Wow

1 Comment

As I sat down to write I was struck by the fact that I didn't quite know where to begin. Suffice it to say I have had quite the twenty four hours. Yesterday I was on a one hour conference call with some amazingly gifted and Godly folks who believe, really believe in the book I have written and want to work with me to get it into the hands of moms.

Teen Watch

Leave a Comment

Raising teenagers really is a wonderful thing and the relational bond made through the years serves as an anchor in times of tumult.

Now, more than ever, that navigation requires intentional steering and a hand always at the ready to toss out a life preserver of truth.

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!

Substitute Teaching Success

2 Comments

  I have served as a substitute teacher for many years. Mainly because I like getting to know my children's peers and understanding their world. My enjoyment of substitute teaching ramped up once my kids became tweens/teens because pouring into the lives of kids that age can have long term ramifications. That happened today. A teen boy was being disobedient, not doing as instructed and he was choosing to be a royal pest to the … [Read more...]
