Mother’s Day was certainly unique this year due of the COVID-19 pandemic. For me, the week leading up to Mother’s Day was interesting as it was full of video interviews and preparations for various opportunities to share my story. I recorded an interview with a local pastor (and friend of mind) for his Mother’s DayContinue reading “My Week of Interviews – And Sharing One with You!”

On Fear and Falling Shoes
Hi friends, With the current state of our world, and the unknown effects of the Coronavirus, many people are gripped with fear and anxiety. I get it. I can fall into the same trap, and it’s a dreadful way to live! But, there are truths we can remind ourselves of to help us guard againstContinue reading “On Fear and Falling Shoes”
On Lines and Love
My recliner tipped slightly to the right as my daughter placed her elbows and weight on the armrest. She was on her knees beside the chair, and her face was inches from mine. I turned my head to study her preteen face. The braces, the glasses, the innocence. “Mom,” she said. “What do I doContinue reading “On Lines and Love”
Read the Directions.
It is no secret that I am a poor navigator. I have written about the GPS lady and how she has tried to cause issues within my marriage. I have shared about my personal Bermuda Triangle, and I’ve heard from many of you that I am not alone in my need for landmark descriptions whenContinue reading “Read the Directions.”
Why It Is Okay To Live An Ordinary Life
Have you ever felt like your days are just mundane, ordinary, and without the excitement you see in the lives of those around you? I’m so sorry. Sometimes, I feel that way too. One of the “Slices of Hope” from my book, If Only It Were a Piece of Cake, is: “Without the ordinary, thereContinue reading “Why It Is Okay To Live An Ordinary Life”
Outside the Ministry Zone – When God Leads You Down a Desert Road
Have you ever learned something new only to then read your own journal or notes and realize it isn’t actually the first time you’ve learned that very thing? You’ve learned this before, you just forgot! Yeah, me too. It happened to me again this week. I was doing my “homework” for BSF (Bible Study Fellowship).Continue reading “Outside the Ministry Zone – When God Leads You Down a Desert Road”
How I define success. (Now THAT’S a great name!)
I held my phone in my hand and glanced down to see her message waiting for me. I sensed her desire for a solid answer she could grasp onto as well. “I hate feeling like I’m running in the dark with this thing. Like what’s good, what’s not so good?” She was wanting a definitionContinue reading “How I define success. (Now THAT’S a great name!)”
What the Bible Taught Me About Writing
I’ve written two books. I blog. Occasionally, I summarize my thoughts into 280 characters and tweet them to everybody and nobody. I post updates on Facebook and “The Gram” (as I heard a cool twenty-something call it). I’ve even written a children’s Bible curriculum. No, this isn’t my resume. The point I’m trying to make is,Continue reading “What the Bible Taught Me About Writing”
Fruit•it•ta•tion
I turned my back to the class of fifth graders in order to write their responses on the marker board. The chatter continued behind me. I had placed the students from my midweek church class into groups and had asked each to read from Genesis in their Bibles to discover what God made during eachContinue reading “Fruit•it•ta•tion”
Home Base.
When I was 10 years old, my dad took the position of pastor at Emmanuel Community Church. Six weeks later, my mom died suddenly in our kitchen while sitting at the table. She had been reading a book, and drinking a cup of coffee when she began to collapse. Needless to say, it was aContinue reading “Home Base.”
