Tomorrow morning I will be interviewed by the local TBN station, and I’m both excited and a little nervous. OK, maybe more than a little. But as I thought about what I would want to share, I was overwhelmed by God’s goodness, and how much my life has changed for the better. Ten years ago I was…
Today I woke up “on the wrong side of the bed.” My thoughts were in a jumble, and I found it hard to think clearly or positively. I don’t know about you, but that’s not a good way for me to start the day. Yesterday I encountered some tough things , and by the time I got home I…
Friday I had the delight of having my grandsons spend the night with us. It’s one of my favorite things! In the morning, after spending time with The Lord, I started some writing. At the time everyone was asleep, but the youngest boy, barely awake, comes up and asks if he can snuggle. How do I resist? I don’t….
Those of you who were following my blog probably noticed that I hadn’t posted anything for several months. I absolutely love blogging, but honestly I just got to the point where I had to cut out all distractions in order to buckle down and write my book. Writer’s call it “bum glue”, when you just have to…

Have you ever come home feeling kind of out of sorts? You’re not even sure what’s wrong, but you just want the discomfort to be gone? It certainly happens to me. Even if I have a good day, sometimes I can just feel “off”, and I’m not even sure why. That’s when I have a choice. What am I…
This morning I was thinking about a subject I seem to be especially drawn to—the problem of comparison and competition. If we could conquer this one area in our life, there is no telling what we could become, or rather who we could become—our truest selves. I can only speak from my own experience. As I step into the…
My dearest daughter, I celebrate the day that you were born – the day that I created you! I have loved you with an everlasting love, from before you took your first breath until now. And I will always love you – never doubt that. I know that you have been hurt by this broken world. That was never…
