Today I will continue my story concerning Mother’s Day and my personal tragedies, triumphs, and legacies (if you missed Part 1, see here). My husband Chris and I had been married for five years when we decided to have children. We tried for a year and no baby. We had the “tests” done, and I’ll [...]
This was the title of a presentation I gave at a church near Cincinnati this past Mother’s Day. While Mother’s Day is a joyous occasion for many, it is sad for many others. I shared with the congregation a major tragedy that I associate with this day—losing my mother when I was 23 years old. [...]
On my car radio the other day, I heard Steve Green’s song, “Find Us Faithful.” It’s an oldie but a goodie in my opinion! Let me share with you one of the verses and the chorus:
Verse:
After all our hopes and dreams have come and gone
And our children sift through all we’ve left behind

My colleague and friend Stacia McKeever, a speaker at our upcoming Answers for Women conference, wrote this blog about the use of the word “retarded” and the importance of teaching and reasoning from the Word of God that all people are image-bearers created to bring glory to God.

The Indiana Senate Education Committee voted 8-2 in [...]
Catchy title, don’t you think? (Thanks to my friend Stacia for her creativity.) This is the title for a new presentation I have developed on the issue of race with the subtitle, “How the Biblical Answer to Racism Impacts My Family.” As many of you know, my husband Chris and I adopted our daughter Elizabeth [...]
That’s right! The concepts of evolution and millions of years for the age of the earth seem to be popping up in the strangest places. Here are just a few examples.
On the back of a Kroger brand Frosted Flakes box there are several descriptions of animals including one of crocodiles that reads, “The crocodile has [...]
About a month ago, as we were getting Christmas decorations out of our basement, my daughter noticed an old black-and-white composition notebook in the bookcase. As she took it out and started to look at it, I realized it was an old prayer journal that I used to keep. For each entry I listed five [...]
Last week, my daughter Elizabeth saw a picture of a missing girl in one of the flyers for a retail store in our area.
