A mom of toddlers saw me reading at our neighborhood pool and asked me if the day would ever come when she would be able to sit at the pool and read. I laughed and told her I remember wondering the same thing when my boys were little. I happen to be in a season […]

My Biblical hero is Jochebed, Moses’s mother (Exodus 6:20). This woman had faith and fight. Jochebed was a Levite woman of Israeli descent living with her people in Egypt. The Israelites were slaves to the Egyptians. Jochebed finds herself pregnant and gives birth to a son, Moses. Pharaoh gives an edict to kill every Hebrew […]

The 2019-2020 school year ended like none of us would have ever dreamed or imagined. If you are a teacher or student, you understand that relationships on screen are taxing and you appreciate more than ever the adrenaline we all receive from interacting face to face on our school campuses. I grieve the loss of […]

‘Wash your hands’ and ‘eat your greens’ were frequently said by my dad when I was growing up. Fortunately, he instilled more in me than good hygiene and healthy food choices, like a love for the Carolina coast, Carolina Beach music, the importance of communication and heritage, and how to throw a football, read a […]

Before the severity of the coronavirus hit Nashville, I journaled these words on March 8 – ‘Sports leagues are getting away with robbing families of their Sabbaths, family time, and getting kids in bed at a decent time. No one stands up and does anything about it. I wish someone would pull an Eric Liddell.’ […]

I’ve wrapped my Christmas gifts in brown packaging paper with beautiful bows since I was in college. Now, my artistic husband draws on the Kraft paper for our boys, other family members, and dear friends. Showing his art work in my featured image for this post is me testifying about his talent. Isn’t the news […]

I went whitewater rafting in college with a guy I was dating and his family. Growing up in the Carolinas, I’d been rafting plenty of times before on the Ocoee and Nantahala. I was used to being on the river. But this day, I almost didn’t survive the trip. Our raft hit a rapid, and […]

“The divine coming which sets the world of the angels in motion, fills the devil’s empire with alarm, yes, even causes Satan to fall from heaven, permeates and transmits itself in everything and in all who are touched by it . . . It confronts man with the necessity of making all-important decisions that will […]

I’m in one of my favorite places in the world. It’s a place that allows me to think, write, and listen to the Lord as I’m in his Word. I’ve traveled to five of our seven continents (still waiting on Australia and Antarctica!), yet one of the most beautiful and calming places to me is […]
