Coming Alongside - The whole idea of helping each other, of physically coming alongside and working with one another in our weakest times, is scriptural. I love this passage that shows Aaron and Hur physically holding up Moses’ hands. Exodus 17:10-13 So Joshua fought the Amalekites as Moses had ordered, and Moses, Aaron and Hur […]
[continue]So often we view our lives in small chunks: school, college, working, family, mid-life, kids moving out, retirement. We move from day to day, until we reach the next segment. If that’s the way we’re living life, I’m here to tell us (yes, you and me) that we’re missing out. No, we’re not skipping over a segment of […]
[continue]“God sightings” is how my children refer to them – those times when you have loved or served or given, as God might. Those times when you know that a thing was possible only because of God. Because God showed up - He intervened - and took what we had to offer and used it […]

[continue]This is the final post in the “Can We Be Real?” series. The first post was About Me, because you don’t want to take a journey with people you don’t know, right? There were some great comments on that post! The second post in this series was about Craving Real Friendships - as in, authentic relationships. […]
[continue]Life is filled with many choices, and many opportunities to make good choices - choices that help others. But what happens when these choices - life-giving choices - bring fear? Do we soldier on because we know we’re making a right choice, or do we stop and reconsider? Recently, my paperwork came in to renew […]
[continue]Happy birthday to my oldest, who is now a TEENAGER! He has blessed our lives in so many ways. He’s a wonderful son, an awesome big brother, a great friend. Happy birthday to the son we thought would be born on April 21st, but waited to make his appearance until April 22nd so he could […]
