Oh my goodness! What joy to watch my beautiful Adelaide picking peaches in our backyard! This spring and summer our plants and trees have bloomed with the bounty of goodness! I’ve re-posted this recipe several times. It never fails to deliver, and even if you make mistakes like an extra cup of sugar, it is…

His Work
His light is Freedom
Compassion is the connection or covenant relationship between two equal partners. This definition of compassion was expressed in my audible book Tattoos on the Heart. This book was recommended and given as a gift by a friend at work. The work of Gregory Boyle will compel you to explore compassion, boundaries, and empathy. For twenty years, Gregory…
I Love Your Voice
The darkness is an interesting place to experience. Gazing up at the night sky, the vast darkness gives us the glorious opportunity to see the stars and the brightness of the moon. Adelaide still talks about how Ace (her grandfather), showed her the stars and named them while we were visiting a state park. Standing…
In the Still
Most of you are aware that our family is facing challenges that requires a lot of faith and trust. As we share our heartaches, you reach out. In the reaching out, a dear colleague and friend shared her inner soul work through poetry. I asked her if I could share and she said, “Yes, but…

In fact, my love language is affirmation and acts of service. If together we check off the list, I feel accomplished and relieved. An item not checked off circles…
Planned for God’s Pleasure
Waiting. Does it feel like you spend most of your time waiting? Waiting in line, for a break-through, for healing, or for a season to pass? One of the most excruciating waits in history was the Saturday between Good Friday and Resurrection Sunday. Many messages and devotionals have been written about this day. We wonder…
Puddles and Deep Waters
I can remember reading in a marriage book about puddles vs. deep waters. I was young in my marriage with little years under my belt. I was talking to the girls in Woman of Worth, Victoria’s group, and Katie and I connected. Katie is now married and in doctoral school. The image still plays out…
How do you view life?
How do you view life? I read this question in my book. The author suggested that if I viewed life as a party then my goal would be to have fun. If I viewed life as a marathon, then my goal would be endurance. Combining this question with my recent audio book on insecurity, I…
