A girl never outgrows her need for a daddy
As far as I can find, this is the last picture I have of my father and me. Not too long after, he died. He left a gaping hole, one I tried in vain to fill with friends, success, and being a good little girl. When I was at my most desperate at fifteen years […]

The Artsy Lent Adventure
Today I’m starting an adventure. I’m not taking away from my life this lenten season, I’m adding to it. I’ve felt the siren call to art my whole life. I gravitate toward design, dabble in photography, and have what can only be called an obsessive relationship with fonts. But I seldom allow myself to create […]

43 – We Work Hard for No Money
Today’s podcast is about work, productivity, God’s sovereignty over all, and what happens when we become entitled. Scripture: Lazy people are soon poor; hard workers get rich. Proverbs 10:4 A hard worker has plenty of food, but a person who chases fantasies has no sense. Proverbs 12:11 Work hard and become a leader; be lazy […]

All you Mamas, here’s some love (and grace)
They say a mama’s heart expands with each child, and I agree. Except that it’s very hard to determine when a heart nears failure. When can we discern when we’re loving too much, too little? How can I carry three children and their life-baggage to the pearly gates without fainting? We are told to bear […]

Win The #DayIMetJesus and read it before it’s released!
Baker Books has five ARCs they’d like YOU to have. What is an ARC? It’s an Advance Readers Copy of the book. It looks like the book, though it’s not in its exact final form. They send these copies to places like Publisher’s Weekly so we can get reviews by the time the book’s released […]

Happy Birthday, Aidan!
Nineteen years ago, the day after my own birthday, you yawled your way into the world with those big, brown eyes, clear heart, and the wide wonder of childhood. You chased your sister once you could crawl, then walk, then run. And then you reluctantly welcomed another sister when she took your place as the […]

42 – Find Your Feast (a tutorial on enemies)
Proverbs 23:5 lets us know that God prepares us a feast IN THE PRESENCE OF our enemies. What an amazing thing! In today’s podcast I talk about revenge, how it is NOT good, and how seeing the feast God has prepared makes loving your enemies and enduring ill treatment a little easier. Scriptures: Leviticus 19:18 […]

Have you been Pooped on?
So I wrote a little ebook. 40 pages to be exact. About poop. But before you look away in disgust, please hear me out. When I wrote The Wall Around Your Heart, the title I kept calling it was What to Do After People Poop on You. The publishers weren’t too keen on that title […]
