Coffee and great company. How could it get any better? My friend told me I was awesome. BAM! I’m all ears … tell me more :) Well, maybe she didn’t use those exact words, but she might as well have. My friend shared how much she appreciated me as a mom, having a special needs child,

I made it through car line yesterday morning in the nick of time. It was raining, and I was late getting out the door.  I made it to the back of the long car line, and as we inched closer to the school building, I kept my eye on the clock. The school has a

Sometimes, it is hard being a woman. I’m not talking about those particular “days of the month” if you know what I am saying.  I’m not even referring to labor. I’m also not talking about how many women not only work outside the home, but they also are the manager at home.  And believe it

It wasn’t about the sandwich. That may have been where the conversation started…but it wasn’t the real issue. For months I had been hearing about a kid who sits at my son’s lunch table.

As soon as the priests, who were carrying the ark of the covenant, set foot in the flood-level waters of the Jordan River, the water

I was probably in middle school when my dad bought me my first desk.  It was a beautiful cream-colored desk with a nice accordion-type cover to keep all my things private with different built-in sections.  I kept it for years. The desk sat in front of a window that faced our backyard, the part of

“Can you pray for me?” How many times a week…maybe even a day…do you hear that? It doesn’t just happen with your immediate circle of family & friends.  One peek on social media and you often encounter a whole other set of requests. And I love that. I love that people reach out to people for

As January draws to a close, so does our reading of Job and Genesis.  I do have to admit that I enjoyed reading both books.  I liked traversing back through Genesis and re-reading some of the stories that I remember from Sunday school, particularly the story of Abram. The friend of God.  God calls him out

My twelve year old son reminds me of someone I know. Me. People say we look alike, we definitely act alike, and we even think alike. It’s a little creepy. So I knew this past week’s visit to the orthodontist was not going to be fun. You see, we also share the same hypersensitive gag
