To the Older Mom, with a Young Child, Who Feels Left Out
Maybe, like me, you didn’t find “the one” until you were a little older than most. Maybe you struggled with infertility for years before having a baby or adopting. Maybe you had a surprise baby after your other children were older. Whatever the reason, I know. I’m there, too.
Let God Out of That Box!
Many years ago when I was in college, I worked at a Christian bookstore in the customer service department. Our duties in that department included imprinting names on Bibles, managing items that people had special ordered, and wrapping gifts. I became a master gift-wrapper. In fact, I’m pretty picky even now about how gifts lookContinue reading “Let God Out of That Box!”
Three Lessons from My Preschool Son
It was 9:44 pm on a Thursday night and after more than 18 hours of labor that ended in an emergency c-section, I was so exhausted that I had to ask my husband to talk to me to keep me awake for the blessed event.

Why I Need to Live in the Past

Wandering in the Desert: Three Truths for a Season of Disappointment
“Those crazy Israelites! They saw God rescue them from Egypt via ten plagues and part the Red Sea yet they still complain! What does it take for them to believe?!” I said this to myself as I was studying for a lesson I was teaching in my Bible Fellowship class Sunday morning. Fast forward justContinue reading “Wandering in the Desert: Three Truths for a Season of Disappointment”
For the NOT Grammar Nerd: Grammarly Tool
Confession time: I am a grammar nerd. And more than that, I am a proud grammar nerd. Sometimes it’s out of control to the point that I wish I could go through and correct grammar on social media. I once called a business to let them know that there was a misspelled word on theContinue reading “For the NOT Grammar Nerd: Grammarly Tool”
