Happy Birthday DJ
Today’s post is dedicated to my youngest son, DJ. I’m not going to get all mushy and embarrass him through cyberspace, but I do want to thank him for not only being such a great son, but for also being such a great friend! Through the years, we’ve talked about…
Called to Solitude
I’ve been studying the book of Acts for a while, but today my heart turned to 1 Kings 17 & 18. I’m not sure that I have grasped everything God has for me in those power-packed chapters, but I want to share with you one of the ways God spoke…
How Do You Spell “Mothers”
When I think about all the things a mother is and a mother does, I couldn’t help but laugh. We are multi-talented, multi-tasking mavens! So I thought I’d have a little fun today and work out an acrostic of the word ‘mothers’ and see how many descriptions we can up…
Call the Whambulance
Lately, I’ve been thinking about how we use words to describe people places and things. An then, the other day I read Kathi Lipp’s blog and she talked about how her and her hubby have been making up words during the last couple of weeks and I couldn’t help but…
A Teacher’s Best Tool
I tend to be a bottom-line kind of girl, so I’m going to get right to it. Teaching comes in many forms and fashions. We teach by example…but that can often be flawed by our personal failures. We can teach by circumstances…yet those aren’t always relevant when we relate them…
He Sings for Me
Today, I made my usual trip to Facebook to check on my friends and found a familiar verse posted by Renee Swope from the Proverbs 31 Ministry. It triggered such a sweet memory of an article I wrote a couple of years ago and I couldn’t help but reminisce on…
An Herodias Heart
“At that time Herod the tetrarch heard the report about Jesus and said to his servants, “This is John the Baptist; he is risen from the dead, and therefore these powers are at work in him.” For Herod had laid hold of John and bound him, and put him in…
Dig In
This week is the unveiling of a new and exciting project called Scripture Dig! I’m totally stoked (an expression my surfer husband likes to say) to be part of the team in this joint journey through the Word of God. Scripture Dig is devoted to equipping women with the necessary…
Thank You, Thank You, Thank You!
As I sit here in the hospital room awaiting the news from the doctor and watching my brother-in-law breathe by way of a ventilator and eat by way of a tube through his nose, I can’t help but be reminded of how fleeting life really is. A breath…a vapor. After…
Do What They Say
I’ve heard it said that growing old is not for sissies, but neither is writing. Although my first book is due out in August and I haven’t really been writing for very long, one thing I’ve learned about submitting a manuscript is that it’s important to do what they say.…
