I get myopic real easy. Especially when I’m in pain. I need to go to church once a week if for no other reason than to get my head pulled out of the proverbial sand and aimed higher than Tuesday! I’ve used up the 9 volt battery in my Tens…

I am poor in what really counts. I long for it. I hunger for it. I thirst for it. I fear life is just too easy for a 30 something mom in a two-income house in 2012 U.S.A. to really grow rich in faith and Christ-likeness. I want to embrace…

We’ve been gone for 17 days on our annual trek to Northern Cali and Southern Oregon. It feels like “three months”- as my youngest announced today. We made a ton of memories. I wanted to blog my way through the trip, by posting each day, but Internet wasn’t always available…

It’s been three days of prepping for our road trip tomorrow plus the daily things a mom of two boys home on summer vacation do. I know it sounds kind of goofy, but the Parent For A Day game was a such a success so I went with it and…
