I love the phrase "Back to the Basics." That is used all the time around our house. Whenever we feel the busyness of life taking over we simply remind ourselves of this powerful phrase. The other night after youth group Barry and I sat and talked for a couple of hours. It was fun and so [...]

Truth Without Walls
Lately I've been doing a lot of thinking about my blog. As some of you know I started a page on my blog titled My Story. It recalls the time that Barry and I spent on a church staff years ago. That was a very difficult time in our life, marriage and ministry. We whole heartedly [...]
I Know Him
We were the only ones in the waiting room. It was quiet, and somewhat cozy. Pictures lined the walls, countless success stories all captured on film. Some of them cute, and others...well...not so cute. Barry leaned over and whispered in my ear " Are you sure this is legit, I mean there is really no way [...]
Renewing My Mind
Have you ever had to take inventory of your life? Ugh, it's such a pain in the butt. I know none of us are perfect, and it certainly makes it difficult when we begin the process of sifting through old habits, hurts, mentalities and actions. It seems like all the bad stuff just suddenly emerges [...]

Champion for the People
I heard a phrase today and it has stuck with me all afternoon. It was used to describe one of the church staff members . The phrase was "Champion for the People." My heart was instantly moved at this thought. One of my favorite scripture verses about Jesus is where He is referred to as [...]
Heartache to Healing
Update: The My Story Page is no longer password protected. Thanks - Jana Over the last week, I've corresponded with a number of people regarding a new page on my blog. It's titled My Story... To be perfectly honest it should be called Our Story because so many people I know can relate. I wish [...]
Which Jesus do you Picture?
We went to a friends college graduation party yesterday and as always, I love seeing the artwork in people's homes. I feel like it represents them or shows a piece of their soul. So, in my usual fashion...I was snooping around. As my eyes soaked in their gorgeous home, I noticed a hand drawn picture framed in their entry [...]
