Echoes from the past
My name is the great irony of my life. Don't get me wrong - I love the dawn; it's a beautiful and magical time of day (especially if you've got a camera in your hand). It's just that I'm a night owl by nature and mornings don't come easy for me. My sixteen-year-old...
The best of friends
My 7-year-old daughter (a.k.a. Drama Queen) and her girlfriends at church often make plans to wear matching clothes on Sunday morning. She doesn't understand why my friends and I don't do the same thing. Last week it looked like we did. Black and white - often...

Please add my cousin, Lynn (Queen Shenaynay), at The Beehive to your prayer list. She was diagnosed with breast cancer Friday. In her words, "God is sovereign over every cell of my body, and for this I am grateful." Please pray for healing, strength, and courage...
Foolishness is bound in the heart of a child
My mother was a wise woman with some great sayings, one of which was, "No one person is important enough to make everyone around them miserable." Today, one of my kids thought he was that one person. We had a lovely day today, the kind that make fond family memories:...
