My Christmas Prayer for You
During this Christmas Season, May You Find... Love that never fails, never grows weary, and that has no end - the love that satisfies. Joy - the unspeakable kind that can only be understood deep inside, because it is a joy so deep, that every sorrow should come to pass. Peace inside out - peace that grants you serenity to hear the tender ...
A School-Year Prayer
This week we close the door on summer. At the crack of dawn Monday morning, my children will enter their appropriate middle and high schools to learn, grow, and be a light in this dark world.

Hanging Art Projects
So your child just painted a masterpiece. Paint is all over the table, chair, and child. How do you keep the stickiness from getting on more things while drying? Since we do most of our craft projects in the laundry room, I had the idea to use clip clothes hangers to hang our craft papers to dry. Eureka! Since air is ...
Review: Women of Faith Conference
Last weekend, I had the opportunity to join 1,000's of women for a time of laughter, encouragement, and memories at the Women of Faith conference. Seriously, who doesn't desire time with other women? Since I was given two tickets to attend, my mom joined me for the two-day event. This gave us time to talk (uninterrupted by little people) and ...
