Do you ever feel like you're free falling? If you're a thrill seeker, maybe that doesn't sound so bad. For me, the feeling doesn't make me excited or happy. The feeling makes me want to run away, hide, or quit. If you are contemplating quitting, hiding, or running away, I want to enourage you today! […]
Gardening is a form of suffering. Not for everyone who does it, but it is for me! My dad peruses seed catalogs like I used to peruse the Christmas toy catalogs as a child. I, on the other hand, feel a bit anxious at the sight of them in the mailbox. What will I plant? […]
This past year my family moved out of the house I'd lived in longer than any other house. We were moving into an old farmhouse that we were rehabbing ourselves. It was a challenging process both physically and mentally. As I considered all of the things I'd miss about the home I'd brought my babies up […]

The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly The title of the 1960's western reminds me a bit of life. The infamous movie carries themes that speak to the greed and ugliness that resides in humanity, as well as the good that is in us, too. Like in the movie, even the good in us has […]
Hi friends, Do you, like me, need to return to gospel sanity? This week already feels out of control and I could easily go down the road of believing the feeling is real! It's not real, though. Don't believe the feeling! The Lord is in full control. Return to Graceland...a place where grace and God […]
Advent Joy isn’t shallow or sentimental—it is rooted in the appearing of Christ. When Scripture speaks of Christ being manifested, it means that God has made Himself clearly seen, known, and encountered in order to save. “The grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation…” — Titus 2:11, ESV The Child in the manger is the […]
Where do you long for Christ’s Peace to enter your story this week? Or have you given up hope for that? Perhaps it would be good for you and me to remember Jesus' words about the kind of peace He gives. "Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the […]
