Dear Son, Thoughts of you fill my mind tonight. It’s your first night not living at home. And although you’ve been away from home many times, you’ve never not lived here, in this house, under this roof, with your dad and me and your siblings. Yes, tonight is different. You packed up most of your... Continue Reading →
Good morning, God. It’s me. I’m up a little earlier than usual this morning. I’ve made my coffee. I’m seated in my office, at my small black desk, to meet with You.

Like most moms, those memories tend to stand... Continue Reading →
So you had a bad momma day. Maybe you yelled at the kids. Or left one at church, thinking he rode with daddy. Perhaps you neglected to sign the permission slip, causing your kid to miss out on the class field trip. Or there’s that funny story you told about your teenage son, only to... Continue Reading →
As our oldest son prepares for his high school graduation and what lies beyond it, I can’t help but ponder the blessings we’ve experienced because of him. We are so thankful God made us his parents and, although we haven’t done everything exactly as we should, we have loved him with all our hearts -... Continue Reading →
Dear Child of Mine: I know you dislike me saying no to your ideas for fun and adventure. You see my “no” as an unwelcome interruption to your plans. Especially when everyone else is going there, and doing that, and wearing such things as they do. Yes, I am keenly aware that when... Continue Reading →
