Thank … Read More

Rainy Days by Angie Arndt
Some people don’t like the rain. But I love to put on my slicker and boots then take long walks, twirling my umbrella. Have you ever noticed how different the world is after a storm? Colors are more brilliant. The world is still. The air is pure and sweet. There are reasons for those changes … Read More

Do Deadlines Make Your Teeth Itch?
Some of you know that when deadlines hit, I hit a wall. Some folks excel under pressure. I fold. Some people like the thrill of competition. I concede. For those of you who thrive with goals and deadlines—you have my deepest respect and congratulations. For those who struggle—as I do—with meeting demands when the clock … Read More

Weekly Writing Project
According to the internet, 81% of Americans would like to write a book someday (and we all know the internet never lies). I was NEVER one of those people. I had no desire to write a book and absolutely no desire to write a novel. The Lord loves to change our plans, doesn’t He? Don’t … Read More

Do All Dogs Go To Heaven?
Has your heart ever felt so warm and full, you thought it might burst? That’s how I feel when our new dog snuggles up close for some love.

Near-Sighted, Far-Sighted, God-Sighted
I used to work with eyeballs. My first big-girl job in 1989 was with an optometrist, who taught me basic technical skills to measure a patient’s visual acuity. When my husband went to seminary, I worked for an ophthalmologist as his scribe—following him from exam to exam, writing every word of his findings for his … Read More

No More Ho-Hum, Whiny-Pants
Our church recently hired a new pastor. Now, a new pastor is an exciting venture under any circumstance, but THIS new pastor and his family are originally from New Zealand! (Yep, been there! Loved it! Big shout-out to my New Zealand buddies.) I don’t know if it’s the cool Kiwi accent or if perhaps this new pastor has … Read More

The Way to Rest
I went to a writers’ conference last April and learned something about health and fitness. Crazy, huh? The speaker used an aerobics metaphor to make her point: Measure your resting heart rate before beginning a workout and then at the height of activity. When you’re ready to cool down, measure heart rate again, and time … Read More
