I live about four hours from my hometown.  That is actually pretty close compared to those I know who have to shell out several hundred dollars for airfare, use up a week of vacation time and withstand the "pat down" of disinterested TSA employees.  Still, I'm embarrassed to say I don't make it home very...

My small group is studying a book on prayer.  To be honest, I am not loving it and take issue with some of what is written.  Because of this, I delved into the next chapter with the thought of just getting it over with.  Crummy attitude, but I beg for a little grace as God... Continue Reading →

For the last 14 years, I have had the blessing of taking an annual car trip with my mom and sister. We so look forward to our time together. Time to catch up on the news, reconnect and just do nothing. We eat junk food, watch "stupid" television shows, shop, sunbathe and eat...oh, I said... Continue Reading →
