Just Straightening Things Out
Proverbs 3:5-7 “Trust in the Lordwith all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.” Here I go again, another lesson/thought from a not so ordinary place. This will now be the fourth...
To Wake or not to Wake
Okay, I’ve noticed a pattern and have had confessions made. It’s summer time. Yes! Teens like to sleep in every chance they get. I get it! But, Holly told me the other day, when I thought that she was just rolling out of bed at the crack of noon, that she’s been...
Shining Light

Life is short
Yesterday. Yesterday happened just like any other day. Yesterday has now come and gone. Yesterday was a day our family reflected on a loved one. Yesterday was my mother-in-law’s birthday. Jany would have been a young 64 years of age. Many emotions, growth,...
Insta-gospel
A little over a month ago I was looking at my youngest child’s Instagram. Cole doesn’t post most, follow many, or have many followers, but when he posted a picture referencing God, he received the most “likes” he’s ever gotten. He was so excited! I casually told...
