I love infomercials. Seriously, I find them very entertaining and at times inspiring. I actually have an appreciation for the people who strive to invent things to make our lives easier. In some ways I think that's part of the job description for pastors and their families. We take scripture and Biblical principles and we try [...]
Home Sweet Home
This week we were able to visit Barry's parents and introduce our little boy to the great state of Iowa. It has been such a refreshing week. The weather has been beautiful and the company has been terrific! We have enjoyed mornings with the windows open, dinners on the porch and lot's of love and laughs. We have treasured each and [...]
The Wastelands
Boxes lined the hallway as I made my way outside. Barry was loading the remaining items into the U-Haul. We turned around to soak in the view of our adorable house. We had recently placed a huge amount of time and effort into fixing up the place. It oozed with Bishop handiwork. Barry and I spent our [...]
Stuck at KFC
This is how Barry and I passed the time when we were stuck in the drive thru of KFC for an exceptionally healthy dinner a while back. Actually, we were headed to a costume party and this is what we decided to bring as our "pot luck" dish...since I can't cook and we didn't want [...]
New Blog Look
Okay, I'm still trying to find a blog "theme" that I like. There are not very many to choose from on WordPress, so I'm giving this one a shot. It seems to be more user-friendly. I'm sure I'll change it around again in a couple of months. 🙂 I hope you all had a wonderful [...]
Never Forgotten
Okay, from memory right now I am going to try to name all of Snow White's seven dwarfs. Here I go... 1. Sleepy 2. Sneezy 3. Dopey 4. Happy 5. Bashful and I can't remember the other ones. Who I am missing? Oh yeah...Doc and Grumpy. I tried this with Santa's Reindeer and the 12 [...]
Mourning to Morning
Weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning. ~ Psalm 30:5 Barry and I were out running errands when we received a call to go to the hospital immediately. One of our church members had a relative that was in a severe boating accident. We had no idea what to expect when we arrived, [...]
The Perfect Storm
I sat there in disbelief. All eyes were on the television. Each person waited on the one word we feared the most... EVACUATION. I couldn't believe it and neither could the sweet girl who had carefully placed chemicals on my hair only minutes before. The entire salon was silent for a moment and then there was a deafening buzz of [...]
Steering Through Chaos – Book Review
As a student at Oak Cliff Assembly of God in the 1990's I had the incredible privilege of having Scott Wilson as my youth pastor. I can remember being so excited when I was accepted onto the youth leadership team. Even then it was evident that Scott had the ability to develop leaders and equip them for the [...]
Mindful of My Mind (part 2)
Growing up, my mother dealt with depression. To say that she suffered heartache as a young woman would not do her pain justice. She lost her mother to cancer at 19, her grandfather to cancer at 20 and her cousin, which was like a brother, drowned tragically when she was 21. In the midst of this she got married and not [...]
