Fill ‘Er Up
This year’s conference topic for our staff at Best Life Ministries is a much needed one for today’s busy woman: Fill ‘Er Up. Everywhere we went; everywhere we looked…women were tired. They were pushing the pedal to the metal, but the car was on empty. Women were telling us that morning after morning, they ...
Extreme Couponing
I stood in line with Deano. Our grandson, Jonah, had just spilled colorful m&ms all over our aisle. Okay, I did it. I spilled them. He had set the opened bag on my coat. I struggled to reach in my purse for the coupons, and as I pulled them out, I could still remember the ...
Your Road…Your Life
Psalm 119:1 “You’re blessed when you stay on course, walking steadily on the road revealed by God.” This past month, I have listened and prayed with several friends who have been struggling. People are telling them to do this. To do that. They are stretched, pulled, and cornered. I know how they feel. Perhaps ...
When God Calls
Middle daughter, Chandra, called me today. “Mom? Are you praying?” she asked. “Of course, honey! Why?” “God’s not answering fast enough. Why can’t He just call me on my cell phone? This week has been a difficult one. I am only to Wednesday. I’d like a call. A call from God. And then, ...
Burned Bagels
“I’d like a cup of coffee and one plain bagel….burned.” the man next to me in line said to the kind clerk behind the Panera counter. “Huh?” she asked. “Why burned?” “It’s got substance….weight….it’s tougher…it holds together.” He answered. That’s weird I thought. And then I watched him for a brief moment as he ...
Problem Solving
With the start of a New Year…we always have new resolutions. With the start of those New Year’s resolutions, there always come thoughts, concerns, comparisons, and ideas. But as I have been chatting with various friends and family members, I see a thin thread of similarity everywhere I turn. Life is hard. It’s not ...
Sing Happy Birthday
I handed him the Fruit Loops and pushed the cart towards the milk aisle. Jonah asked , “What’s ish, Nanny?” “Cereal,” I replied. “What’s ish, Nanny?” “Yogurt,” I answered as he pointed over to the Yoplait carton. The mind of a two and a half year old is so interesting to me. There we ...
The Christmas Drama: The Baby
I can recall every moment of the deliveries of my three girls. The first two were horrific; the last with Jenessa was quick and easy. But I know this, pain is pain and the delivery of any child is one filled with pain, and ends with joy. As we have reflected on Mary, Joseph ...
The Christmas Drama: The Shepherds
Always chosen last at basketball (and that’s fine because I would always chose basketball last myself), a bold Christian in a school of many non-believers, quirky, creative and generally speaking, an artist, I have experienced the….no….we don’t really want you because you’re the odd man out. Have you ever experienced this? Perhaps not. For me, ...
The Christmas Drama: Joseph
I remember the day that Farmer Dean and I went to the cities to an antique store to look for an engagement ring. I had never seen him so nervous. I perused the lovely trays of old rings from the 1920’s and ‘30’s and enjoyed each moment of trying them on. “What do you think ...
