I am a wife, mother, daughter, sister and friend! I desperately want to morph my life into a journey that glorifies God and makes Him proud. I am not a bible scholar, a pastor, a teacher or a person who is qualified to counsel or guide. However, God has given me the gift of gab and a talent to write, so I have decided to do what I do best to help others. I hope you will give me grace, as I'm sure I will make plenty of mistakes during this adventure! When we honestly ask ourselves which person in our lives means the most to us, we often find that it is those who, instead of giving advice, solutions, or cures, have chosen rather to share our pain and touch our wounds with a warm and tender hand. – Henri Nouwen Living well is often based […]

In fact, Webster’s Dictionary defines honor as high regard or respect (noun) and adherence to principles considered right (verb). As always, it gets a little tricky when […]

We are on the home stretch! Today is Election Day, so that means we won’t have to watch those annoying commercials anymore. Yippee! But guess what? That means there will be a winner and a loser. AND someone (probably lots of someones) will think that the sky is falling depending on which side they happen […]

As Easter draws near, I’ve been wondering why I’ve chosen to follow this man, Jesus Christ, and His teachings. Is it because I was raised this way? Is it because I want to go to Heaven? Is it because I fear the alternatives? Or is it something else? After much soul searching, I’ve come to […]

Recently, I tried to read The Girl with a Dragon Tattoo. I got bored with all of the character details within the first 70 pages and set it down to wait for the movie. My husband, Lee, then picked it up and read the whole book while giving me a play-by-play of the events as […]

I love to dance. My mother-in-law loves to watch Dancing with the Stars. We make quite a pair when we sit down to watch an episode. She adores the costumes and shoes and I have to sit on my legs to keep myself from jumping off the couch whenever a fast tune twirls the dancers […]

Tuesday morning was nice and quiet. My husband and boys were all gone for the day and I was on my way to a lovely day filled with time to get things done without the constant interruptions I normally encounter. Then it all went south. The ‘insecurity creeps’ set up shop in my head and […]

Obsession has infiltrated our culture. Images, ideas and thoughts race through our heads about everything from celebrities, television shows, weight, careers, money, sex, movies and kids to any number of items on a regular basis at a speed that is mind-blowing. We must be pretty bored if juicy gossip about people we don’t even know […]
