Order My Steps
The average American eats out between four and five times a week. That places the Stranges in the minority as we average one meal per week, which has traditionally been Friday nights at an establishment with a dependably short wait for a crowd (ten Stranges). For us, that place is Cracker Barrel. We know it […]

A Prayer When Your Heart Hurts
A friend called me last week while traveling to an event. I had not heard from her in a while, but she didn’t call me just to catch up. From the first few minutes of our conversation, there was heaviness in her voice. Her heart was hurting. This is a mom like you and me, […]

Praying for Understanding
Praying for Understanding What do you and I do when we come to a spiritual dilemma—when we don’t know what to do or which way to go? If you ask the teenagers in my house, they will suggest we Google it. And that might help enrich our knowledge or provide options. But when we find […]

A Prayer for Contentment
A Prayer for Contentment This past week I read the Biblical account of Jacob returning to Canaan with all the drama that ensured. Jacob is not my favorite patriarch.

A Prayer to Experience God’s Love
A Prayer to Experience God’s Love My two grown and flown daughters spent part of their weekend together at a theme park. Their mission: to ride lots of rollercoasters. The reflections in their selfies testified to their success. Those grown-up smiles reminded me of former days when I took those same girls to that exact […]

5 Strategies for Practicing Biblical Hospitality
5 Strategies for Practicing Biblical Hospitality Sometimes lessons that need to be learned must be experienced before they take root. When Chad and I were newlyweds, we relocated to a different city for work purposes. In no time we found our place in a local church that offered a weekly class with other newly married […]

Praying for the Wounded
Praying for the Wounded The holidays can usher in emotions beyond the festive joy and excitement familiar to most. Seasons draped in Christmas cheer are not always shared when life has brought pain or loss. Maybe, like me, you have friends and family members who are missing someone for the first time due to tragedy, […]

Taking Your Prayers Digital
Taking your prayers digital If you are like the majority of Christian women, you pray at least once a day. And that’s a good thing.
