Am I Going Crazy?

In the desert the whole community grumbled against Moses and Aaron. The Israelites said to them, “If only we had died by the Lord’s hand in Egypt! There we sat around pots of meat and ate all the food we wanted, but you have brought us out into this desert to starve this entire assembly […]

Rejected…

“I just can’t believe that someone like her would be interested in someone like me,” said my then husband as he talked about his mistress. As the words came out of his mouth, I remember thinking—maybe saying—“What am I? Chopped liver?” Yes, his girlfriend had been a cheerleader in high school. She had a college […]

A Run to Remember 2014

It’s that time of year again. For fourteen years, Oklahoma City has come together to run and remember the lives lost in the bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah building on April 19, 1995. Our city was forever changed, and we never want to forget those lost in the senseless act of terrorism. Last year, […]

Cancer…

“There’s an 85% chance that it’s malignant.” As the words rolled off my dad’s tongue, I felt as if I had been punched in the stomach. A small spot on his kidney is proving to be more than any of us ever imagined. The revelation came at the end of a particularly difficult week. I […]

Faith…

What is Faith? Faith is the confidence that what we hope for will actually happen; it gives us assurance about things we cannot see. Hebrews 11:1 As I look back over this journey, I am constantly amazed at how much my faith has grown through the trials and tribulations of this life. Recently, however, I […]

Single…And Hating It!

I am single…and hating it! I’m sure there are many singles who would say they hate it. They would tell about the loneliness. They might tell you how they long to have someone with whom to share their hopes and dreams. Or, maybe they would talk about the longing for a companion, someone with whom […]
