I wait for the Lord; my whole being waits, and I put my hope in his word. Psalm 130:5 When I was three, we lived in a house with a front door that had a tiny door cut into it to peek out at whoever was outside. I can remember one Sunday in particular. I…

Goodness Overflow
“JAMS, I need you to stop doing that.” “I need you to stop doing that NOW!” “OKAY, I AM COMING TO HELP YOU TO STOP DOING THAT!” I cannot tell you how often I say these exact phrases each day. Life with a curious, intelligent, and confident child can have its challenges as they exercise…
Sow Loud!
Happy New Year! Here we are in the season of pondering what life would look like if we made a few changes to better ourselves. I do it. January brings the idea of the promise of a new way of doing things. I always tend to think of losing the holiday celebration weight and moving…

That’s saying something because our kitchen is small according to today’s standards. Not much space to turn around let alone gather for a meal. Yet, here they were bowls of soup in hand enjoying each other’s company. There…
Oh, The View is Worth It!
Sometimes life has a funny way of flipping on us. One day all seems to be going great and then it knocks us down cold. If you have lived very long you know this to be true. Life is full of ups and downs, hills and valleys. If yours is anything like mine those hills…
