When Speaking the Truth Hurts: Disinformation, Family, and the Christian Call to Courage
I’m diving in because this matter–keeping the peace?–is too serious. In John 7:30, we read that the Pharisees sought to seize Jesus, but “no man laid hands on him, because his hour had not yet come.” Christ was never caught … Continue reading

Guarding Our Words: A Sinner’s Reflection on Girl Talk, Gossip, and Un-Godly Bloodletting!
I’m going to DIVE IN because there’s just no other way. I’ve written and rewritten this column too many times already but, honestly, as a Christian, a sinner, a woman with her sins constantly set before her, I’m spent. As … Continue reading

Letting Go So Our Kids Can Shine!
Yes, I tend to write about motherhood. A lot. Why? I was/am a stay-at-home mom who homeschooled her children so, writing aside, that’s what I know best. Being the youngest of eight children, as my readers already know, has also … Continue reading

Learning to Love: A Mother’s Seasoned Heart
As I watch snow finally melt outside my kitchen window, I sigh at the sound of confident piano practice. My grow son plays in the far side of the house. The distance lends perspective. The mellow tones make me smile … Continue reading

Be perfect. Read the Jesus Parts! (In scripture)
The new year is upon us, spurring thoughts of resolutions. What to do? Shall we pray more? Be kinder? Walk more? Eat less? Maybe we all take a deep breath and relax. We can do it all, however, perfectly. Yes, … Continue reading

Dare I Hope? In all things?
How many of us have fallen short of dreaming big for fear of disappointing ourselves? I’m not speaking of fame, fortune, or a power position at some Fortune 100 company. The hope I’m speaking of is that which we grasp … Continue reading

I’ll Take Patience Please!

Humble pie or humble power?
There was a day when I believed humble meant self-effacing. Never stepping forward. And refusing leadership roles because, well, a humble person would never, ever believe themselves capable. Wrong. If I’d had a humbler attitude early on, I may have … Continue reading

Pray Always? Are you kidding ?
How does one pray always in a state of increasing chaos? The storm is raging. Vice is oozing out all over. Satan has left off prowling thanks to a steady buffet of willing souls who foolishly believe there’s a party … Continue reading

The Sound of Silence

Break the Habit!
Some folks call them routines while others call them ruts. I’m talking about habits here. People tend to fall into patterns, however much we fancy ourselves as being unique. We’re all sheep, according to the Lord, and He would know. … Continue reading
