Jewelry Box, November
Nov 01, 2012There have been many times in my almost four years of working for Going Beyond, sitting under Priscilla’s teachings that God has used the messages to speak to me, but this month’s Jewelry Box might be one of my favorite writings of hers of all time. For whatever reason, I think this is such a […]
Read MoreA Superstorm. A Super God.
Oct 30, 2012America has been front and center on the world news as Sandy has slammed into the east coast this week.I’ve been in New Zealand watching wide-eyed as 60 million of my fellow countrymen have buckled under the pressure of high winds, torrid rains and brutal tides sweeping in from the ocean. It has been unbelievably humbling to watch nature wreak havoc on some of our nation’s most populated and […]
Read MoreEternal Perspective
Oct 28, 2012Last week was a trying seven days for me. There were a few circumstances that peeked their heads at me that were totally unexpected and I was left with the decision of how I was going to act and respond to my feelings and emotions as a result of them. You know all too well […]

Oct 25, 2012I’ve never watched Survivor. Although it’s one of the longest running reality shows on the air, I’ve never tuned in before. To be clear, I have been intrigued.

Oct 23, 2012I’m the girl that doesn’t want special allowances made or to inconvenience ANYONE. But it has become painfully obvious that I am gluten intolerant. Our whole team laughed about this a few weeks ago while at the State Fair (BTW: RIP Big Tex, we shall miss you!). The GB crew went as a welcome break […]
Read MoreCriticism and Complaint
Oct 21, 2012My sons have a hard time celebrating each other. Often, when one has been successful in the classroom or on the court, the other might wince a bit as any affirmation or compliments he might give somehow get stuck behind his teeth on the tip of his toungue. Instead of congratulating and celebrating, they find […]
Read MoreMcDonald’s and Birthing Pains!
Oct 18, 2012The best things in life come to those who wait. Or so they say. As a kid, I hated (and still do!) waiting for anything. It was twelve days before Christmas. My little sister Mary was celebrating her fifth birthday, I was ten. Somehow Mom and Dad must have had a little extra cash […]
