  • Fully Alive!

    It’s back to school season, and our outside activities are all slowly starting. The two I am most excited about are our church’s time of Bible study/worship/prayer for women, and our ministry for moms & children. Today, I’m excited to introduce you to this ministry arm of our church, called…

  • Dark, but Lovely

    Do you ever have days when you get angry with your kids or husband and then spiral down into shame over your behavior afterward? Or maybe you overeat again and are angry with yourself. Unable to cope with the fact that you messed up again, your thoughts dwell on your…

  • True Christian Fellowship

    There are many people in my generation who desire community and fellowship that goes beyond the surface level of life. I hear often, “We don’t have any community,” or, “I wish we had deeper fellowship.”  I’ve been there. There have been seasons in my life when I’ve felt very alone…

  • Weekend Reading – 8/2/13

    Pressure Cookers, Backpacks, and Quinoa–oh my! – A very interesting article about a family  that was visited by Big Brother due to internet searches they’ve done in their home. Who Am I to Judge? The Pope, the Press, and the Predicament – “The Pope now finds himself locked in a…

    What’s at Stake with Internet Pornography – An excellent must-read by Dr. Moore.  “One doesn’t have to be to sense the spirit of this age. In our time, pornography is the destroying angel of (especially male) Eros, and it’s time the Church faced the horror of this truth.” Become a…

  • Abiding in the Lord

    My favorite time of day is just after rolling out of bed and getting something hot to drink. I quietly pad out to my deck with Bible, journal, pens, and adoration sheet in hand.  It’s early, before the sun crests over the horizon, and it’s quiet. I love starting my…

  • Happy Anniversary

    Today, Blane and I have been married for nine years. In many respects, this seems like peanuts! We know people who have been married 40+ years, which sounds like a very long time compared to our nine. But in our culture–even in the Christian culture, that has sadly veered from…

  • Weekend Reading 5/10/13

    It’s that time of the week again!  There are several articles that I appreciated this week. In fact, I’d label them all “must reads.”  If I had time, I’d give commentary on them all! A New Wave of Complementarianism – Very interesting article. Read this one after! But don’t stop…

  • Becoming a Titus Two Woman

    I am currently immersed in the business of mommy-hood.  Feeling the press in from every angle, I parent without much  help .  I was not raised with a Biblical framework, and so my early mommy years have been spent divided.  The irony is, I’ve been busy growing up while at…
