When he pulled that pepper shaker out of the bag I almost laughed out loud. Fourteen years earlier we stood on separate aisles of Target – me with crossed arms and him wondering if we would ever make it. With scanner gun in hand, I stared at the rows of salt and pepper shakers. Wooden?…

Holy Lightning
Love is patient, love is kind. 1 Corinthians 13:4 “Lord, please strike him with a holy bolt of lightning,” I prayed. “No real damage. Just enough to scorch him a little.” Okay, so I don’t normally pray for my husband’s ruin, but let me explain what happened. It was a Friday night when Grace was…
