Finally, I can speak again. Not that I couldn’t before, but I was pre-occupied. Together with my coworkers at LifeChurch.tv, I have been fasting–for 21 days. Not a full fast where you eat nothing, but I ate NO sweets, breads, soda, coffee; basically I just ate fruit, veggies, whole grains, nuts, eggs and a smattering [...]

The Real Reason
I posted this picture last year with the story behind it here. I can’t resist reposting the pic. It’s my favorite, even though it was taken 10 years ago.
Yes, the real reason for celebrating Christmas is JESUS. But the reason He came is US….for our salvation. I’m grateful and can’t stop thinking about what He [...]

My mind-opened up for all to see.
Balance. I’ve been praying for it, searching for it. Especially as it pertains to the way I feel about the “H” word. But is balance a good thing? It occurred to me that it’s possible for balance to be the same as compromise. I don’t like that idea.
Last month, I announced that I’m only [...]

Don’t “miss out” on the dryer sheets tip
I want to write a blog post. I’ve got some swirling around in my head right now, or at least I did earlier when I was afc (away from computer). Right now I’m going to try and type without looking at the compyter. Head is back, eyes clsed. You see, my mind is working…tired, but [...]

C.A.R. time
I love to pray. What I don’t love is when my prayers turn into a laundry list of needs to God. OR when they are just reactions to something that just happened or something I said. (most often those are prayers for forgiveness O_o)
So, how do you make it something different? I’ve heard lots of [...]

The Art of Judging
I’m a judger. I don’t wanna be. But as I struggle to sort out my thoughts and feelings about certain things, then finally determine a stance on a certain issue, there is always going to be another side. If I’ve reasoned rationally, then I have decided NOT to choose one side for a really good [...]

My Eulogy-second attempt
So, what will they say about me when I’m gone? and when I say “they”, I mean my family, my friends, my kids, everyone. Wow, that’s an overwhelming thought. Maybe because they wouldn’t all say the same thing exactly.
I don’t know how to start, so I’ll just start…probably in the middle.
Cari’s not here anymore. She’s [...]

Silence, Please
In a state of deep reflection
Trying to sort out feelings, thoughts, opinions, ideals
If only I could silence the noise and distractions long enough to sort it out
If I don’t, the opportunity is lost forever–slipping through the cracks made by noise
Meditate, concentrate on these things for long enough, revelation comes
Beautiful Revelation, the kind the only come [...]

What kind of music is God’s favorite?
I walked by Cory’s room the other night and heard the most awful noise coming from his room. The guttural screaming was almost unbearable to these 40 year old ears. Does my child actually enjoy listening to scream-o music? What have I done?? I’ve failed as a parent. just kidding. but, really…it’s awful.
I knocked on [...]
