Bible stories are so much more than stories, aren’t they? The Bible provides genealogies of families living years upon years ago. We can read poems and songs translated through languages we’ve never heard spoken. We can read descriptions of lands we may have never seen and imagine the architecture…
I wish I could sit down for about 4 hours with each of you reading and take you on a visual journey of love through the photos and videos from my visit to Kenya. I really don’t think you’d get bored at all. The people are etched into my heart…
And so Monday has rolled around once more. As you might guess, I’m running a little behind Monday at this point after spending Thursday through Sunday at the She Speaks conference in Charlotte, NC, including my travel time. I’m also running a little behind on my Bible reading, about…
This weekend I’m leading a blogging hands-on platform building class at Proverbs 31 Ministries She Speaks conference. The focus of the workshop is content and I’m very honored to be a small part of such an incredible conference. This is my third year attending and I really can’t say enough…

Teaching children to pray is a topic I’ve not approached on the blog, because frankly I’m still trying to figure it out. Any time I write from a parenting view, I must preface it with “Work In Progress.” But I love to share the ideas I’ve found that work for…
This week in the Lessons in Hope series, I couldn’t wait to share the lesson I learned from the Kenyan people while travelling with the AWANA global team a few weeks back! From the moment that the team arrived in Kenya, I noticed the graciousness of our host, the AWANA…
