I watched the woman’s eyes begin to droop as she nodded off, open book still in her hands. Before I knew it, she was snoring softly right in the waiting room chair. I envied her ability to drift off so easily. My eyes were still feeling the effects of the optometrist’s dilating drops, so I couldn’t indulge in my … Read More about Wake Up!

Better Than Sacrifice
“To obey is better than sacrifice.” 1 Samuel 15:22 This phrase from God’s Word shows us much about His heart and His true desire for His people. He wants us to obey Him. We know this. Most of us would readily admit that the One who created us owns us. And when humankind audaciously turned … Read More about Better Than Sacrifice
My Own Mess
“I don’t know why I didn’t think of this sooner,” I thought with excitement as I cleared out the bottom drawer in our bathroom. My husband’s messy counter had been bothering me for weeks. I can admit that it had been unfair of me to hog two of the three drawers for my own odds and ends for … Read More about My Own Mess
When the Super Bowl Says I Love You
I’m not a football fan. Not even a little bit. My favorite part of a football game is the halftime show. And I’m not referring to kind showcasing Katy what’s-her-name or wardrobe malfunctions and the like. No, I’m quite thankful I’m married to a man who makes an effort to miss those halftime shows.

But they don’t really amount to a single bit of difference. I don’t want to soften the blow and call it … Read More about Praying the Scriptures: Prayers for the President

Because it’s that important. … Read More about A Letter to Christian Homeschooling Moms
The Power of One: A Lesson From the Good Samaritan
“So many people talk about changing the world, but you guys are actually doing it,” my brother told me with tears in his eyes and a quivering chin. He’s rather enamored with our foster children. My youngest brother…the real live baby doll I held and rocked as a thirteen-year-old while singing “Edelweiss.” He was the wayward teen my … Read More about The Power of One: A Lesson From the Good Samaritan
Learn, Love, Lift in Prayer: Hope Assured
“Abducted Nigerian girls still missing…” the headline reads. Some eight months later, the hashtag #BringBackOurGirls is a distant memory. But I imagine the horrors are just as real for them…for those precious girls. I wonder if their hope of rescue is slipping away. Fading into the background, long-forgotten…dulled by the perpetual disappointment of unfulfilled expectancy. Like Job, … Read More about Learn, Love, Lift in Prayer: Hope Assured
