Those Little Blessings

I am so not a morning person. I am not a person who looks at a sunrise in wonder, unless I’ve been up all night and wonder how it happened , and I wake up and plead with my family not to speak. Please be quiet, please. My husband wakes up and smiles and asks [...]

A Day Off

Yes, I get ONE! Despite what most people think about those of us who work in ministry,  we don’t just hang out all week and preach for an hour on Sunday, there is lots of church work to do. Plus, I have mom duties and daughter duties and wife duties and church duties and me [...]

Addicted To Chaos

We all know that person, it’s not any of us reading this today, but we all have that friend……yeah, that’s it, that friend who is addicted to chaos. They aren’t happy unless there is drama. If you ask them how they are, you had better be prepared for the dramatic answer. They are always fighting [...]

Fat Dumb and Not So Happy

I was listening to Dr. Oz today on Alzheimers and its correlation to obesity. It seems that according to his radio program about 50% of all Americans over the age of 85 will have this disease. 50%. Half. That number seems incredible. The fact that we are living longer means we want to have more [...]

The Military Channel

As much as I try to understand the male mind I don’t always get the stuff that comes into their mind. My husband watches The Military Channel all the time while he’s working late nights on his sermons. So the other night I was looking great. I am not one of those wives who wears [...]

Pocket Full Of Sunshine

Today as you go about your day think about the place where you go when it seems like the world is coming unglued. That secret place. I go sit at the feet of my Father. How about you?

How Can A Woman Not Love The Lord?

My friend Cynthia (hi Cynthia!) sent this email to me and it was powerful. I’d like to take each point once a week and expand on it. As I do, first think about how much God loves you. Next, for you who are single, pay attention to God’s attributes. After that, each time you date [...]

If The Shoe Fits

Ah, shoes and me go together! Except for bed I wear them all the time. There is a shoe store that has rows and rows and rows of shoes and I like to go through each and every row, try shoes on and walk around. Right now, me and a pair of Carlos Santanas have [...]

I Don’t Know

“Mommy can I have a cookie?” Casey came running to ask me one day when she was three years old. My answer: “Not right now, because it’s too close to lunch. After lunch you may have one.” “Okay”, she answered. I remember this day clearly; I was busy changing sheets on all the beds at [...]

The BP Guy

The Back Pew Guy, Jeff Larson, is a daily read for me. He’s a great writer, he’s funny and has the best cartoons! He sees things from a different perspective and that always makes me think and smile. Today I have posted one of his articles, as well as the link to sign up to [...]
