it's been raining for three days straight, but despite the fact that we are locked inside the house, i've been overwhelmingly aware of how the Lord is renewing and refreshing the earth during this wet spell. perhaps, it is just much more noticeable when you are surrounded by forest, but i've never really appreciated the vibrant … [Read more...]

so i read this post the week before Easter and could NOT shake its effect on me (hello, Holy Spirit---i hear you loud and clear.) "Church, let’s bring Jesus’ hope into the darkness this Easter – the lonely street corners, the strip clubs, the shelters, the prisons, the sad places.

i feel like a broken record around here, but i'm not going to say anything about my desire for the S-P-R-I-N-.... word. ....to get here. now. ....for snow to go away. forever. ....or for my daffodils to have a fighting chance at opening and looking glorious on my tabletop. nope, not going to say it. and dang it if … [Read more...]

She crawled in my lap, tears in her eyes. sobbing because she only had a large hunk of Hershey's chocolate bar and not an extra large hunk. "i want more, momma." (tears, tears and more tears) "You already have a lot and haven't even started eating it." "then, i don't want annnnyyy!" (continue to … [Read more...]

it's something i asked myself over and over while at the Influence Conference. can I blog for Jesus and for my business? AND do them both well? can the two coexist without me getting too concerned with stats and revenue and SELF.. and "growing the blog....?" ugh, that term puts a bad taste in my mouth, and yet excites me at the … [Read more...]
