God granted me another dream a few months after the pickup dream. My daughter, my son, and I were in a four door car driving on a two lane highway up a mountain. There was no shoulder on the highway, and the road was very steep and surprisingly straight. There was no snow on the... Continue Reading →
As I try to remember the many golden lessons I've learned from the Bible, I cannot recall a verse that mentions pizza. I would totally relate to a chapter where the disciples could kick back, relax, and take a break over a slice of pizza. After all, they had quite a steep learning curve and... Continue Reading →
Jesus cares. God cares; they care about everything. As I look back I am surprised how little and unimportant some of my prayers were, but my Lord still cared and answered. He loves us that much. God loves us so much that what is important to us is important to him. Even if it means... Continue Reading →
Surprises are fun! Well, at least they are when I don't know about them! If I know about them, then they drive me nuts. My overactive brain tries to measure and reason constantly until I can figure out the surprise, which I never do. I love to give surprises, too, but I honestly have a... Continue Reading →

My first year scouting fields without the help of a spouse had me worried. Daycare was going to be expensive. Time was going to be a precious commodity, and I was going to have to be very patient and gentle with my children because I knew I would be physically exhausted. I prayed for help...

I worked as an agronomist. That meant I walked corn and soybean fields in the growing season, and delivered weekly reports to farmers regarding when to water, fertilize, and otherwise manage their crop production. Being an agronomist also meant I was covered in mud, dirt, pollen, and bugs for most of the year. One day... Continue Reading →
In my years of struggle and heartache, I developed a low self-esteem. I became very good at hiding my lack of confidence. However, my pastor knew because he was counselling me at the time. My pastor gave me the homework of looking in the mirror every day and telling myself I was beautiful. I tried,... Continue Reading →
My life serves as a kind of comedy with a lesson! I have noticed my Lord loves to make me eat my words. Our Father has a great sense of humor as well, which I think sometimes ties back into making me eat my words! However, every time I have tried to debate God or... Continue Reading →
