My daughter was recently in a local play. She was a junior orphan in the Broadway production Annie. Flowers and cards were pouring in from those who love her most. What was truly amazing was a little girl’s gift in her elementary school. My little actress brought home from school today a note and flowers–all homemade with details and love crafted…
Philosophìa Krateìto Photôn
Phi Kappa Phi’s name is from the initial letters of the Greek words forming its adopted motto: Philosophìa Krateìto Photôn, “Let the love of learning rule humanity.” I was mesmerized by a guest speaker, and honored guest, Dr. Alison Baski, Executive Associate Dean and Professor of Physics College of Humanities and Sciences. Her life story…
With a breath of kindness blow the chaff away….
God amazes and overwhelms me. His Word is filled with truth that confounds the wise. Some verses are so familiar that they have been quoted on souvenirs in the most unlikely places and shops. They sound profound, but do we truly practice them? God’s Word is not sentiment. God’s Word is to be practiced with…
A Dog Barking
He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the human heart, yet no one can fathom what God has done from beginning to end.

James 5:16 We often look for immediate deliverance or problems resolved; but, I experienced a day of wonderful results through God reminding me of His love, grace, and compassion. He spoke through people and circumstances. I…
Your story matters
Your story matters. Psalm 25:14 “Friendship with God is reserved for those who reverence him. With them alone he shares the secrets of his promises.” Dannah Gresh shared that we often fear man when we are disobedient to God’s plan for us. In that disobedience, we fear man and what they would think of us…
Little Miss…
Remember those little books Little Miss “so and so”? I had them on my mind a few weeks ago when I felt like I was “Little Miss Bossy”. We have other personality type qualifiers such as introvert versus extrovert, feeling versus thinking, etc. (Myers Briggs Type Indicator). You could imagine my surprise when I showed…
An Indispensable Weapon
Truth, righteousness, peace, faith, and salvation are more than words. Learn how to apply them. You’ll need them throughout your life. God’s Word is an indispensable weapon. In the same way, prayer is essential in this ongoing warfare. Pray hard and long. Pray for your brothers and sisters. Keep your eyes open. Keep each other’s…
Moms’ Night Out
Last night, our family watched Moms’ Night Out. When we watch movies, typically, we find ourselves identifying with a character. For me, it was the mom of three small children who seemed to be in a constant state of stress and control freakishness. She made me realize, I’m not the only one who gets uptight…
