So, be honest. Have you thought it too? Maybe even uttered it under your breath? “Here we go again…” Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths,but only what is helpful for building others upaccording to their needs,that it may benefit those who listen.Ephesians 4:29 It might be car repairs.

Name It
One of the things I love most about my walk with the Lord is how He is constantly teaching me something new. For the past few years, I have intentionally taken time at the end of December to pray and write down the losses of that year. I resisted the process at first because I …
Tickles In Our Tummies

Santa’s Cookies
I was a pretty obedient child but there is nothing like the anticipation of Santa’s arrival that can tempt even the most compliant child to push boundaries… My grandparents were visiting from Illinois that Christmas and our house was all a-buzz with the fun that grandparents bring to an already fun-filled season! That particular Christmas …

It was Christmas Eve 1971. The cookies were baked, decorated, and set out with a cold glass of milk. Right where Santa could find them! I hopped in bed, pulled the covers up close, and watched out the window, just hoping for a glimpse of Santa as he cruised the moonlit sky that night. It …

The mountain might be task-related, relational, health, financial, or any number of things. In those moments we must remind ourselves that our God is the God of that mountain! …
The Side Door
My husband and I often joke that our home’s front door is for appearances only. It is the garage door that is used far more. That gigantic beast is raised and lowered more times during the week than we can count. So much so that we are startled when someone actually knocks on the front …
Intentional
I’m a creature of habit. Each day I drive to work via the same route, park in the same area of the parking lot, enter through the same door, and climb the same set of stairs to my office. Because I am also a creature of clumsiness, I typically look down – watching the staircase …
