Okay, it’s pretty clear that I love to read Christian books written by women. I’ve been sharing them with you as I discover them. I also love blogs and social media accounts that inspire and lead people to Christ. Of course I would, it’s what I hope to do with mine. But I’ve noticed a

The Mirror Moment
I don’t know anymore. I hear them say the country is going to hell in a hand basket. And I think but God… I listen to reports of protesting and fear and anger. People imagining a particular outcome is certain doom. And I think but God…. I hear of church corruption and abuse and people

In the New Year, I Will Wear Jeans That Fit
I was trying on jeans the other day. I found a box with a bunch from years past and I tried them all on. Every brand was in there. And every size. All the styles…skinny, flared, boot cut, boyfriend, ripped, cropped, light, dark, stretchy, bedazzled. They represent all the different phases of my life. There

Go ahead, surprise me…
Since I’m a blogger, I really want to write about everything. I experience things and when they are powerful or meaningful in some way, I want to share them. But lately I’ve started wondering if God intends some things to just be for me. If He frowns upon me running to my computer to upload

First, I’ll wave it under the tree and presents will appear. Then, I’ll wave it over the presents I have already purchased and they will be wrapped beautifully. Then

Community
I have tried for the last few days to write something. I don’t know what to write. A 14 year old girl in our community was brutally murdered last week. I can’t stop thinking about her. I can’t stop thinking about her mom. I didn’t know her and I don’t know her mom but

History
My son asked me to take him to the Field Museum to see the 9/11 exhibit. This is an interesting request from a 3rd grader. I told him it will be sad. He said, “I know Mom but I love to learn about history”. That’s where we are now. 9/11 is “history”. I can’t believe
