My entire pharmacy career has been within the walls of a grocery store…and girl, it sure has its perks. 24/7 access to sushi, Starbucks, and warm chocolate chip cookies. Not to mention a ginormous chip aisle and plenty of produce! My mid-shift snack options are endless!  Plus, I don’t need to make an extra stop

It’s been a weird month. A few weeks ago, I got a phone call from my husband. He was at the car dealership taking care of a recall…and he just so happened to run into someone we hadn’t seen in twenty years! The pastor who conducted our wedding! (He was also my youth pastor in

Reading through the Bible in a year always seems like a great idea…but a few weeks into the New Year, the glamour and excitement of it all begins to fade. And once I get to Book #3 out of 66, I start to wonder, what have I gotten myself into. There is something so intimidating

Oh, the woes of autocorrect! My cousin and I were finalizing plans to meet up. My phone ding’d. I had just texted him so I was expecting his response…but I surely wasn’t expecting THIS response. What in the world? I read it again. And then again. The sentence made sense…I guess. But was that four

Have you ever googled something you should have been praying about? I am ashamed to say. I have. And it wasn’t that long ago. My head was spinning, my heart was heavy and I was at a complete loss for what to do. It involved people…and drama (which I try to run from…but couldn’t).  So

It was my youngest son’s second day of work. He joined his big brother and I at a nearby grocery store. I work in the pharmacy, and he works up front. He’s the guy who asks if you want paper or plastic then kindly takes your groceries out to your car. I couldn’t be more

Last night, as I pulled into my subdivision after work, I noticed a couple of guys attempting to change a flat tire. I walked inside my house and sat down. My husband asked me about my day and then proceeded to ask if I had seen a couple of kids on our street trying to
