Heaven is for Real for Kids Book Review

When I saw Heaven is for Real for Kids as a possibility on my book review list, I had to get it!  Lately, Miss Mack has been asking a lot of questions about heaven and our loved ones who are there and I found myself lacking answers that didn’t sound made up to me. Tonight, [...]

Just a Click to Make a Difference

When I first started going to the Methodist Church, we had a pastor who was good at her job, but there were times when I felt like I wasn’t doing enough if I couldn’t give money to the causes she told us about each Sunday morning. UMCOR is a wonderful organization and they do a [...]

My Rant on Kirk Cameron's "Sad" Birthday Photo

Have you seen the story on Yahoo! explaining Kirk Cameron’s sad birthday photo? Apparently, we have gotten to the point where this is news. Who’da thunk it, a celebrity who has a very modest birthday party while he’s at a ministry rather than some lavish affair involving half-naked women and alcohol flowing like water!  Not [...]

The slow fade…

Yesterday, I walked out of the gas station and heard a car with the radio blaring.  Before long, I realized that car was my car and Miss Mack had turned up the radio. When I got in the car, “Slow Fade” by Casting Crowns was turned to a completely offensive level and my daughter was [...]

Squishing the Negativity Like a Nasty Bug

Last night (or this morning, depending on semantics), I was finding new blogs to read and follow when I came across this post from The Last Degree.  Two things popped into my mind as soon as I started reading.  First, I have filled my life with dwelling on what I don’t have, what I can’t [...]

I am alive!!!!

And no, I don’t mean in the sense of “I didn’t post for a day” type of alive.  A group from our church just got home from the most inspiring (okay, so my first) leadership summit.  Only in Wisconsin would you find a leadership summit about church growth with a cow tipping theme!!! Over the [...]

You Don't Get to Decide!

It’s funny how God works.  Just over a week ago, I let myself get completely down about the prospect of attending She Speaks this year.  I had realized that the scholarships were all doing to other women and that was my only hope of attending.  I was blessed to have a friend who reminded me [...]
