Seasoned
We met full sail as summer swelled and we ran free beneath borealis skies, sun-kissed. September's sweet caress coaxed us to sway in the starlight as summer's leaves shed their emerald hue splattering crimson across our craft brittle and thin as our words: How’s work? How's your mom? Did you feed the dogs? Frost snaked aft and fore across line …
Love Bends Low
Do you have a friend who bends low and waits long to hear the story of your heart? We’d love to honor him or her with a little give-away. In 20 words or less, tell us a little bit about your friend, and on Sunday, we’ll choose one sweet friend to honor with a little …
Introducing a New Ministry
Today, I want to introduce you to something close to my heart, something you've been reading in bite-sized pieces since 2008, a story simultaneously just beginning and one that's been decades in the making. A story only God could be writing. Today, I introduce you to my friend, Pamela Piquette, and the brand new ministry …
Back to School
September ushers in change in routine, in seasons, in the order and rhythm of our days, and it marks our 18th year of homeschooling. Two sons and a daughter have already graduated from high school leaving me with just two for the first time in many years -- a freshman and a senior. Our senior …
Where I Live
I live in a small midwestern town on an acre and an eighth of gently rolling hills in a sprawling older subdivision filled with towering pines. On Hamilton Court. Just off Hamilton Drive. We've lived in this elongated ranch for nearly twenty years, raising five kids in a town too small for a post office, …
The Gift of Tithing
One afternoon, just after I turned 30, I decided it was time to finally read the Bible – the whole Bible – cover-to-cover, Genesis straight through Revelation, no matter how long it took. Excited and often challenged by what I was learning, I eagerly shared my new found knowledge with my husband, who wasn’t nearly …
Asking for Help
My post is a little different today. Today I'm asking for your help. My son Sam, as many of you know, is home from college on medical leave and likely unable to return. He's whip smart, word clever, wildly creative, quick witted, deeply loyal...and losing hope. You can read about his days in his own …
Bravely Capturing Words — A Series
I know many who are bravely capturing words this year, writing memoirs, poetry, fiction, devotionals, novels and novellas, medical odysseys, writing for magazines and newspapers, even writing for themselves, spilling the words of their hearts into notebooks and art journals. I am awed by their devotion, their dedication, their sacrifice. For we need their words, …
You Are…
I am honored to be partnering with the beautiful, grace-filled Lauren McLeod, the heart and soul behind this project, to launch #IAmHis today, the first in a series of images designed to remind each of us that we are precious, treasured, accepted, loved. Today, we invite you to reach out and remind the weary, the …
Thirteen — A Story of Community
A little more than two years ago, I packed my secondhand cheetah print suitcase, boarded a plane and headed for a remote Texas canyon cut by the Frio River. I was excited to be attending my first writers’ conference, and nervous. I wasn’t an author, wasn’t writing a book, had no plans to write a …
Richest Love
Beautiful Sunday blessings to you, Friends! What grace that we are loved beyond imagining by the One who IS love, whose love never changes, never fails, never ends, whose love is wholly undeserved, and beyond all limits of time and space.
