Family…part 1
"Blood is thicker than water, " is the old saying that tells us that blood relationships are the most important. I grew up in a tight knit family of four, and we never had friends over on Thanksgiving or Christmas. It was never a thought to even consider. I always...
Numbers…ugh
When you live with an inhibitor you often wonder what life would be like if you "only had hemophilia." In our case, Caeleb, who is 11, has lived for 10 years with an inhibitor. Shouldn't it be gone by now?Our oldest son, Julian, who is twenty, also had an...
Transported
Last night I had some writing to complete. I am speaking at an event in Missouri this week and my talk was all over the place! I had so many ideas and they just were not organized the way I had wanted them to be. I needed to have some quiet…some solitude to try to...
The unknown curve
Faith has gotten me through some of the worst times in my life. That is for sure. I have often considered myself a woman whose faith was a key part of her life. I just wish I could say that my faith was strong all of the time…that it never wavered…that I lived...
God can always hear you
Today in worship, we celebrated communion (I like that our second service celebrates communion weekly). After receiving the elements, I went to the altar to pray…and I had no words. I wanted to talk to God after that special moment of communion, but my heart and...

Two weeks in…
It's January 15th…two weeks into 2017. I wonder how many people have already fallen off the wagon and blow their resolutions to pieces? My One Word, "change," is staring me in the face (literally, it's over my desk) and I feel like I have not given it justice. The...
On this day in 1927…
On this day in 1927, a baby boy was born. He wasn't just any baby. He turned into a smart, passionate, driven young man with a bright future for the taking. He was in the school band, was an athlete, was a loyal son and he fought hard to get his education. He lost...
Here I Go Again
Resolutions. One Word. The New Year. It can bring about the best and worst in us all within the first week! I have lived each year for the past several years with a word as my focus, and I already feel like I am not getting anywhere. My word for 2017 is...
Smells and Sounds – Guest posting at HFA
The senses of sound and smell are very powerful. Sometimes a smell can spark a memory of a wonderful meal simmering on a stove or the smell of the air from a perfect breeze on a spring day can transport us back. The sounds of elevators dinging as people anxiously...
