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 […]

Evidently this month has passed by in a blur because I did not realize that I have not been here for several weeks. This has been a challenging month for my family. Faced with a daunting decision, we are choosing to walk by faith in a new direction that involves a job change and probable […]

Ever since our Pastor Mike McDonald preached on the word “glory” many Decembers ago, I have loved that word! I filed away an article that he also wrote on what “glory” really means. The basic idea of the Old Testament word is substance or weight. The bottom line idea of the New Testament word is […]

I had my oldest two boys start journaling as a part of their school day this morning. As you can imagine, my plan was met with mostly negative reviews. To illustrate why I feel writing down thoughts is important, I got out my “journal” file folder from high school, hoping to inspire them. I randomly […]

Deciding to become a travel writer in 2013 was not a hard decision. Even in the winter, driving around in a vehicle with heated seats is not exactly uncomfortable. Driving for miles without stopping is not hard. I can drive to any Midwest destination in a relatively short amount of time. I am quite certain […]

Remember I told you that I am a bit of a Christmas music junkie? I almost made it through this December without buying a new album. But this morning I am caving in and buying Sidewalk Prophets’ “Merry Christmas to You” album. (And at $6.99 for the MP3 on Amazon right now, I think it […]

Today the song is definitely honor of my children. This is one of my favorite songs to listen to this time of year. Many years ago the Brooklyn Tabernacle Choir came out with a “Happy birthday, Jesus” song. That one is sweet and all, but I happen to like the below version even better. This […]

Next week I will finish my series on “Lyric Lines for the Savior.” Today’s post could almost count since the song is about Jesus coming. But since there really are not any words, I decided this one should be more for fun. My husband discovered “The Piano Guys” at a seminar he went to in […]
