Jan. 19th, 2012 Thoughtful Thursdays :: Book Review ~ Fighting Fear – Winning the War at Home When Your Soldier Leaves for Battle
A few weeks ago, our community lost a young man in Afghanistan. He’d been there less than three weeks.

Jan. 16th, 2012 Mindful Mondays :: A Ladder to the Moon
On a cool, clear night several months ago, I sat on the back steps with our three-year-old son. As we stared at the sky, we talked about how big the moon was and how bright the stars were. Well, I talked. He jabbered in that special just-turned-three language that is part English – part who knows what. After… [ read more ]
Jan. 12th, 2012 Thoughtful Thursdays :: Joy Dare 2012
A few months ago I posted a review of One Thousand Gifts by Ann Voskamp . I’ve been counting gifts ever since.

Jan. 2nd, 2012 New Year – One Word
A new year. What’s a task-oriented, planner-toting, stressed-out-mom-of-three, wanna-be-writer to do? There’s a part of me that longs to open a spreadsheet and plan the next twelve months. There’s another part of me that knows just how long that spreadsheet will hold up under the steady stream of daily life. So this year, I’m trying… [ read more ]

Dec. 19th, 2011 Joy – In Suffering
It’s something we struggle with—this whole concept of suffering. We have an ingrained worldview that suggests suffering is only “fair” if it’s deserved. When we know our desire is to serve God and we are still clobbered by life, we wrestle with “why me” and “this isn’t fair” thoughts. These are the time when I… [ read more ]
Dec. 15th, 2011 Joy – Bigger than our whole world
As I’ve been mulling over the idea of how big God is and the miracle it is that He became flesh, I’ve also been thinking about how often God does things in ways that are both unexpected and incomprehensible. I’m wondering how often I don’t see God’s hand because what’s happening doesn’t make sense to me. I’m… [ read more ]
