Pulling in the reins!  Tightening up the ship!  Whatever you choose to call it, there are times when things just get away from us and we need to STOP in our tracks,  re-group and get back to the tried and true.  We need to get back to what we know works!  Life has a way…

When I was a full-time career gal, working as a legal secretary, my employer and I were fond of saying on Monday mornings that “re-entry is the hard part”.  It was so hard, in those days, to go back to work after enjoying a weekend at home with my family.  I am so very thankful…

    Have you ever spent longer than you expected in reading a book?  I have, on many occasions.  Sometimes it is a case of the book being a very meaty text, causing me to read just little bits at a time so that I can soak them in.  On other occasions, I’ve started a book…

     “How does life in each room of your home manifest the Gospel?  The Christian gospel isn’t just a spiritual reality.  The Word became flesh and bone, and the gospel becomes our porch, dining room, and kitchen.  The driving desire of the gospel is “my life for yours.”  Our desire should be to have this…

That’s what I said, frequently, to my husband this last week.  “Hey, we’re  cruisin’ “, or something quite similar.  Truth be told, I always thought that cruise vacations were for the hoity-toity crowd.  Folks who would be dressed to the nines with their fancy sportswear by day and classy evening wear by night.  I have…

Now remember!  You all were sworn to secrecy about what happened here while our mom was gone!  Especially if you saw that one thing before we decided to delete it!
