Jun 30, 2013Oh my goodness, I’m full!! I woke up this way. Uncomfortable really. The fact is, I’ve just had a fantastic week. Spent it on the seven seas – a cruise to Alaska with my entire family. My parents, siblings and our spouses had the chance to minister to the nearly 300 people that joined us […]

Jun 27, 2013In singleville, the summer is the time to shine! Quite literally (unfortunately) at times, as the temps soar past 100 degrees. And at other times, figuratively, as there is always a lake day around the corner or a crew going to dinner, or your teacher friends begging you to take a real lunch hour with […]

Jun 25, 2013Ok. So there has been a theme to all my blog posts lately…Scripture. I’ve been buried under, meditating on, soaking in, breathing deep, memorizing crazy, Scripture. And it has been non-stop. I’m not so sure what started this fiendish thirst, but I’m not […]
Read MoreCommunity in Love
Jun 23, 2013Community is hard. It’s messy. It’s beautiful. AND it’s dangerous. “Dangerous?” you say. Yes, DANGEROUS. Because when I am in community, everyone can see all of my junk. And eventually, my junk gets in the way of someone else knowing God. It’s hard to have a bout with pride when someone needs you to love […]

Jun 20, 2013So…my Community Group is doing Scripture memory this summer. Like, BIG time. Like a verse-a-day memory. I NEED HELP. The last time I set out to memorize passages of Scripture was probably when I was a 12 year old homeschooled kid. My sisters and I memorized 3 chapters of Matthew (think the Beatitudes) and […]
Read MorePodcast Maybe?
Jun 16, 2013So I’m on a podcast kick. Usually I sit at my desk with my headphones in and listen to my fav music-of-the-moment. But earlier this week, my pastor talked on Galatians 5 and that verse “feeding the flesh” really stuck in my spirit. I want to feed the Spirit of God that lives in me. […]

Jun 13, 2013I’m seeing circles. . .and I’m loving it! Right now, many thousands of you are banded together in a mass Bible study group on Gideon. I am so honored and excited to be able to serve you in the Scriptures whether you are doing the study alone or with a handful of others in your […]

Jun 11, 2013Shamelessly took out my iPhone during dinner to take notes the other night.I couldn’t help it. The conversation Jerry and I were having with our new friends Jentzen and Cherise Franklin shimmered with wisdom and insight. These two seasoned parents and partners in life and ministry took time to share a meal and enriching conversation. […]

Jun 09, 2013Ok y’all. Priscilla’s inspired me. I’m getting organized! Much like y’all, I’ve got a crazy schedule. What with working full-time, leading worship for various events at church, leading a small group, serving for other events, having a lively group of social single friends, a close-knit family and a Grandmother nearby to visit once a week, […]

Jun 05, 2013So, here’s the deal. I think kids should be active – busy, playing, being creative, outdoors, romping around, exerting energy. I just do. Particularly in the summer months when there are so many hours to utilize before bedtime and it can be so tempting to spend most of them on the sofa. Somehow, the electromagnetic […]
