I often complain about being out of shape. I have a myriad of excuses for why I find myself gasping for breath on a hike with my long-legged husband or taking an occasional jog with a friend. It’s not that I don’t exercise; I do. In fact, I made it through an [...]

Paul was nearing the end of his life when he wrote these words: “Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners–of whom I am the worst” (1 Timothy 1:15). We realize that our sins as Christians, though perhaps not as outwardly gross as before, are more heinous in the sight of God because [...]

I hate to be sick. Coughing, shivering, sinus pressure, achiness, fatigue of body, fatigue of mind…do I sound like an Advil commercial yet?

One of my best friends from college is having a baby boy next month. It will be her first. She is a musician, a writer, a comfort-food cook, encourager in Christ, and a loyal girlfriend. Naturally, I’m subjecting her to one of my homemade maternity gifts. The homemade part was mandatory, [...]
