A Womans Guide to Meeting God

I was irritable last night. Like, everything you’re doing-is bugging me, including the way you’re slurping that stupid Popsicle while mindlessly watching TV, irritable. It wasn’t pretty. I didn’t start off the day that way, though. I started off early, feeling great. I even worked out before one of my dearest friends popped over for lunch. […]
Are you a list maker or a “live by the seat of your pants” girl? I like my “to do” list. It keeps me on task. Except when it doesn’t. Like this week. Interruptions, spur of the moment events (some of them fun; some not-so-much), unforeseen traffic jams and plain old summer laziness converged to […]
I didn’t mean to eavesdrop. But I’m kind of glad I did. “Do the hard stuff so you can get to the good stuff”. I overheard my husband offer this advice to someone going through a rough patch in their marriage. Smart advice for just about everything in life, don’t you think? Summer is […]
Father’s day is around the corner but not everyone had a great father. My husband didn’t. Not because his dad was a bad person; simply because my husband’s dad died when he was only nine years old. JP was the youngest of three children. Their mom was left nearly penniless (he had no life insurance) […]

Somewhere along the way I lost perspective. For as long as I can remember I’ve equated serving God with helping “those people over there”. The orphans in Africa. The poor in our inner cities. The crowds who line up at the food bank my daughter and I volunteer for. My concept of godliness also included […]
“What’s your pet peeve?” It’s a question Matt Lauer asked in his interview with America’s 100 Most Influential People this morning on the Today Show. And you know what? They all had one—some even had two or more. And so do you. Me, too. Here’s the thing, though: if we aren’t careful, when we come […]
“Hi Donna, I’m not sure if you remember me, but you met with me a few years back. I recall you mentioning back then that I could reach out to you if I ever had any questions or needed wise counsel, and I was hoping to get your opinion on something. Although I’m flawed, the […]
What we call “Good Friday” now, seemed anything but good on the day Christ died; it seemed hopeless, ugly and dark. Steeped in defeat, it left Christ’s followers stunned, grieved, confused and hurt. How could something like this possibly be God’s plan? How could such injustice be right? Something a good God could allow? Would […]
