Yesterday, before the sunrise, my oldest child stood in front of his middle school peers and shared his story. The Fellowship of Christian Athletes (FCA) group meets once a week in the cafeteria before the first bell of the school day. One Wednesday each month they combine with another middle school FCA in town. They join their groupsContinue reading “One of those days.”

Cruise Control
“What on earth are you doing?” my dad asked from the passenger seat. “Did you have your cruise control set just now?” I sheepishly shrugged and admitted that I had. The clicking sound the brake pedal made when you pushed it to disengage the cruise control had given me away. Sneaky little tattletale! “I like to setContinue reading “Cruise Control”
On Dreaming Small.
Three years ago I wrote the blog post below entitled, “I’m Going to Dream Small This Year.” Today I reread it and decided to post it again. This is a major spoiler alert (it’s my blog, so I can spoil it if I want) but it’s about faithfully doing the little things in life. About dreamingContinue reading “On Dreaming Small.”
My Top 5 Blog Posts from 2016
I’ve spent a little time with Numbers today. We are not close, but we are on friendly terms. We just don’t click the way that Words and I do. But, Numbers proved to be loyal and hardworking once again. He also brought his buddy Statistics to the meeting. He was a little boring for my taste, butContinue reading “My Top 5 Blog Posts from 2016”
See Now.
Why do I have to use the scissors to cut the tape off this dispenser? It’s designed to tear off easily on these little pointy things. Annoying. Should I wrap these gifts in one box or separate them so he has two presents to open? Where did I put the scissors? How do I alwaysContinue reading “See Now.”
Gratitude through Gritted Teeth
I knew there was a fee to park at the venue where I was taking my two young daughters to the Disney Princesses on Ice show. But I forgot. Not until I was driving in to the large lot did it dawn on me that I had no cash. And they don’t accept credit cards for parking.Continue reading “Gratitude through Gritted Teeth”
Finding Sense In The Common.
I pull the spoon out of the dishwasher and stack it with its fellow tablemates in the drawer. My motions are robotic. I do this same thing almost every single day. It is such a common task that I don’t even have to concentrate on what I am doing. I push the clothes into theContinue reading “Finding Sense In The Common.”
That’s How the Cookie Crumbles
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”
