Tis the season for busyness. We bustle from store to store, trying to get everything done on our to-do list. Today’s Motivation Monday challenge is to do just the opposite: sit and reflect. Fix yourself a cup of tea or hot chocolate, put your feet up, gaze at...
I’ve been working to get everything ready for company: food prepared, house cleaned, beds made… However, today I’m working on one last preparation. There are a lot of tasks that I do as a mom everyday and even more tasks that I’m doing to get...
There’s no better way to start off the day and the week, than allowing God to speak to your heart and mind. I love this verse in Colossians 2: 6-7My counsel for you is simple and straightforward: Just go ahead with what you’ve been given. You received...
I’m in Colorado preparing for the Hearts at Home conference this coming weekend. Rather than staying in a hotel, I get to stay with my friend Tammy Maltby. Tammy was telling me a story last night about a difficult situation she faced where she did what she...

After our eventful Sunday, Erica and I made it to Joplin on Monday. I don’t even know that I have words to describe what we saw and experienced. So I’m going to let pictures do the job. And I’m going to ask you to help. I have about 1500 bloggy...
