Books for the babes, blog for the Body!
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 →
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...

This blog isn't about the trials in my life; it isn't even about me. What our heavenly Father has done for me, and in me, during the hard times has left this part of my life like a treasure trove of priceless gems. I once joked with my friends that the learning curve God had... Continue Reading →
In the book of Acts Jesus tells the disciples to wait until they receive power from on high (Acts 1:4). They obeyed, not sure what they were waiting for, or what it would look like. A while later they heard a sound like a mighty wind, and saw what looked like tongues of fire on... Continue Reading →
I used to be very close minded. Something was either black or white, hot or cold, right or wrong. My strong but faulty opinions left no wiggle room. I didn't realize it at the time, but I was a perfect example of a life without grace. I was a person who valued achievement over relationship.... Continue Reading →
In the wake of my second divorce I held onto my Lord as though he was a rope, and I was dangling over the Grand Canyon. At that point in time I had read the Bible, attended Bible study, and had been walking with my Lord for about seven years. I knew enough to hold... Continue Reading →
