Barry and I spoke with an old friend last night and in the midst of the conversation he mentioned something that I can't get out of my head. He said: "The average life span consists of roughly 70 years. 70 years equals around 25,000 mornings. Don't allow anything to stand in the way of you [...]
Category: For Minister’s Wives
Can No = Yes?
When Barry and I came to California to interview for the ministry position at our current church, we fell in love with everyone and everything immediately. We realized within hours of our arrival that we were home. During that weekend we engaged in a number of conversations with the elders and pastors, church leaders and youth. [...]
Are You Afraid Too?
I am Afraid...but I don't want to be... Recently I logged on to Anne Jackson's blog and read an old post titled "Are You Afraid to be Amazing?" Anne's blog is wonderful and if you would like to check it out, you can click here. Here's the excerpt from Anne's post that got my attention: I wish I had [...]
Wrestle vs. Run
"Babe, you've wrestled with God a number of times in your life...but you never ran away from Him." I looked up to see Barry smiling in my direction as he spoke. I was slightly downcast, feeling as though my blog has become an absolute beast. 🙂 I never really intended for this to be more than [...]
Define Me

A Transparent Life (part 3)
What is correction, how should Christians handle it and why is it needed? I've pondered all of these questions through the years. I've flourished because of a gentle and timely correction and as you may have read in my last post...I've withered as the result of harsh words spoken in an untimely manner. So, how [...]
A Transparent Life (part 2)
It was 2007 and I had just recuperated from a painful miscarriage. After almost five years of marriage, I was ready to become a mother. My arms were empty and my heart was aching. I spent months planning and preparing my body to be able to carry a child to full term. My eye was [...]
A Transparent Life (part 1)
I grew up telling on myself. If I did something wrong and I felt guilty...I couldn't keep it a secret for very long. But, if I did something that someone else thought was incorrect and I didn't agree...well then, too bad for everyone involved. I wasn't going to budge, much less offer up an apology. Not until [...]
Better Late than Never
We raced to the terminal, dragging our luggage behind us as we ran. I was out of breath by the time we reached the irritated attendant at the flight desk. She displayed her aggravation with great pleasure by rolling her eyes and sighing loudly. But, at that moment, I really didn't care that I had become [...]
