Have you ever had mono? If you have, you know how tired it can make you feel. You go through your day in a fog. You try to engage in the lives of those around you, but you feel less than there most days. You pretend all is normal as…

I have had a wonderful Christmas break here in Indiana. I’m home with my entire family and we were blessed with fourteen inches of snow the day after Christmas. We built two amazing snow forts and had a great snowball fight. I awoke to another three inches on the ground…

Life is crazy. There is no denying that. If you have children, or a pet, I’m sure you understand where I’m going before I even start. It’s the little things in life that seem to make mountain out of mole hills. Your kid throws up in your van and gets…

As many of you know, my son has food allergies. We’ve been avoiding wheat and eggs for over 6 years now. It’s been a long journey, to say the least. At the same time, it is all worth the effort knowing he is alive and well. When we began our…

I’ve had the type of week where I have gone through the motions. This has not been my deliberate choice. I have gone through the motions just to survive. There have been various tasks to complete, goals to accomplish, promises to keep and jobs to be done. There were people counting…

Reading books. Playing on the computer. Organizing more when it’s really already good enough. Picking up the house. Watching a movie. Doing laundry. Scrapbooking. Ironing. Sitting. Playing games.

I have been mulling over the song, “Blessings”, by Laura Story for a couple of weeks now. The one line I’m still stuck on is: “What if the trials of this life are His mercies in disguise?” Of course, I had to look up the definition of mercy. Here’s what…

I remember taking reading comprehension tests in school and wondered as I was reading the stories, why should this interest me? Seriously, this story is a made up story only for the purpose of taking a test. There is no validity to any of this. Why should I care why…

Diligently. This word struck me funny today during my devotions, so I took a moment to look up Scripture on being diligent. The one I liked the best was Hebrews 4:11 (NASB), but let’s also include verses 9-10: “So there remains a Sabbath rest for the people of God. For…
