Is it in Your Nature to Nurture?
I was a bit surprised by this article about a mom who openly admits she’s bored with her children. After reading the article it’s obvious to me how this mom lacks a nurture gene and is solely focused on herself and her needs and desires. If you don’t believe me, go read it for yourself.…
Video Game Addiction
PS 2, Nintendo, X-Box. Whatever you want to call it, I’m convinced it was sent here straight from the pit to torture moms. Is it just my family, or do your kids turn into little monsters, fighting and jockeying for their game time? My youngest has just started playing with her brothers. That makes four…
Life’s Distractions
So many things distract us from our true calling in life. It’s an easy way for the enemy to keep us headed down the wrong path, the path which though seemingly innocent doesn’t line up with the purpose God has designed us for. Take for example my recent attempt to sell on ebay. I figured…
Yankee or Rebel?

Not sure if it fits the beauty category, but it sometime is the truth and isn’t the truth beautiful? I admit that’s strethcing it…

My mind is still reeling from the last five hours I spent at the library…writing. Earlier in the week I sent out my synopsis to be critiqued by Story Sensei and it came back on Thursday. Camy’s suggestions were great! It was just what I needed to get this story back on track. Okay, I…
Back Seat Conversations
“Mom,” Timmy, my six year old speaks up amidst the back seat noise and mayhem. “Yes,” I answer eager to know what was on his mind. He’s usually my quiet one. “Which would you rather do, read the whole Bible in a day or read one page of a huge gigantic Bible the size of…
