“Stupid doesn’t fix stupid” (pardon my French )….but I thought to share with you the profound advice I gave to my 14 year old son this past week. He filled me in on a dispute he had with a difficult classmate, and after hearing the details of the situation, I agreed that he had every
My son was sick a few weeks ago. He is hardly sick, and we were having a hard time figuring out what was wrong. All that he could specify was that his stomach was hurting. The nights were especially rough. He was unable to sleep and spent most of the night curled up in a
My husband has a special styling routine for my son’s hair before school. When it is completed, my son will walk to me and receive the usual compliment, “Wow! You look so handsome!” He got used to this routine of the styling and Mommy’s comment afterward. After some time, I got busy when he came
I have found myself in unchartered territory lately: enjoying time for a hot shower, to style my hair, apply my make up, AND coordinate a pretty outfit.

Last Friday, my morning started off like any other. Actually, it didn’t. My coffee maker decided to stop working. I had woken up late and grumpily problem solved my way to a cup of coffee. I should have taken that as a warning for the rest of my day. After work, I had committed to
A few years ago, I was shocked to discover that I had failed a major exam that I had spent months studying for. As I sat in front of the computer that displayed my result, I felt absolutely devastated. I knew I needed to retake it and didn’t know how I could study for it
My first car. My initial earnings from my first job, which felt like blood, sweat, and tears, went towards this major purchase. My car traveled across the country from the Big Apple to the Lone Star state. It transported each of our newborn children home from the hospital. Not to mention the instruments and youth
Let’s Read the Bible – All Of It
