Well, I did it again – I filled my home with about a dozen teen boys for the better part of a weekend! Some of my friends think I’m a bit nuts when I choose to invite droves of teenagers over. They don’t quite get why I would choose to fill my home with all the noise, the eating, the shoving, the laughter, the dirt, the smells, the in and out. They ask, “Isn’t it just too much trouble?” Yeah...it is a bit of pain, but the rewards outweigh … [Read more...]

Wordless Fall
There are days, and even sometimes weeks, where the word well runs dry. Anyone who writes knows this parched-ness and most of us fear it. For me, I sort of embrace it and recognize that during the times of dryness I am more involved in the real world and choose not to pull away. If you are a writer you know what I mean. Sometimes the pull to bury my head in words is so strong that I can be neglectful of the other joy giving things in my … [Read more...]
Oh No She Didn’t!
I have been called a lot of things in my life time...I can now add "gutwrenchingly controlling" to the list! And believe it or not, I am quite proud of that title! When my teen daughter gave it to me I winced at first, but then I decided it was a badge of honor. If you would like to get the full story join me over on FamilyMatters blog where I am guest posting! For fun, once you read the post leave a comment at FamilyMatters blog on what … [Read more...]
Six Word Challenge
This morning as I was turning the page in my Bible I zeroed in on six words and sat staring at the page. My mind filled with thoughts from my past...and my present. I became somewhat mesmerized as I contemplated what I was peering down at. I have long been amazed at how my Heavenly Father speaks to me and reveals Himself through His word. There are passages that I have been known to camp out on for quite some time as it seems a nuance is … [Read more...]

Book Title Decided
Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy! I always knew the working title I had for my book would not remain the title as it didn't really reveal what the book was truly about. Well - Tyndale and Focus on the Family who are working together on my book project have agreed to the Title I suggested...with a bit of an add on in their subtitle. Drum roll please... The title of my book to be released in August of 2012 is... Be The Mom Subtitle: … [Read more...]
More Kids Equals More Fun
I was told my doctors that I would never have any children, so the fact that we were blessed with two in spite of my reproductive issues has always filled me with much gratitude and awe of God's grace. This week I have had six children...well, at least I have had four extra's in my home. To get the rest of the story and consider a challenge I am throwing out to you, join me over at Family Matters Blog where I am guest posting today! … [Read more...]
