Last Monday evening we had some severe weather roll through our area. I was getting dinner ready and had told the kids to come inside from playing. My husband had gone out to run an errand and my phone started blowing up with people checking on us due to the storms. My town does not […]

I remember it so clearly.  My 7th grade science class had the privilege of going on a field trip to the zoo.  I was so excited because I knew that not every class was able to go.  And I was really looking forward to a day away from my regular old classroom. But in my […]

He initiated the conversation, and he was beyond transparent. Without my husband or I even asking, our friend told us everything…and it wasn’t pretty. My stomach was in knots.  As he went through the details, all I could think of is, how does someone get themselves into this kind of situation?  2 Samuel 11:1 came […]

Among the life lessons learned particularly from the pandemic is that tomorrow is not guaranteed.  In fact, you may be familiar with this quote by Eleanor Roosevelt: “Today is a gift. That’s why we call it the present.” From the time we moved to Texas, we have done our best to go back and visit […]

So I did a thing two weeks ago. I wore a costume.  While that may not sound like much of an accomplishment, it is for me because the last time I wore one was when I was five years old. I guess you could say that it has just never been in my comfort zone. […]

In Titus 2:5, Paul encourages older women (that’s me ) to teach younger women (that might be you) how to ‘stay busy’ or as some translations put it, ‘maintain a home’…and girls, part of maintaining a home might involve a little cooking.  So, if you’re in need of a South Indian dinner idea, and you […]
