For years I had the same dream several times a week. I lived in a nice house where life was full and happy. There was only one problem . . . there was always a pet, usually a dog, living in the basement. That in itself was not a problem, I love critters, the problem…

Are You Starting the New Year with a Purpose
I’ve been thinking about time alot this week. Starting a new calendar is a big deal. I love having a clean planner, dates stretch out fresh with possibilities.

Who’s With Me – I’m Going to Jingle

Shine and Sparkle
Arise, shine, for your light has come, and the glory of the Lord rises upon you. Isaiah 60:1 I used to awaken our children by entering their rooms waving my hands in the air and singing, “Rise and shine and give God the glory. Glory. Children of the Lord.” I can still hear their groans…
What I Learned from Arminda
I met Arminda on my trip to Bolivia with the World Vision Blogger Team. Arminda has a mother, father, and four older brothers. She didn’t have the typical arrival to her family.
