I keep a Bible Study and Prayer notebook.  Since I’m a note taker, it’s the perfect place to store those notes from sermons, workshops, and books.  As I read Scripture, I jot down verses that strike me, how it applies to me or life in general, and prayers it leads me to.  Yesterday, I was [...]

Have you ever experienced rereading a well known passage in Scripture (almost with boredom because you know it so well) when, suddenly, words hit you differently?  Nothing’s new.  Nothing’s changed.  God just shined His light on His Word touching your heart in a whole new way. That just happened to me.  God used some “old” [...]

I wanted to share with you the blessing I just received in the hopes it blesses you too.  See, on Sunday, I experienced God’s Word washing over my heart bringing some healing I didn’t know I still needed.  Years of worry and stress had caused more damage than I realized.  It was the words of [...]

I received my Family Christian Stores sales event flier this week in the mail.  I was enjoying skimming the titles and reading the little blurbs about the books that caught my eye when I stumbled upon the title “The Christian Atheist” by Craig Groeschel.  Maybe you’ve already read this book.  If you have I’d love [...]

It’s usually easier for [...]

(First article of a two part series.) What’s going on?  You didn’t ask for this!  You don’t remember ever signing up to be shot at with fiery darts or arrows.  All you know is that one day, it happened, one arrow was shot at you, and then suddenly there was another, then another.  These arrows [...]

Sweet parent, there’s a truth God wants you to know.  There’s a truth that you need to know and that your family needs you to live.  If you can embrace this truth it will change your life and the lives of those you love most. Please read this slowly and let it water your soul:  [...]

I guess you could say I’m a little rebellious. When Seth was born with multiple heart defects, we had the opportunity to join a support group for “Heart Families”.  He was referred to as “Heart Baby”, and we were “Heart Mom” and “Heart Dad”.  I hated those labels.  Every time we were called one of [...]
