Have you ever had one of those dreams about being naked in a public place? I have! Not sure what that says about me. Just keeping it real. A young friend popped by yesterday wearing a t-shirt promoting a nutrition and exercise program. It said, “cause everybody...

The other night Scarlett decided she wanted to play the piano in the living room. Which was great except she was disturbing Henry who was watching a show and wanted to stay close to us all. I offered to set him up in our room to watch from the bed and thought...

In this new decade of 2020, as I draw a little closer to beginning my seventh one on planet earth, I am processing with intentionality. I’ve had a lot of growth spurts and each came with growing pains. Loss and regeneration. Despair and hope. My fallibility hidden in...

I’ve had a top notch job as Mama for 30 years. I knew it wouldn’t last forever. It is, after all, a job you really hope you work yourself out of. But I hadn’t thought much about my next. God began a good work that He’s promised to complete in me. I am confident that...
