A few days again Sweet Pea and Bubs were going at each other. Neither one were listen to the other. Watching this war, my mind jumped forward twenty years. I saw each of my kiddos with his/her spouse. Frankly - it frightened me. How I "disagree" with my husband... Oh, who am I kidding... How I argue with my ...

Not Ashamed
We have been studying Hebrews 11 at church for the past few weeks. If you recognize that reference, this is sometimes called the "Faith Chapter" because several of the verses start with the words, "by faith." A few weeks ago, the pastor focused on verse sixteen: Instead, they were longing for a better country—a heavenly one. ...

Sin Takes, Never Gives
In October I wrote a blog about sin. I passed along s statement that the Holy Spirit said to me, "Sin is not cute." I have thought about that statement several times as I watch my children.

My Apologies for Barfing on You
Before I even start this blog, I am going to apologize for "barfing" on you. That is my term for "spilling my guts." I have talked in a few past blogs about being real. Well here it is...

The Not-So Joys of Facebook Part 1
A couple of days ago, I watched a news story concerning Facebook and how other people's posts affect our mood.
