Filming, Day 3
Nov 03, 2010We awoke to rain and a cold wind this morning – not what we’d hoped would happen for an outdoor shoot. The Lifeway crew, here from way up north in Nashville, hadn’t really come prepared for wintery temperatures, so a quick trip to Walmart for sweatshirts and hats was in order. Fortunately, the morning shoot […]

Read MoreFrugal Holidays?
Oct 31, 2010November marks the beginning of the end, for me. I mean the end of the year, of course – which is actually the start of the holiday season. This year, I want to plan my gift-giving and event coordinating to coincide with my pocketbook contents so that when 2011 rolls around I’m not digging my […]
Read MoreAbiding in the Shadow
Oct 28, 2010He who dwells in the shelter of the Most Highwill abide in the shadow of the Almighty. Ps. 91:1 I’ve been thinking about abiding in His shadow lately. My kids used to play a game that they thought was fun, called “Step on Mommy’s Shadow.” They would hop and run alongside me while I tried […]
Read MorePraying…While Doing Hair?
Oct 27, 2010I love Regina. She’s been doing my hair for well over 7 years now. She’s the perfect stylist for me as my mane doesn’t need a meek, timid handler. It requires someone with tenacity and courage, who doesn’t mind tackling it aggressively. I knew she was the stylist for me, the very first time I […]
Read MoreHey There, Punkin!
Oct 26, 2010The minute I thought they wouldn’t be in danger of melting in the hot Texas sun, I put a few pots of mums and three pumpkins out in front of my house. Even though the calendar says “Fall,” it is taking awhile for the weather to come to its senses and just CHILL OUT. Two of […]
Read MoreEnough
Oct 25, 2010Whenever I am discouraged about the things that are “lacking” in my life, somehow God brings me back around to Habakkuk 3:17-19. I love these words. Though the fig tree does not bud, and there are no grapes on the vines, though the olive crop fails and the fields produce no food, though there are […]
Read MoreEternal Home
Oct 21, 2010Yesterday, my friend Denise went home to be with the Lord. The day before her death, I went to visit her bedside. She’d been bound to her bed for months at this point. Cancer permeated so much of her body that, months ago, doctors told her there was nothing more that they could do. When […]
Read More“Constructive Criticism”
Oct 20, 2010Responding well to criticism is something that I struggle with. I tend to take it personally and start beating myself up at the first hint that I’m not measuring up in some way. And then come the tears – agh! You’d think I’d have it more together by now.My husband has learned to couch his […]
