The summer brings beautiful flowers, fresh breezes, and…. weddings! Weddings are a wonderful time to bless a new couple with long-lasting memories AND a few treasures. I think it is an extra touch to provide gifts that speak love and commitment into the lives of those receiving them. Today…
Hey there Friends! Monday has arrived once again and I’m excited to see how everyone is doing with the Bible Reading Challenge! I hope you are all enjoying the late spring/summer. Last week was the first week that my kids were out of school for the week, so we adapted…
If you ask my husband which Bible verses I quote the most, he will say “Proverbs 3:5&6” without a doubt. I just asked him across the room while I was typing this to verify my hunch. At that point, my oldest son says, “No, it’s Ephesians 6:1.” ha. Trust in…

Marriage is worth fighting for. Love is worth fighting for. While I didn’t fight hard enough for my first marriage, I no longer have the philosophy that I have to have a perfect record in a certain category of life in order to write about it. Mistakes have a way of…
In the past couple months, I have been doing more writing and less reading. I’d like to balance the two a little more evenly and so I set a goal. Because I’ve found that items you want to do are not accomplished by guesswork and hope. My friend texted me…

At our house, we’ve been counting down the number of school days remaining since spring break! Everyone is ready for more baseball games, camp, and THE POOL! Hooray! Last year I wrote this little summer creed for parents because I needed it myself. Just a reminder that summer is a…
