Washing Away Ungratefulness
For the last week, Shaun Groves has been in Kenya with other various bloggers documenting and sharing how Compassion International is serving and rescuing the people of Kenya. When I say people I mean more than just the children that are sponsored through Compassion. The sponsorship of these children changes their entire family’s lives.

Seriously Messed Up!!!
In a good way.
If you don’t want to be messed up. Don’t want to be convicted or have tears streaming down your face, do not click the link below.
If you want to see lives that have been changed. If you want to see hope in the eyes of beautiful people. If you want to be [...]
Being Uncomfortable
What is it that causes a 19 year old girl to pack up everything and move to South Africa? Or a young woman to move to Uganda to be a Kindergarten teacher, only to have God move her to start an orphan child sponsorship program? Or a man who when visiting South Korea was heart [...]
A Wee Bit of Ahhhh
Shawn and I had a wonderful time in Prescott over the weekend. It was full of lots of time to rest, relax, read, and just be with each other.
Saturday evening I got to see a friend I hadn’t seen in six years. In that time she has had four beautiful children. Lately we’ve kept in [...]
When Pollen Attacks
One of the first thoughts I had of the day was, “Thank God I bought Kleenex yesterday.” It was actually Target’s Up & Up brand facial tissue, but it serves the same purpose at a fraction of the cost.
Every year this time of year I suffer from insatiable allergies. The kind that knock me on [...]
A Beautiful Inheritance
I’ve been off Facebook and Twitter now for five days. It has already been refreshing. God is speaking and working in my life. I’m hearing Him more clearly.
Since I still have that itch to hit the escape button of the hohum, mundane, and stress of work I’ve begun opening up YouVersion and reading a Psalm [...]
Psalm 16:5 & 6
I’ll post more on this a bit later but I wanted to share this gem with you. It’s something I’ve been meditating on and relishing in…
The Lord is my chosen portion and my cup; you hold my lot. The lines have fallen for me in pleasant places; indeed, I have a beautiful inheritance.

Preoccupied Sheep
Imagine if you will a field full of green grass and clover. The sun is shining. Birds are singing. In the midst of this beautiful scene is a sheep nibbling on some tasty noms. Said sheep dreamily looks up and notices the sun is now setting and she is all by herself. Somewhere between bites [...]
Pulling the Plug – Part 2
Earlier today I started a two part series called Pulling the Plug.
Since that first Sunday I’ve decided to leave Sundays social media free. I don’t need it clogging my day. It’s been sort of refreshing.
I mentioned yesterday that social media can control your life. It can haunt you. If you aren’t online people begin to [...]
Pulling the Plug – Part 1
A about a month and a half ago on a Sunday, kind of by accident, I decided not to log in to Twitter of Facebook. I didn’t check either all day. I discovered something…..
The world didn’t cease to exist!!!!
The earth kept on spinning. People were born and died. The sun and moon rose and each [...]
