One of my favorite childhood movies was Homeward Bound. A tale of some pets who got separated from their owners and wrongly assumed they had been permanently left behind. Not to spoil it, but two dogs and a cat go on an adventure of their lives to reunite with the family they thought they had…

It was just after the rainstorm that I headed out to pull weeds one morning. The overgrowth of weeds in the summer has a way of leaving me overwhelmed and exhausted. Lush flowerbeds that were beautiful in the spring have been left with no choice but to dry out in thick, oppressive heat. This all…

“They are so ungrateful” is a comment my husband and I make about our sons more often that I would like to admit. We wrack our brains at how our children, who have bountiful blessings, could be so out of touch with how fortunate they really are. Now, our family is by no means in…

We don’t go out of town often, but when we do, I know I will be met with multiple renditions of the same question from my little passengers. “Mom, how much longer?” “Mom, are we almost there?” “Mom, how many more minutes?” “Mom, are we close?” All of these questions reflect their uncomfortability with not…

Interestingly enough, malls and department stores that have been quiet and vacant for the previous 10 months are hustling and bustling as people seek to spend lots of money on things that fit the…

Winter is coming, I can feel it in my bones. The dry, unforgiving climate for vegetation is excitedly waiting to impart its doom and gloom. The sun hides its face in the early hours of evening and clouds of overcast hang their banners in the sky. Creation groans in the barren trees and fickle winds…

I have a game I like to play with myself after I’ve gotten a load of groceries. The game is simple, how many bags can I carry at once? Let the circulation of my fingers be cut off if it means I only have to make one trip to carry all the bags at once!…

I feel like I’m in a fever dream. In recent days, the enemy seems to have such a foothold on the family and God’s design for it. He is able to slither in and get in bed with husbands and wives, whispering false promises of lasting pleasure elsewhere. He is able to pull fathers away…
