A Womans Guide to Meeting God
It’s so easy for me to believe God loves you. It’s hard to believe–really believe–down deep, where it counts, that God loves me. After decades of walking with God I still haven’t figured out why this truth is so difficult to wrap my brain around. All I know is that my experience isn’t uncommon. On […]
The irony didn’t escape my notice. I was right in the middle of watching one of my “Get Healthy” videos—the one on “How to Change Myself When I’d Really Rather Change My Circumstances”. I almost never watch my own messages but I’m so glad I did. So there I sat, in the dark, watching my […]
Quick Quiz: How Do You Know if Something’s Not Healthy (besides food!)? Quick Answer: You feel pain. You cause pain. Ten days ago I threw my back out. I was three quarters of the way through my favorite class at the gym when something felt slightly out of whack. The pain fingered it’s way up […]

The ice breaker question was an easy one: Name three things you’re thankful for. “Food, family and friends” the first girl declared boldly. “Food, family and friends” said the second girl, too.

Our dryer broke, my husband is in Haiti, and the guy who delivered a new piece of furniture damaged our stairs and is giving me the run around about repairs.
