I have always wanted to do something amazing for advent…you know, like a pocket calendar, prizes behind opened doors, or a paper chain counting down the days…something fun to teach the kids about the Christmas season. I have wanted a way to build anticipation for Christmas, and to spend intentional time together focusing on the real reason we […]
We Have Hope in Failure {Because of Him}
I broke the speed limit yesterday. And last week I turned left when the sign said not to. I omit details sometimes to make my point more convincing, and I justify my own desires by lying to myself that they are noble.

Bible in 90 Days {Finish}

Trading Poverty for Wealth…One Verse at a Time
The morning sun gleamed through the wood shutters as I settled myself into my regular spot on the couch, the spot I’ve grown familiar with…the place where we meet…where I read and I talk, and listen and ponder and grow.

Cease Striving and KNOW that He is God
I’m joining Lisa-Jo, over at one of my favorite sites today, to take five minutes and just write without worrying if it’s just right or not. The challenge is to write for 5 minutes flat with no editing, tweaking or self critiquing, with the prompt she gives. And today, her prompt: Still…. Go! […]
Daily Words
I have gone to church all my life, and have been familiar with the Bible. I have attended, participated, worked, and served at church. I graduated from a private Christian University while attending chapel services 3 times each week, and on Sundays, I served at church in the morning and in the evening, and went on several missions […]
