Running the Race
We started at the little school where my girls go when Bella Kate was in the second grade. Never in a million years did I EVER think we would send our kids to a private school, but things change. So in the year 2020, we decided to switch schools and Bella Kate started her second…
Will my ink run out?
One Sunday morning, we were getting ready to start our worship service. Carly had gone to the restroom and while she was gone, Bella Kate had used Carly’s paper (but had used her own pens) to draw a picture on the back. When Carly returned, she asked to use the pens to finish the picture…
Super Mario and Sin
Recently John rented “Super Mario Brothers” for us to watch on family movie and pizza night. In one of the scenes, Mario and Luigi are down in the sewage system of the city. As they are looking around, Mario suddenly realizes that Luigi is no longer with him. As Mario calls out Luigi’s name, he…
Be Still and Know!
The first time I remember hearing the verse “Be Still and know that I am God” was when I was a teenager at Short Mountain Bible Camp. Because there were few campers from my small country church, we would simply tag along with another church for camp in the summers. Mr. Herb was the leader…
Lollipops and God
On Sunday mornings, we try to have a dollar for each of the girls to have something to put in the collection plate. A few Sunday’s ago, Carly (age 6) looked up at me and asked me if I had a dollar for her. I told her that I had forgotten to grab one that…

Tangled
I still remember being a little girl and having to get my hair brushed. OH THE HORROR! I am NOT a vain person, but when I was a little girl, I had the most beautiful head of thick, platinum blonde hair ever! Though I loved to dress up, I never liked fixing my hair. I…
Lost
Somewhere along the way, I lost myself. I’m not even sure which road I was on at the time. I’m not sure of the day or the month. But one day, I looked up, and I was gone. I was replaced by someone who looked an awful lot like me. She sounded a lot like…
