Wait a minute. Wait a minute. Can we just pause for a moment and talk about how my son just went to his FRESHMAN HOMECOMING? My firstborn son... the one who named me "mommy" when I was barely 20 years old - not old enough to legally purchase alcohol, but legally allowed to bring home a little… Continue reading Freshman HOMECOMING.
One of the most liberating concepts I've ever learned has been the idea of the "new normal."
My therapist said I should write about what it's like to have five kids. That sounds like the opening line of a stand-up act, but it's true. In my spare time, I need to write about the complex nuances of five kids plus a husband plus a bit of crazy (I mean, "a healing journey") thrown… Continue reading Five Kids and Brain Bubbles
Yesterday, I sat down with my blog again for the first time in over a year. My creative energies come and go, so while I was working to finish my undergraduate degree and cooking/birthing baby number 5, I didn't find much mental margin for putting words on screen. Now I find myself in a quieter season… Continue reading The True Weight of “Christian” Authorship
I've always liked this song, but the more I listen to it, the more it sinks in. The behind-the-song video just sealed the deal. 😉 Here is the song if you haven't heard it!
This post isn't coming out the way I want it to. My words won't work. My eyes ache from the tears. No one near to me has died (thank God), but I'm grieving just the same. Some people who mean a lot to me are no longer going to be in my life the same… Continue reading Better to Have Loved and Lost?

I shift writing to an obligation in my mind to protect my heart from the fear of the rejection of something I love. Silly me. "Don't use [art] to say 'Here I… Continue reading Write On
It was a gorgeous day for the Offutt Air Show! Our great friends Seth and Lindsey came into town to visit us and attend the show, so it was the perfect excuse to make time to go! I'm so glad we did. The kids got to play with an Air Force simulator, climb around in… Continue reading Offutt Air Show
Last night, I had the opportunity to participate in a ministry development think-tank, of sorts. It was amazing. Some of the members of the team have been reading a book called Good to Great by Jim Collins. The book summarizes the findings of a team that set out to discover the differences between those companies that made the… Continue reading Swallow the Magic Bullet
My husband called me a nerd 😉 but this type of thing is so fun and interesting to me. Yes, please.
