Are You Forgetting Someone?
Does a maiden forget her jewelry, a bride her wedding ornaments? Yet people have forgotten me, days without number. Jeremiah2:32 NIV Have any of you ever turned your back on God? Have you had thoughts that maybe you could handle this life on your own? I have, more times than I care to say, and I…
Read MoreReflections of Grace
During Grace’s Birthday month I’m going to post some reflections of my spunky little firecracker! June 7, 2005 I can’t believe my baby is now 3 years old. Everyday I seem to enjoy her more. I think that’s because she’s getting a little easier to handle. Though she tries my patience and pushes limits many,…
Read MoreTarnished Silver
Many believers see themselves as sinners covered by the blood of Jesus. Or as Dwight Edwards puts it many believers see themselves like “costume jewelry. Worthless metal covered with an attractive coating.” But he goes on to explain that we’re more like tarnished silver. “While we’re covered by the infinite righteousness of Christ, we’re also…

This year I had three different opportunities to attend. Two would be out of our budget and would entail attending a mini conference. One other opportunity won’t cost me…
Read MoreWhen the dream’s big enough, the facts don’t matter
Several years ago, my husband bought me a laptop and, ever so romantically said, “Here, now go write something.” And, being the ever obedient wife, I did. Months later. I’d started reading Kristen Billerbeck‘s Ashley Stockingdale books because (are you ready for this?) I liked the covers. A voracious reader, I’d never picked up Christian…

Read MoreThe Vow by Ed Gungor
For the last few Sundays I’ve been blogging about The Vow. In chapter ten, Gungor talks about the anatomy of a vow. In our society vows seem to be a foreign thing, except in the context of marriage, but even then I doubt most marriages actually realizing what they’re vowing into. The traditional marriage vows…
