Have you ever had a moment where the enormity of eternity just washes over you like a big, thundering, drowning wave? I have been thinking a lot about grace recently, and reading about it, and watching sermons on it. When you really stop to think about what Jesus did on the cross, as we are […]
I was sitting at the table during naptime on Monday and doing my personal Bible study, and it was super, crazy windy out – it started the night before, and was almost shoving our car off the mountain on our way home. It was whipping the trees around, and was whistling through the breezeway outside […]
What is love? (now you’re singing the song, aren’t you? “What is love? Baby don’t hurt me….”) For the next two weeks leading up to Valentine’s Day, we are going to talk about it: love! It’s a word we ache to hear. It’s a word we overuse. It’s a word that signifies something amazing and […]
Confession: I became a Christian very early in life but in all honesty was NOT really super excited to do things “God’s way” because I was afraid that would be boring. My misconception was that being a Christian meant you were goody-goody and sure, you had your stuff together, but your life wouldn’t be fun […]
I was reading my devotional a few weeks ago, around the first of the year, and the words, “refresh” and “renew” kept coming up. And now, a few times this week, I have heard or had repeated the words “remain” or “abide”. What do these words mean? I looked them up in the Webster online […]

It’s kind of hard to not think about death during this season because things are dying all around us. It’s beautiful, yes, but they are dying nonetheless. Winter […]
Confession Time: I am fully immersed in fall TV. Ok, not fully, but I do have a short list that I am DVR’ing and keeping up with when I’m at the gym or making dinner, or staying up too late just to say I had some “me” time….even though I know I should be sleeping […]
If you ask pretty much anyone who knows me well, they will tell you that I have always liked lights – I love Christmas lights, tiki torches, party lights in trees and even once, when I was in a childhood beauty pageant, I asked my mom to make sure my dress had lights on it! […]
Ok, everyone, this week we are going to talk about lies. I wrote a few months ago that one of my goals for this year was to be more informed about current events — I am failing miserably so far — BUT when the hullabaloo hit the fan in the past week or two about the […]
Hold tight, this one may be a little heavy. My mind was racing last night as I was praying about what to write this week — sometimes my thoughts just overtake my mind, and I can’t sleep until I write them down. I pray that I can write this all out clearly and that whomever […]
