Who doesn't love a good story? Or better yet, a good God story? The summer series at our church is titled "House of Miracles" and it's been amazing to be a part of it in a personal way. Back in April I received an email from Ryan, our lead pastor, asking if I would be …
Week 3
So far, so good. As I move into my fourth week of plant-based eating, things are going well. I feel better. I have more energy for sure. I have begun to crave greens (yellows, reds, purples and oranges). I don't miss meat, fortunately. That's not to say this has been a cinch. I spent last …
Going green…again…
Years and years ago when I first started blogging I used to pick an annual theme for my writing/life. It was much like I pick a word or a verse these days. Something to focus on for an entire year. One of the first years I did this the theme was "A year of going …
The power of ONE
As I woke this morning, I could feel I was still in the in between. That place where you have one foot in and one foot out of dreamland. For a moment it was as if I were watching a movie, observing characters as they went about the scene and then I was overcome with …
Baby steps…
There is a Christian author I enjoy reading. Her name is Lisa Whittle. A few weeks ago I stumbled upon a community she runs with her friend and fellow author, Alli Worthington.

What do I say?
This is a question I am asked often. As a Christian, what do I say to my Mormon friend to help them accept Christ? That’s such an interesting question. I understand the depth of emotion behind it, really, I do, but it implies there’s a magic bullet. Abra cadabra {insert magic word here} and voila …
That tug…
You know the feeling. That tug on your heart when you are being called to step into a new chapter, or to go to the next step in an existing chapter of life. We can try to ignore it, escape it, but it continues to pop up at every turn, in your dreams, during random …
Girl’s getaway…CLT-style
This weekend I had a chance to get away with my daughter, our youngest, our baby. Our baby who will turn 22 next week. It’s crazy how fast time has flown in getting to this point. It feels like yesterday that she was running around in pig tails hardly able to form sentences. Now she …
