So...I'm tired and stumbling through my morning. Not sure where to begin. I know I need some spiritual help because I've had little sleep and we're all sick here. The husband is gone and I feel alone in this physical and spiritual battle. I still have a few days...

"That is mine! It belongs to me!" Those words (or something like them) have been heard by every person who has lived if they've lived in community with others. Parents cringe when they hear them. We all say them though...even if it is merely through our attitudes and...

Look at these two little stinkers. They look like they're up to something here don't they? We enjoyed a beautiful fall day on Sunday. After church, we went apple picking and pumpkin grabbing. The kids wanted to go in the hay maze at the pumpkin farm. Papa got them...

Last week there was a battle between my son and myself. After the heat went down and the boiling turned to simmering, I took my son's hand and we prayed. It felt hard to take that hand and pray in the midst of hurting hearts but it happened. I've been...

Ruthie wakes up early and stumbles down to the living room with her light-up ladybug. Her little chubby fingers hold up the favorite bedtime friend to project stars on the ceiling above us. Amethyst light through star holes cast the dreamy image of a night sky above...
