I just had to share this with you on this Monday morning. It is from “Audacious” by Beth Moore. She says, “We want a goal God can support because what He supports, He brings to pass. He’ll supply the supernatural strength, the open doors,...

Give me a landmark. Don’t try that north, south, east west with me. I’m simply directionally challenged. I drive myself to Downstream one time a year to help with the Lafayette House event. Every year, Chris and I go through the conversation about how to get...

So….I finally did it. (Nike would be so proud of me.) I finally came up with a solution to something that had been bugging me for longer than I care to remember…and I got it done. It wasn’t life-shattering or destiny-altering by any means. In fact,...

Time flies. It just does. My mother-in-law, Donna, was in the hospital last year. When she went home she needed someone with her at the house 24 hours a day. Rex, my father-in-law, needed to run some errands so I went and stayed with her. They have lived in the...

My children spent 2 hours at a local nursing home the weekend before Christmas, visiting with the residents and singing (along with the rest of their school group) a few off-key Christmas carols. Their intent is always to play games and put together puzzles and other...
