Tummy Butterflies and New Beginnings
Nov 18, 2010I asked my son if he felt a little nervous. We were on our way to the high school for his first orientation and were just about to turn onto the campus. He shot me a smile and a sideways glance and said “yep.” He pressed his hand to his stomach as if to […]

Read MoreHousewives of God
Nov 14, 2010Well, my friend, a couple weeks ago I mentioned to you that the NY Times was going to be running an article on our ministry in their magazine.

Read MoreWhew, What a Week!
Nov 08, 20104:45 pm Monday I just woke up. . . I’m serious. I just rolled over and opened my eyes from the most glorious two hour nap; partly because it is the ONLY two hour nap I’ve had in months. It felt good and I’m grateful. My body was begging for it! It’s been a fast […]

Nov 04, 2010I promised that I would make chocolate chip cookies for my son last night, so he could have them warm from the oven after his hockey game. But horrors! I found that I was out of vanilla after I’d already started mixing up the dough. A quick call to a neighbor saved the batch – […]
