For the 2nd year in a row, Youth for Christ is bringing The Tabernacle Experience to Lincoln. Our whole family went last year, and we were all moved by the encounter. Getting to see a life size replica of what you can only imagine when you read the book of Exodus is life changing. Just walking through […]

The New Year’s Resolution Worth Keeping: Lines Worth Reading
The last day of the year has become a celebratory one for me. For the past six years besides planning some sort of event with my family (usually a night in :-), this has also been the day that I complete my reading through the Bible over the course of the year. I have been […]
Continue readingThe Lying Line: God Never Gives You More than You Can Handle
Reflections from the first half of 2 Corinthians I have pondered the line in the past. “God never gives you more than you can handle.” A saying that makes you feel guilty after you feel overwhelmed or discouraged when life takes you on a different path than you anticipated. The one that makes you wonder […]

Once upon a time I wanted to learn to play guitar. Absconding my grandparents’ really old out-of-tune guitar, the one that no one is quite sure why they had since neither of them played, I sought an instructor. Conveniently I asked the guy I had a crush on and one lesson presumed. I was supposed […]

With the premature death of Robin Williams this week, we are all reminded that behind the laughter, often a broken heart remains. Many people have tackled the subject of depression this week. One I admire the most is my friend, Amy. Rather than retreat after the tragic loss of her brother to suicide, she has […]

Continue readingLines to see the Tabernacle
Waiting 30 minutes in a seated line was worth it last Saturday. Our family had the opportunity to walk through the Tabernacle this week-end. Do not worry – you did not miss some major archeological find. This Tabernacle is a reproduction based on the biblical explanation. Reading through the Bible every year, I feel that […]

Today is a “Severe Weather Alert” day across Nebraska. Having lived in the area of the Hallam tornadoes a decade ago, I definitely pay more attention if bad weather is coming my way. To be honest, all that could happen today makes a bit nervous. Praying “please don’t send them my way” seems a bit […]
Continue readingHomonym Lines Part 1: Not Idle-Idol
Admitting that I might just have an idol is hard to type. But unfortunately I think it might be true. As I type this my husband is upstairs finishing up yet another perfectly designed bathroom. I was upstairs “helping” (by throwing away trash and keeping him company). But for now, I decided that it is […]
Continue readingThe Lines of Romans 8:28
Probably since high school, I have had Romans 8:28 as my life verse. I have seen the words lived out over and over as God has directed His plan for my life. Romans 8:28 (NASB) 28 And we know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those […]
