I love the song, “The Blessing”. I am in awe of the fact that I have seen it play out and I have faith that I will get to watch it continue. My Pappaw and Mammaw had three children. Through those three, God blessed them with nine grandchildren, twenty-one great grandchildren, and nine great great […]
The Voice of God
Over the last several months we have been going through a study in the book of Joshua. The other day I was reading again in Joshua 7 and some things really jumped out at me. Things that I think if we aren’t careful we could miss but they are so very applicable for today in […]
Are you Spiritually Gifted?
Have you ever been a part of a team? Maybe for a sport, band, or even a group of friends that plays a video game together? One of the things I always loved about playing sports and now playing games with friends is that a team can take several different skill sets and make them […]
How Full is My Cup?
I have been pondering the cup for a while and how it correlates to my life in general. We have all heard the phrase, my cup runneth over. It brought me to the question of how much is in my cup? We have all heard the question, do you see the cup or glass half […]
Copycat
The dictionary defines the word “copy” as a verb meaning “to imitate the style or behavior of”. That’s a pretty simple definition, right? But, I’ve received mixed signals about copying all my life.

Change

This year is going to bring some big changes into my life; some highly anticipated – an addition to our […]
I Watched a Movie
My husband Kirk and I sometimes have a competition. We see who can pick the stupidest movie. We call it “Stupid Movie Night”. Pretty original, don’t ya think? At the end of each one, we will either say, “I win”, or “you win”. It is our way of watching something without having to think. There […]
The Gift of Presence
Christmas is almost here! If you’re anything like me, you’ve been rushing around trying to find the perfect gifts for your loved ones. But there’s always that one. You know the one. The one that you simply can not think of anything to buy for. My Dad is that one for me. If he […]
The Gifts We Bring
I am crafty – meaning I like to make things. Mostly I like to sew and make things with fabric, but I’ve tried lots of different things with varying degrees of success. My mom was crafty too, she could draw and paint beautifully and she taught me how to sew. I am not very good […]
Jesus Came With His Name
Jesus Came With His Name, Just Like a Cabbage Patch Doll. The holiday season has arrived once again and Christmas is almost here. I don’t know about you, but I sometimes get grumpy this time of year. Christmas feels so commercialized and centered around all the wrong things. As I was growing up, Christmas was […]
