From my journal: “I’m emotional. It’s only our first full day at the home and I’ve cried almost all day. I cried through my testimony with my team and every time I behold the girls in their beauty and innocence. I’m so grateful for Prince of Peace – for those who saw the need and…
Is this thing on?
I could totally be the “bullhorn guy.” Sometimes I am so filled with love and amazement and passion, not just for my Creator but for His creation, that I want to grab a megaphone, pull up a box (or a stand in a truck bed), and yell at the top of my lungs, “He loves…
Dave Ramsey called me “STUPID”
I will never forget that day. I found myself in a tough financial situation, and needed some advice. Who better to get financial advice from than Dave, right? I called the number, I waited for what seemed like hours (but was more like 20 minutes), and an operator asked me my problem. “I don’t have…
The day He swallowed my death

Anyway, the title of an…

I was lonely this morning. It happens. So, instead of doing the pile of work that has mounted through the week, I got online to reach out...and I came across my favorite wise bear - Winnie. Have you ever taken the time to go through those books? They are some of my favorites! In fact,…
Perfect Timing
I feel quite certain if I were living in any other time period I would be tried as a witch and sunk to the bottom of the lake. I'm also quite sure if I'd been born in any other country (say a Muslim one for instance, where women must remain quiet and hidden) I would…
I Dare You to Move
On September 10, 2010 while everyone else in the country was preparing themselves for the anniversary of 9/11 and arguing whether or not a Muslim Quran should be burned, we woke to an eye opening tragedy.

The elephant in the room
Cancer. That word is ominous, foreboding. It very literally scares you to the core. Suddenly that afflicted body part is bigger than life, and you are a little kid in a dark room, looking for the smallest source of light. It takes your breath away and zaps you of energy. Suddenly your world that was…
