Authentic Fan?
As we all prepare to watch the Super Bowl, I was struck with the thought- what would you think of a person decked out in Kansas City Chiefs gear and face paint, but saying “Go Eagles.” That’s not a real fan. Anyone can buy a jersey and put on some paint? Right? Maybe...
So Much STUFF
As most of you know, I have six kids. Three girls and three boys. And they’re really close in age- 14, 13, 11, 10, 8, and 6. The three girls are those middle numbers- 11, 10 and 8, and they get to share a room. Just last week my husband came downstairs while I was...
Hiking Lesson- Look Up
After Covid shut the world down in 2020, our family started a new hobby- hiking. Well, at the time our kids were 1, 3, 5, 6, 8, and 9 so it was more like walks in the woods. Nonetheless, we hit up AllTrails and found the hikes in the area we thought we could handle....

Locker Room
Christians, There’s a mission field out there. And we are called to be the hands and feet, the mouth piece of the Lord. We are to go out and make disciples of all nations. And in all fairness I think it should start right here with our nation! There are people in your...
Be Salty Stay Lit
“You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled underfoot." Jesus called his followers "SALT of the earth." Salt is used as a preservative and...
Let God Use You!
Isn’t it amazing that the God of the Universe chooses to use us for His glory! Over the past couple of weeks, I have been privileged to hear testimony after testimony of how God intervened in people’s lives. And as I have listened to these amazing stories, I see how...
