Tomorrow is my birthday. So it just makes sense to me to give thanks for my parents for the gift of life. My parents don’t speak. They haven’t spoken 10 times since their divorce in November of 1992. They both like to pretend that they don’t like each other, but the truth is, even after… [Read More]

Today I was reading one of my favorite blogs, Tribal Wife. She is currently living in the “bush” and only blogs every few weeks via telegram. Yeah, I am not kidding. It is essentially the same idea. Either way, I read her blog and am in awe and enamored with her families devotion to following their call…. [Read More]

I have loved phones ever since I was a little girl. My dad had an “in home” business, so when I was about 12 and my parents were sick of having to share a phone with me they got me my own line.  Oh what a joyous day that was. I am pretty certain I had… [Read More]

I grew up surrounded by my father’s family. For as many years as I can remember I spent every holiday and break with my grandmother Peaches. She was was like royalty in my heart and she adored me.  I was her more than her granddaughter. I always assumed that my children would have the same… [Read More]

Tonight was my daughter’s last night in the nursery class at church. This Sunday she turns 3 and moves up to the preschool ministry class. Lu absolutely loves going to church and that is due to the fact that the ministry workers are so absolutely amazing. They love their jobs, they love the kids and… [Read More]

The past few posts have been a little heavy. I thought I would lighten it up by giving thanks for one of my absolutely favorite treats – Sweet Tea. Well, treat might not be the best word to describe my addiction. I love sweet tea. I have always loved it. I do not remember a… [Read More]

As I have been praying for various topics to be thankful, I have felt that God has been revealing to me the growth and healing that I have had through losses in my life. I have not been spared the grief associated with unexpected loss. From my best friend being killed by a drunk driver… [Read More]
