The Final Member

I would say that the day began like any other day, but well, that just wouldn’t be true. The day started very early, like 5:00 AM early and that is most certainly not like any other day. I only get up that early for sick kids and to catch a flight, but never would I [...]

Humanity

I raise people.

I feed them.

Play with them.

Admire them.

Adore them.

They bring me challenges. They offer me laughter. They teach me things about God that I wonder if I would have ever learned otherwise. They cause me [...]

Week 39

Here it is.

The end, well, pert near the end, of my fourth pregnancy. Mercy, you’d think that little guy knew exactly where my bladder is because, well, do I really need to say it?

All I’m saying is that this 36 year old is excited to meet this little one and excited to be done totin’ [...]

All Good Things Must Come to an End….sort of…

Well, last night was the end of two five weeks studies with my Bible study ladies. I can’t believe that ten weeks has already come and gone. I’ve had weeks of preparing, writing, teaching, and even squeezing in some speaking engagements. There was, for the last ten weeks, something always on the docket. You know, [...]

I Don’t get some parents…if this is you…sorry

I was at my parent’s house last night for dinner. My kids came in with a friend and we said she was more than welcome to stay. I told her, “Hey, just get what you like and if you don’t like it you don’t have to eat it.” No big deal.

Somehow, it came up again. [...]

The Bed

I do love a good bed. I mean, put me in the Hampton Inn and Suites any day and I’ll be a happy mama! But, what is it about our own bed? I think it’s more than just the bed. I’ve slept in better beds than mine, but I always love the feel of my [...]

The Front Porch

Just from the title of this post you already have a picture in mind of a front porch, right? Sure you do! They call to us on a warm spring day. We are drawn to front porches that cool us off when it’s an Oklahoma 103 degrees.

It’s the same with my front porch.

We [...]

The Sink

I’m not sure how many times I’ve stood at my kitchen sink washing dishes and watching the girls jump on the trampoline. Who knows how many times I’ve heard, “Mom, look!” as I’m scrubbing a pan or rinsing a cup.

I’ve stood at that sink and wondered if what I was feeding my children was [...]

The Floor

The floor is not my favorite place to sit at 6 months pregnant, but let’s focus on the good times…not huge times.

The floor is another place where life happens in my house. After the kitchen counter, the floor has been a place for many relationship building moments. Sure, when you’re down there you can [...]
