“Secretly incredible people just do things.” (from Love Does by Bob Goff) Last Sunday, as we were rehearsing music for worship team, my friend and I had a “moment.” Our worship pastor was working out some details with the musicians (which usually means I can zone out for a minute because I don’t understand musician […]

share via emailWhen You Don’t Like God’s Will
So, when you or the people around you are following what we Christians like to call “God’s will,” everything is supposed to be great, right? Life is full of peace and joy and every day feels victorious, right? Umm, WRONG! The peace part, now that part has been true for me. In fact, sometimes that’s […]
A Risk Worth Taking
It is so entertaining to watch kids engage in the world. Sometimes you can tell so much about who they are just by observing (they certainly observe us and know us well!). And sometimes, as I watch and learn from my most entertaining little characters, I find myself challenged. I wonder if they possess qualities […]
The Empty Waffle Box and Other “Endearing” Differences
Heading home from vacation, it occurred to me that traveling is a great way to highlight the differences between males and females. Keith and I have fallen into our respective roles – he drives (as efficiently as his family will allow) and I hand out snacks, change movies, organize electronics, gather trash, refill sippy cups, […]
Perspective . . . parked by a dumpster, on a rainy day, at a tiny rural gas station

Embracing and Letting Go
The other night I had an interesting experience with my daughters. My 8-year-old, Carlie, wanted to sleep in my bed (something I rarely agree to, but Keith was out of town, so I relented). As we were lying in bed, both reading books to get sleepy, she seemed so grown up, and I realized how […]
Poop Shoes
I sent a picture of these shoes to a friend while shopping a few days ago and here’s a peak into that text: Me: “Look at these Keens – don’t they look like someone stepped in dog poop? That designer should be fired.” Friend: “Haha! Were you tempted to try them on?” Me: “Sadly, I […]
Merry Christmas
So tonight, on Christmas Eve, Tamson will learn she has her very own blog. I love her completely and totally and hope that in 2014 and beyond we can find time in our schedule to let Tamson write. She is a beautiful writer with much to give. Keith
