This morning in church we studied the passage in Luke 18:16 where Jesus says, “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these. Such as these. Children. Kids see things from a different perspective than adults. At some point as we get olderContinue reading “That’s How the Cookie Crumbles”

Is this going to be on the test?
I’m a big fan of mnemonic devices. I know that may sound a little intimidating. I promise, I’m not going to hurt you. A mnemonic device isn’t a weapon, it’s a tool. Big difference. According to Wikipedia, a mnemonic device is “any learning technique that aids information retention in the human memory.” I’ve got manyContinue reading “Is this going to be on the test?”
Miscarriage: A Story of Loss and Love
I originally posted this story three years ago. In fact, the ultrasound appointment I refer to was exactly three years ago today, October 4th, 2013. I remember, because I had so looked forward to that date! Kraig and I had hidden this pregnancy from everyone because we wanted to tell our children first. I wasContinue reading “Miscarriage: A Story of Loss and Love”
The Eyes of the Beholder
I remember holding my infant daughter one day and being struck with a realization about beauty. Although I believed I looked like “death warmed over” in my sweat pants, greasy hair and smeared make-up, her eyes reflected a different woman. She looked up at me as though I was the most beautiful creature she’d ever seen.Continue reading “The Eyes of the Beholder”
Our Marriage Needs A Prefix.
Last night I told my husband that I miss him. And he nodded in agreement as he sat beside me. We are together a lot. But our moments of non-distracted, non-exhausted, non-sick, non-stressed, non-necessary, non-rushed, non-interrupted communication are slim. We need those little nons in our marriage. But they’re elusive little prefixes. We striveContinue reading “Our Marriage Needs A Prefix.”
The Visible Woman
Her real name is Susan Storm Richards, but most know her better by her alias: The Invisible Woman. According to Marvel Comic’s website, this member of the Fantastic Four has powers that allow her to “render herself wholly or partially invisible at will.” This could be handy. There are moments when I’d enjoy being invisible.Continue reading “The Visible Woman”
Today’s Bucket List.
When my kids were little, we owned a toy that I liked, yet didn’t. It was educational, so that earned it some points, but it also was comprised of several pieces, for which I had to deduct some points in the clean-up category. Had it played a song and used eight “C” batteries it would have earned a negativeContinue reading “Today’s Bucket List.”
Temporarily derailed.
I walked through my kitchen this week and the sight I beheld across the room into my family room caused me to stop dead in my tracks. My body’s physical reaction is difficult to put into words. It was mixture of nauseous and weakness along with a heightend sense of adrenaline. Cue the emotional and dreadfulContinue reading “Temporarily derailed.”
Where I Want To Be.
My left hand rested on the top of the steering wheel freeing my other hand to hold the warm travel coffee mug. Through the speakers the morning weatherman projected a mix of sun and storms. Seemed about right. A new front was moving in. Late August meant the seasons were about to change. Summer wasContinue reading “Where I Want To Be.”
5 Outsider Observations about the 2016 ACFW Conference
Here’s the deal. I write non-fiction. For those of you who slept through Language Arts, or are accountants, that means I write about things based on facts, real events, and real people. Fiction writers, on the other hand, write about things that are imagined, though they may be portrayed in such a way they feelContinue reading “5 Outsider Observations about the 2016 ACFW Conference”
