When Your Husband FAILS at Mother’s Day
After giving birth to our fourth child weeks before Mother’s Day, I was sure Paul was going to orchestrate my special day with a five-course gourmet breakfast and a Blue Angels fly-over.

Never Give Up On Your Prodigal – Guest Post
No mom raises a child and thinks for one hot minute that their kid might go rogue. Us moms just don't think like that. At least, not until reality hits us smack in the face.

The House that Built Me
Two years. That's how long mom suffered. She passed away on a pretty spring day in April. "I can't decide between Fall or Spring. I love them both." Mom used to say. "She's gone." Two tiny words with the power to cut my heart in half. The only ones I can make out through my sister's sobs. Paul and I drove in silence. I looked … [Read more...]
Focus on Him
Looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. Hebrews 12:2 For years, I worked as a 911 dispatcher. Each call had the potential of a new emergency. It’s a job that sure can get the blood pumping. … [Read more...]
These 5 Truths About Your Husband Will Fill Your Marriage With Grace
When I daydreamed about being married to my Prince Charming, our happily ever after didn’t include disagreements. Who fantasizes about arguing over silly things?
