My parents have a sign in their home that simply says, “All of our visitors bring happiness. Some by coming, others by going.“ I am not sure who the “others” are but I am hoping I am not one of them. In a day when no one is really coming or going anywhere, there is […]
This is me, walking down the aisle toward something that was uncertain. I mean, I had never been married before. In fact, I had just really gotten to know the man at the end of the aisle for less than a year. And I was about to make a life-long commitment. It felt a little […]
How has the past month been for you? *If you’ve read 10 books or finally caught up on “This Is Us”, Jesus loves you. ??♀️ *If your kids have made straight A’s while you homeschooled or made a mess in your house, Jesus loves you. ??♀️ *If you have cooked 5-course dinners or made macaroni […]
There is a bird that lives in the trees behind my house. It’s not my bird; it doesn’t even live in my yard. But I know it’s there. Every morning, from March until November, at the first glimmer of dawn, this bird starts to sing. It starts off with a few notes and within an […]
I stood in front of my computer at work and thanked God for what I saw. Who would have thought the sight of a few packs of toilet paper on aisle 10 would make my heart so happy? Like many of you, I have a new perspective on so many things now…including God’s provision throughout […]

A few nights ago, I had a dream. In my dream, I was alone, trying to find my way home in a very bad storm. I knew that my journey home was going to be a long one- I was going from Galveston (a beach town on the coast of Texas) back home to Plano […]
I have worked at a grocery store for twenty five years…and just when I thought I had seen it all- last week happened! It was like a scene from a movie, a social experiment and a crazy dream- all in one. Chances are, you saw it too. Empty meat, milk and toilet paper aisles. Even […]
I have been encouraged by many of the posts I’ve been seeing on social media…and like many of you, my family is also trying to make the most out of this somewhat forced Sabbatical season we are in. Earlier this week I cleaned out my fridge and made an apple cobbler with a few apples […]
On a scale of 1 to 10, my athletic ability is probably a negative 5. (Yeah, I’m that bad) Needless to say, any childhood dream of becoming a cheerleader, gymnast or ice skater came to an end before it even began. BUT for the past 12 years, I have lived the life of an athlete… […]
Raising Godly Children
"Mama, is this the best coffee you've ever had?" I was sipping the cup she brewed using our machine. It was complete with cream, sugar and all. "It's good!" "But... it's not the best?" she
