl. I know she probably didn’t think anyone would write…
A couple weeks ago I told someone I wanted to live my life face down. Kind of a hard position to spend the rest of my life in. After all, if I’m literally face down, walking would be pretty difficult…driving would be impossible…and working…well, let’s just say I would definitely…
