Mary or Martha?
“As Jesus and his disciples were on their way, he came to a village where a woman named Martha opened her home to him. She had a sister called Mary, who sat at the Lord’s feet listening to what he said. But Martha was distracted by all the preparations that had to be made. She…
Six Weird things About Me! I’ve Been Tagged. Twice!
Thanks to Margaret and Cara. Though there are probably more than six weird things about me, most of them aren’t fit for publication. 1. I love organization, but I’m a very messy person. You can blame that on my Choleric/Melancholy personality. I love to organize, but rarely follow through to the end. I guess this is…
A Small Prayer Answered … and a Story to Tell
Is it worth it? This is a question I ask myself at least once a week when it comes to writing. As I’m trying to balance family life with my call to the keyboard, I sometimes wonder if maybe I’m just a little bit selfish. Shouldn’t I be more fulfilled with my duties of caring…
The Ultimate Blog Party
I feel like I’ve been glued to the keyboard the last several weeks trying to get my website up and running and I haven’t been doing half the work Heather has been doing. So I think I deserve a little fun. I plan on being at the blog party and I hope to show off…

Anger Management for Six Year Olds?

I don’t remember what sparked it, probably that he didn’t want to come inside, but my little “Angel boy” morphed into a demon. Blazing hateful eyes, clenched fists, spitting ugly words…
Mid-Week Motivation
Starting Your Day Out Right Scripture, Short Devotion “Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword. As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter. Nay, in…
My Little Author
Timmy was all excited about entering the Reading Rainbow writing contest until we had to sit down and write a story. I’m amazed at how wonderfully put together the writing guide is. It contains everything a kid and adult needs to know about writing a story. Some of the topics cover brainstorming, characterization, setting, problem…
Tricia Goyer’s Book Party

When Life Throws A Curve Ball
(c) Cara Putman I’m in the middle of one of those times that makes life … interesting. A time when I keep asking God if I can have my charmed Christian life back. Instead, I get to walk a path I didn’t want to and that I don’t fully understand. As I wrestle with God,…
