Confessions of an Imperfect Christian Wife
Posted on 10/20/2016
This morning, I was snappy with my husband. I asked him if he thought my shirt was too short to wear with leggings, and he replied in the affirmative. I was irritated because it meant changing my outfit and I was already running late. He took the brunt of my...
Real Relationship
Posted on 10/2/2016
I had a brief and unexpected conversation today with a wonderful "sister" I just recently met. She was being real (LOVE IT!) and opening her heart about a newfound joy in her life. While she was talking, she was moved to tears several times. I was honored to have stumbled upon her...
Repetitive Strain Life
Posted on 6/7/2016
Last Sunday, I put my back out. Terrible back spasms left me in tears and gasping for breath. When I was finally able to get to the Chiropractor, he told me that I had a repetitive strain injury. Basically, I had been doing the same motion for so long that...
What the World Needs Now, Is Love, Sweet Love
Posted on 6/4/2016
Why is LOVE so hard? Recently, a sister-for-real called me to talk about her marriage; how hard it is, how lonely it sometimes feels, how often it is fraught with pain, fighting, and tears. Recently, a colleague made an appointment to talk to me about her conflict with another work-mate, how critical...

My Letter to Rachel Held Evans
Posted on 2/22/2016
Rachel Held Evans, author of "A Year of Biblical Womanhood", is my new favorite person. She is funny, witty, clever, articulate, bold, loving, thoughtful, caring, intelligent, and I'm pretty sure we own the same necklace (see above photo), which I think makes us soul-sisters. I recently wrote her a letter, and wanted...
Punctuation Matters
Posted on 1/2/2016
My father-in-law shared this past week at our church, and the title of his sermon was Punctuation Matters. He explained how we misread and misinterpret scripture by taking it out of context, or partially quoting it. It was a fun take on a serious topic. We regularly misunderstand what God is...
Taking a Step in Purpose
Posted on 12/6/2015
I would like this day to have some real, deeper meaning.Today's To-Do List includes business work, laundry, errands, household chores, and some phone calls - nothing terribly important in the grand scheme of life.I'd like this day to have a sense of purpose; not be a litany of petty efforts...
What Else Do We Have Wrong?
