Have you seen the new movie War Room? It’s an inspiring story of how God interceded in a broken family in response to the wife’s fervent prayers. It is a call to all Christians to fight our battles in the heavenly realm, to fall on our knees in prayer and let God take over. When […]
Nothing like a little excitement to kick off our work week. Monday afternoon, my son, Cole, called me. “Mom,” he began, “where’s Cassie?” Confused, I asked, “What do you mean? Isn’t she home with you?” “No,” he stated matter-of-factly. “She didn’t ride the bus.” “What?” I yelled. “She wasn’t on the bus? Did you call […]
Today is September 9. Mean anything to you? Probably not. But to me, September 9 is the anniversary of the day my life changed forever. September 9, 2008, is the day my husband was caught in an affair. Seven full years ago. September 9, 2009, is the day of our first court proceedings in the […]
The Ashley Madison scandal has been heavy on my mind in recent days. It hits so close to home because I’ve been the spouse on the other side, the spouse horrified to discover her husband on an online dating site. I suppose we could at least point out that these spouses weren’t hiding the fact […]

I rarely comment on current events. I prefer to simply stick with the basics of scripture—loving God, loving others as we love ourselves. I don’t want to be guilty of throwing gas on a fire, stirring up division in the body. But this time is somewhat different. We’ve been inundated with the hack on the […]

August 20, 2015. Back to school for my kids. First day of 6th, 8th, and 10th grades. Where have the days gone? How did my babies grow up so quickly? Three kids. Three different reactions. Three different attitudes. One prayer. Today, my oldest climbed into his car and drove himself to school for the first […]
Oh my goodness! I have been overwhelmed! Thank you so much to everyone who wants to tell their story! I have shed tears as I read the stories of God’s faithfulness! I can’t wait to share each and every one with you. I wanted to start with Yasmen’s story. What an amazing testimony she shares! […]

Perhaps you remember the words of the old hymn: I love to tell the story ‘Twill be my theme in glory To tell the old, old story Of Jesus and his love Growing up, we frequently sang those words in church. The hymn has always been a favorite of mine. But today, it has new […]

Have you ever played with a glow stick? You know, the ones that kids love. You pull them out of the package, and they are rather plain, ordinary. But then… You bend the stick. You hear it break inside. You begin to shake it up. As you break it and shake it, it begins to […]
