I would love to be a better version of myself. I long to be self controlled, to have a handy word of advice for those who seek it, to avoid the daily pitfalls of selfishness, anger, and fear. Wouldn’t you? God commands us to hide His Word in our hearts so that we won’t sin…
A few months ago my 14 year old daughter and I went away for another special weekend. It was our Passport 2 Identity weekend. We used the program from Family Life Today. I started with praying for wisdom and insight into the issues my sweet girl faces. I picked a date and then I…

We just returned from a glorious weekend in the Florida Keys. Just my husband and I. It came on the heels of a big production of Beauty & the Beast that my children were involved in. It was sandwiched between that and their dance recital, co-op final exams and reaching that magic full term window…
