A Womans Guide to Meeting God
It’s mid-August and for many of us that means a transition for our kids–and, by default, for us. Maybe you’re sending a child off to college. Maybe you’re launching a child into adulthood. Maybe your baby is going to pre-school, or middle-school, or high school. For a mom, their transition is your transition. This afternoon […]
“Hey, Gang! I could use some help!” Juggling overfilled bags of food, I open the door from the garage to our house and yell (nicely, I hope–I’ll have to ask my family later…) these words, virtually every time I arrive home after grocery shopping—assuming, of course, my hubby and/or one of the kids is home.

What keeps you from reaching your God-given potential? I’ll bet it’s the same thing that keeps me, and other women you know, from reaching theirs. A few months ago I spoke at a conference where women were given the opportunity to nail doubts, fears and concerns to a cross. I was one of the last […]
Dad called yesterday. “Mom made pea salad. Made her think of you. She’s standing in the kitchen with tears in her eyes.” And suddenly the memory came flooding back… It was early evening on a spring day. Or was it summer? I can’t recall. But Mom was up to her elbows in dirt. She’d been […]

You know them. They’re the people you try to avoid because they suck the joy out of life. My husband calls them “Life-Drainers”. There’s another type of person. You know them, too. You love being in their presence. These folks are “Life-Givers”. Which are you? Wait. Not so fast. I know you think you’re […]
The first day of summer. Ahhh. Bliss. For most of us summer means less structure. Less commitment. Less hurry. Less stress. But it can also mean less connection with God and his people. After teaching Bible study for years, I’ve learned I can pretty much count on hearing the same phrase every fall: “It’s good […]
I know it sounds crazy, but it’s a real thing. Too many of us are missing our one and only life. “What?” you say, “How can I miss my life? I’m the one living it.” But are you? Really? Last weekend was the culmination of six straight weekends speaking at conferences all over the country. […]
