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 [...]
I’m sure many of you are making plans to celebrate the Resurrection of Jesus Christ in just a few days. We are having a whole house full of people over to enjoy a meal on Sunday. We have a white plastic cross in our yard that people passing by our house will see as plain [...]

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 [...]
