There are some big "goin on's" happening in early February that you need to know about! I trust you have heard of West Monroe Louisiana - a few guys with beards and some hand hewn duck calls pretty much put that corner of the world on the map. And the little town of West Monroe is about to be over run by large groups of women who are driving and flying in from all over the country to attend the Heart To Home conference on February 6th and 7th … [Read more...]

#MomsTakeHollywood
Don’t you figure deep down inside Hollywood types just want to be treated like everyone else? I suppose most are just regular peeps placed in extraordinary circumstances and those around them lift them up to positions they don’t necessarily want to be lofted to!

Meet Sally Lloyd Jones – Jesus Story Book Bible
Sometimes I stand amazed at the sweet love filled souls who are finely tuned to hear God's voice and how they then share that gift with others through their writing.

Karen Ehman – I Get To!
When I met Karen Ehman I noticed lots of smiles and lots of spunk. It is fun to "know" someone on line and then meet them in person and realize their "on-line" heart is as big as their in person heart. I so enjoyed asking Karen a "bunch" of questions and look forward to you reaping the rewards from her heartfelt answers! Her words today will help you realize the hum drum of momlife should be seen as "I Get To" not "I Have To" - brilliant! … [Read more...]
