My love turns thirty five today. He is currently in Spain, spending his birthday planning and ministering on behalf of our church with hopes of starting some ministries there this summer. While absence forges the heart fonder, the many would-be hours spent with the one you love quickly converts to thoughts upon thoughts [...]

Our ladies’ Bible Study at church just completed a study through Feminine Appeal, Seven Virtues of A Godly Wife and Mother, by Carolyn Mahaney. It was my second or third time through the book, but first time leading a group of mostly younger gals who have been married under five years. I think [...]

Grieving. I have far less experience than some with the process. For a woman of many words, my lips fall silent here in the midst of sympathy, sadness, and grief. Our dear friends have lost someone very special this week. The Lord gives and the Lord takes away. I can’t [...]

My husband and I love sushi. If you are a sushi lover, you understand this amorous affair. Besides being the most fantastic combinations of flavor and texture, sushi is, in its own right, art. Each hand-crafted piece is meant to be savored. Sushi’s fragility requires that you simply place the entire [...]

Today is day two of our long-awaited week-long vacation to Durango and Ouray, Colorado. When you’ve been dreaming about something for a long, long time you tend to have unsurmountable expectations by the time you arrive.

Silence is golden. It’s the priciest commodity around our house at least…especially when the house goes for a drive in the car. I’m sure you know how it is–everyone sounding out all at the same time in an enclosed space. One child persistently asking to listen to [...]
