I’m trying something new today! A friend, who is an amazing writer and blogger at Poets And Saints, encouraged me to try Five Minute Friday where you write for 5 minutes about a topic that is given to you and then you link up with other bloggers who did the same. Each Friday there is aContinue reading “The Longest Temporary.”

How Do You Teach Your Kids About The Bible?
Pastors’ kids. You know the ones. Stereotypically, they come in one of two forms. Either they’re sporting black finger nail polish, tattoos, and piercings making them look as holey as Swiss cheese, or they’re the other kind of holy. Perfect little angels who have the New Testament memorized and have a rainbow-colored collection of WWJDContinue reading “How Do You Teach Your Kids About The Bible?”
Thoughts on Cancer and Magic Johnson
I’m not a Magic Johnson fan, but that doesn’t really matter. I am, however, a huge fan of biographies. You can put a book or documentary about almost anyone in front of me and I’m hooked. I love to learn about people’s stories. Therefore, when a documentary about Magic Johnson was on our television oneContinue reading “Thoughts on Cancer and Magic Johnson”
Safety Pin Surgeon
My daughter had been watching me and was disappointed in my reaction. She had been hoping to witness a little drama and excitement… and possibly tears. But there were no tears involved. Instead I was quite stoic and the emotions of my face were of self-pride and relief. I had just performed a minor surgery onContinue reading “Safety Pin Surgeon”
My Heart Will Go On.
Author Elizabeth Stone is quoted as saying, “Making the decision to have a child is momentous. It is to decide forever to have your heart go walking around outside your body.” I would add that watching the kindergarten-sized version of that heart get on the bus for the first time is just plain painful. AtContinue reading “My Heart Will Go On.”
8 Things My Dad Taught Me
It happened again just recently. A new friend was asking about my family and when she learned that my dad was the pastor at a local church she said, “Oh! You’re Denny’s daughter?!” Yep. I’m Denny’s daughter. I’ve been known that way all of my life. It used to get on my nerves to beContinue reading “8 Things My Dad Taught Me”
A Pain Around the Neck
Almost every Spring for the majority of our marriage my husband has hosted a fundraising banquet for his local ministry, the Fellowship of Christian Athletes. And, being the good wife that I am, I buy him a new tie every year for the event. I know, I’m pretty sweet. What’s more, I don’t just buy any tie,Continue reading “A Pain Around the Neck”
If You Give Your Grandma An iPad
Perhaps you’ve heard of the lovely line of children’s books called the “If You Give” series. We personally own “If You Give A Mouse and Cookie” and “If You Give a Cat a Cupcake.” They are adorable circular tales in which you follow the consequences of what shenanigans would ensue if you were, to indeed,Continue reading “If You Give Your Grandma An iPad”
Tell Me A Story
I sat across the table from a gentleman with slumped shoulders and a cardigan. He wore his more than 80 years on his wrinkled face. Beside him was another similar-looking man who was putting ketchup on his onion rings, and beside him was a grey-haired woman. The seats at our rectangular table were full ofContinue reading “Tell Me A Story”
GPS is bad for your marriage.
I am not exaggerating to say that my husband and I have a harmonious relationship. We rarely get to the point of raising our voices with one another or driving each other insane. We are pretty laid back and get along great. However, there is a formula that we’ve discovered in our thirteen years of marriageContinue reading “GPS is bad for your marriage.”
