We had a really blessed time with my husband’s longtime friend, Addis, and his family who visited us this last week from Texas.

Church planting requires all hands on deck, including little ones in training.
What a privilege it is to serve with those that love the Lord, desire the Word, and long to be His hands and feet. Doug Wilson has said, “You measure success by faithfulness to God–does the next generation want to do it [...]

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 [...]

No one seems to know, but the Lord…and that’s okay. Yet, when you stumble upon words that seem to have flowed from your own [...]

Contrary to the images of warmth, family, and laughter one might see on television ads around this time of year, the holidays are often a time of sadness for some people. I have, for most of my life, been one of those people. The pandemonium of finding the “perfect” gift, of expressing how [...]

Some would not envy my life as a pastor’s wife. Relationships, counseling, working weekends, spiritual warfare, expectations from others, expectations from yourself, expectations upon your children, around-the-clock ministry, receptivity to your husband’s preaching: these all come to anyone’s mind when I say that I’m married to a preacher.
