If I Had…One Month to Live 2
Yesterday I talked about what I would do if I had one month to live. Top of the list is not clean and probably abandon what little parenting skills I have. After all, I’d want my last moments on earth to be fun and stress free! I’d want to have everyone’s last memories of me…
If I Had…One Month to Live
Of course, the off the cuff answer would be to focus on my family and love them more. But then that makes me come face to face with the question “why is that one-month-to-live goal and not a life goal?” I think this challenge or questions is a complicated one and deserves more than…
Praying the ABC’s
My daughter has been learning the sounds for the alphabet and how to write her letters in preschool. The ABC song is now the song of choice in our car every morning. We pray every morning on the way to school too. Recently she said, “Mommy, let’s pray our ABC’s this morning.” Not a bad…
Poverty and Blog Action Day
“Out of the most severe trial, their overflowing joy and their extreme poverty welled up in rich generosity. For I testify that they gave as much as they were able, and even beyond their ability. Entirely on their own, they urgently pleaded with us for the privilege of sharing in this service to the saints.But just as you…
Back Then…
Some times in writing, my first attempt is to take the easy way out. I was trying to do this with the book I’m currently writing, Blue Like Playdoh. This book shares much of my life journey, and I tried to tell it in sweet, devotional thoughts. My editor didn’t go for that. He wanted…

What a Magical Weekend!!!
As in Magic Eraser! I spent the entire weekend unpacking boxes of books and erasing the marks on the wall. Hubby doesn’t want to paint, and I don’t blame him. The task is overwhelming, but I will insist on the painting some of the rooms that Magic Eraser couldn’t clean up! But the house is…
To Halve and To Whole
As a writer, I sometimes live disconnected from the world my body actually inhabits. I watch peImage by Ravages via Flickrople, notice their gestures, analyze how they perch on a chair, assess how they dress, listen to their conversations. I’ve learned to dig into the belly of my purse for my notebook and write these…
H.U.G.S.!
More than anything, keep loving each other actively; because love covers many sins. ~ 1 Peter 4:8 Have you figured out yet that this life is all about relationships? The Relationship Expert Himself wrote an entire Book about this matter of relationships. The First Four Words of The Ten (Commandments) He gave us had to…
