Books for the babes, blog for the Body!
Recently, I had a friend misunderstand me. Most likely, I spoke in a confusing way. We both love our Lord, and I mentioned the Lord seems to have led me back to the Catholic religion for a time. She took that to mean I was returning to that denomination, only because she was unaware that... Continue Reading →
Years ago my mom pointed out my sensitivity to music. She told me she noticed I would become irritable, depressed, angry, or downright sad while listening to country music. I told her that was ridiculous. Music didn't have any affect on my moods, but my mom planted a seed into my mind and gave me... Continue Reading →
Maybe I'm wrong, but I think every person must have seen at least one movie that included a man on a street corner holding a cardboard sign displaying a message about the end of the world. When I first came to know Jesus and what he saved me from, I mean when I was finally... Continue Reading →
If I were to take a swim in a pig pen, would I get disgusted responses from my friends and family? Would I be called names? Would it make my loved ones feel any better if I told them, “Don’t worry!

I quickly dismissed that, though, because I’m not really that great of a writer. I’m not eloquent in speech or extremely intelligent. Still, didn’t... Continue Reading →
The number one reason my husband and I decided to educate our son at home was because our Lord led us to that decision. We believe homeschooling was what God asked us to do. What, then, does homeschooling have to do with graves? A conversation about home educating was the beautiful paper and bow that... Continue Reading →
They were mine, but that's how I knew this was a dream from my Lord. I cannot sketch or paint well. I've never taken classes, so my artistic masterpieces consist of stick figures and arrows on Pictionary paper. Let me tell you my dream. Then the significance of these cartoon drawings will be clear. One... Continue Reading →
What once discouraged me now excites me! Conversations that were once a stumbling block for me, have now become an exciting opportunity. I was raised in a very legalistic denomination. I had friends that were from other denominations, but when I asked questions about what they believed and why, I became confused. Many of them... Continue Reading →
