Tips Getting Your Kids to Eat Healthier
Our crew had dental cleanings this past week and two of them had small cavities. Several years ago we had the same problem. I was told that it was largely hereditary and there was really nothing I could do about it. I didn’t feel like that was totally accurate. It was about this time that [...]
Butter Cookies
When my older children were younger, we would often make “sugar” cookies for the different holidays. We had all sorts of cookie cutters. The kids loved rolling out the dough, cutting out their cookie, and then of course loading it down with a ton of icing and colored sprinkles. Then I went through my healthy [...]
What Can Prevent Racism? Part 2
Last weekend I posted an article on racism and my long time friend, Beth from Remade Ministries posed a very good question… [I]f Darwin’s theory of evolution feeds and stirs the pot of racism, then why in history are some of the most egregious forms of racism and acts upon inferiority done by Christians themselves?

What Can Prevent Racism?
I am reaching outside my comfort zone as I write this article, but the topic has been heavy on my heart this week.

7 Tips on Letting the Lord Lead
On Friday I spoke a little about planting seeds, or putting ideas into motion. As I mentioned in that post, I have a shelf full of notebooks where I write down all my ideas. It seems that I am very rarely short on ideas, but my time and resources continually limited. So what is a [...]
Why I Want to Go to the 2:1 Conference
Do you have a shelf to put your brain on? I do. I call it my “thinking shelf”. It is full of notebooks and binders filled with my thoughts. I don’t journal, as that would take steadfastness and routine. I am working on keeping a schedule and persevering to complete the tasks I begin, but [...]
