Week's beginning with thanks

Because I was unplugged all weekend, teaching God’s glorious Word to some beautiful women in Southern Oregon, I wasn’t able to write Week’s End With Thanks.  But I cannot begin the week without it–praise God for His faithfulness, His blessings to us can’t even be counted! Thanks for letting me begin the week this way–perhaps […]

One Another Challenge: 31 days to friendship God's way (2)

Happy Memorial Day! How was the first week of the One Another Challenge? I found the word “challenge” appropriate. It was interesting how God truly “challenged” me in the particular one-another of each day. Relationships are rich, fulfilling, rewarding, and … challenging. How about you? What have you discovered during our first week? *Just joining us? […]

One Another Challenge: 31 Days to Friendship God's Way

Encourage one another daily.  Hebrews 3:13 Happy Monday! I’ve been so excited to begin this challenge and today is the day! We’re kicking off a theme on Friendship, and we’ll be looking together on what God’s plan for friendship is, how to be better friends, and where to look for true, godly, rich friendships. I cannot tell […]

Week's end with thanks

Hilarious kids. Blessed breakthrough day after feeling a few blah weeks. Prayer. Amazing sisters. The treat of a Starbucks coffee. My man up with me early. Quiet time under a quilt. Clean house. De-cluttering. Heidi graduating from her little potty to the big potty. Big girl! Our Thursday night dance party. Heidi doing “‘nastics class”: […]

Week's end with (your) thanks

So the more I got to thinking this week the more I thought it’s just not fair that I do all the writing and you do all the reading *smile* … So can we make this week’s list of thanks together? And, I’ll admit, the week was full and it’s late and I’m pooped. Can […]

The Best of My Days {January}

For Christmas a friend gave me a beautiful and unique hand-made gift: The Best of My Days. Twelve simple pages, labeled for each month, with long and narrow and numbered space for each day. Just enough room to write a few words for each day of the year — the best of my days. I […]

F is for Fame

Twice this week I heard stories of fame’s deadly grip.  First, a friend, who has another friend in the throes of a tragic situation. The essence of the tragedy? Fame.  Someone’s fame so twisting their mind and perspective that their reality is warped. And everyone around them loses. Then tonight Jeff and I watched Walk […]

F is for Fringe Hours

It is late as I write this. Way late. I’m a 9pm bedtime girl and let’s just say it’s not 9pm.  I’m undertaking a little writing project, which is exciting to me because I love to write more than just about anything else in the world.  Apparently more than sleep.  But last night in a […]
