Today I am going to broach my most controversial blog topic yet.. Christian women, what if we let our husbands be the head of the home? I just made a weird sound in my throat. Because this one is hard for me. Try doing your own thing for thirty-nine years, marrying someone who wasn’t even…

Start Here
I love the part in the Bible where the disciples just went about their normal lives and tried to be “nice”. They never offended anyone, and they got lots of “likes” on their encouraging and inclusive Facebook posts. Man, they were likeable guys. That’s not how it really went down, though, is it? That story…
What a Character!
In twelve years she will be an adult. The same girl who told me last night she didn’t feed the cat because her ears weren’t working when I asked her. It’s crazy to think about. On one hand, it feels like we have so much time left with her. She’s still finishing out her kindergarten…
Going, Going, …
Do you ever wonder how you’re going to die? I don’t. Not really. I assume it won’t be in an accident or a dramatic illness, but that’s only because I don’t have a diagnosis and I can’t see the tractor trailer from my leather recliner. It’s going to happen, though. We do what we can,…
I can’t lie..

What about your friends?
“You should just sleep with him, then.” This is a direct quote from one of my well-meaning friends. I was explaining my struggle of still being attracted to my ex but knowing that he wasn’t right for me. Um…no. Having a no- strings-attached physical relationship buddy (haha) might sound reasonable to a lot of people,…
Tempted in Toronto
Bad Decisions. This could have been the name of the Lifetime Movie about my teens and early twenties. I was not a wise girl. Ten years later, the bad choices are fewer and farther between and I am grateful. However, they still happen, and now that I have wisdom, experience, and Jesus, they feel a…
Why I Write Words
Each morning as I sit down to write, one thought circles around in my head. What do I have to offer? Obviously, as a seasoned waitress, I could show you how to balance three huge plates on your arm and teach you the difference between Chicken Costoletta ( 3 pieces, asparagus) and Chicken Di Pana…
