A bit tired of the usual grind today, I found my motherly self a bit at odds. Too many “Mo-oms” at once and my head aches. Do you think moms could form a union? Ask for overtime? Demand vacation pay? Request better health benefits? Do you think we could rally…
Reflection is good for the soul. Especially when it is reflection on how God has worked in your life. Twelve years ago today I made my way to the Cincinnati Zoo with a bouncy three year old in the back seat. We were tired; it had been a busy week….

The salt and pepper hair had faded and silver strands coiled in their places. Once straight and tall, their frames had begun to curve uncomfortably. Old age was “setting in.” And while that wasn’t so bad really, after all, their lives had been full…yet something was missing. Something BIG…
Just a couple days ago, I was given the privilege of adding my name to the Kindred link for the Relevant Conference. To say that it is a miracle that I’m here is an understatement. God works in mysterious ways. Here is what my bio looks like on the link:…

Last Friday my fourth grader, Michael, sure made his parents proud. His public school teacher called to let me know that Michael raised his hand during class because he did not think he should be listening to a particular story, Tuck Everlasting. While many Christians consider this fantasy story to…
It’s Monday. The day after the weekend. Wait, you knew that, didn’t you? My typical cleaning day. Love to sit down at the end of the day and breath that sigh of relief that says “I did it. This house is as clean as it gets.” But today I…
