There are days that the only thing to do is to call a friend and laugh your way through it. Thank you Mom, for being my laughter today as I was filled with #momfails and it’s only 11:30 am. First of all, I get up this morning and realize that my only success for the…
Saturday I received a text. “I’m picking Wes up at 11:00.” I respond, “But we have a verbal agreement that you will come after church at 12:30.” “Well, I’m getting him at 11:00.” Two feelings fall into my chest. Anger. Fear. “Why is he doing this? He hasn’t fought me about time on Sunday’s since…
To Lady A, the mom who forgave my kid today, a thank you doesn’t seem sufficient. My kid has inherited his fiery temper from me. I would love to pass the buck here and blame this fit throwing behavior on to his father, but in fact his dad is even, slow to anger and even when…
I don’t think there is anything in the world more thrilling than seeing God. Though He might not make himself visible to the eye, He unquestionably shows His hand through circumstances. I have a friend whose name is Barbara. She is one of the neatest ladies I know, and when I think about the reason…

There are sporting events, movies, arcades, lazer tag, bowling, comedy clubs, symphony halls, etc. Anything you enjoy, you can find a place…
“Day to day pours out speech, and night to night reveals knowledge. There is no speech, nor are there words, whose voice is not heard. Their voice goes out through all the earth and their words to the end of the world.” Nature. That is what this verse is talking about. Being out in nature….
“The Heavens declare the glory of God. The sky above proclaims his handiwork.” Declare: (Merriam-Webster) 1. to make clear 2. to make evident 3. to state emphatically I love this! His work is clear and evident to us. He is not a God of confusion, nor is he a God of subtlety. His work is…
Wes and I had just finished looking at one of our Christian placemats about creation. We talked about the week of creation and all that God accomplished on each of those days. We ended our discussion on day 6 and 7 where he made Adam and Eve and then rested. After that, I decided to ask…
