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. It's named Called Creatives and it's an amazing place. It is a place that brings together creative-types (writers, speakers, podcasters, etc.) in one …
Why starting the day with social media is a bad idea…
It seemed innocent enough. I'm up early as usual, waiting for my Keurig to brew my first lovely cup o'joe and I grab my phone. I'll be honest -- I have a snap chat streak going with two good friends. That's right, I'm 52 and I have snap chat streaks! LOL...We always start with a …

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 …

The old man is dead…
I have studied the concept of grace for so long, I thought I had it nailed. What more is there to understand about it? But once again, I find myself humbled. And learning as much about God's timing as I am about grace itself. I'm sure you've heard the concept of replacing a behavior/habit with …
Overflow…
I have been waiting for this weekend for what feels like months. My church hosts an annual retreat in Lake Junaluska, North Carolina every year. It's a weekend away with 100+ women feasting on the Word and learning from and about each other. I love retreat weekend. But, not every woman can go away. Family …
Just for fun…
It’s been a while and there’s much to catch up on, but for today, I want to share something that I’m doing solely for the fun of it. Those who know me, even those who know me well, may not know that I know American Sign Language. Now, I’m not as fluent as I was …
