Usually Monday is "Music Monday" around here and I post some music for your listening enjoyment because I love my music...and it makes me happy to share the tunes I enjoy with you! However, today I felt I must send you over to MomLife Today and ask you to read the post we ran on Friday afternoon. And then I'm hoping you'll go one step further and place a link to that post on your own site, or facebook page and spread the word. You will be … [Read more...]

Point of Grace = Fun
Serving at FamilyLife and getting to be a part of what we do to minister to couples is an amazing blessing. When hubby and I were blessed with the opportunity last week to go on the Love Like You Mean It Cruise - it was especially fun - and as previously proven I am ALL ABOUT fun! So, traveling is always a bit hectic and dicey and last week we went through all the big bad hassle of traveling to Florida to go on this amazing five day Love Like … [Read more...]
Family Matters Blog Shout Out
One of the best books I have ever read on parenting is Raising Kids for True Greatness by Tim Kimmel. I never would have imagined when I read that book that someday I would be blogging on his FamilyMatters Blog! How crazy is that? I think God really enjoys blessing us in ways that makes us literally giggle! I hope you will join me over at their site today as I give a bit of advice on how to keep your children from being terrified of … [Read more...]
The Unseen Teen
Her alarm goes off, she hits snooze and snuggles in a little deeper, the bed is safe and warm and away from eyes and opinions never uttered, but understood through the silence. Come back illusive dream…for that is the only time she experiences that spark of joy and acceptance from another’s eyes. Buzz. Buzz. Buzz. Heavy sigh… she realizes she has to get up – no matter her desire to remain hermit like safe. She moves silently … [Read more...]
Substitute Teaching High School Students – part 2
Yesterday I was sharing with you my perspective as a substitute teacher…my thoughts and insights continue here today… Students spend lots of money in vending machines…even if they have a lunch. There are still students who are overlooked and ignored…there are still students that reach out to them. Students think substitute teachers sitting at a desk don’t have ears to hear…and they are doing things that would shock their … [Read more...]
Substitute Teaching High School Students
Some people think I am crazy, but I really enjoy substitute teaching Middle School and High School students! Especially since it gives me an up close look into the lives of my teens, their peers and their world. You think things were tough when we were teens…ramp it up X 1,000 – at least! But it is interesting that in some ways the more things change, the more they stay the same. Below are some insights into my days while teaching … [Read more...]
Veteran’s Day Salute
Tomorrow is Veteran's Day. I trust you will have a conversation with your children about what that means. I hope you will take the time to pray for our soldiers. I hope you will remember and honor those who sacrifice so much for others. … [Read more...]
Philadelphia Opera in Macy’s! Music Monday
As one who used to sing in a church choir, raising my voice singing praise to my Savior, holds deep meaning. I am struck by the irony that in America today some would want to silence these voices because of the very words they are singing. I suppose referring to it as a "cultural act" allows it to happen. Regardless ... He shall reign forever and ever! Enjoy! … [Read more...]
Board Dinner (no pressure there!)
So, when asked to host the Board of Directors of FamilyLife for dinner at my home I readily accepted, thinking...that'll be fun! Really? Fun? What was I thinking? OK, it did end up being fun, because they are an amazing group of men, but I am here to confess I jumped into my crazy cycle for a little while. It went something like this, oh no... my home is too small what will I prepare? how much will they eat? my home is too … [Read more...]
