Holiday Reading List
Nov 28, 2010I love the Holidays because I get to READ! I don’t get to read as much as I would like to during the normal rhythms of life, but I love when I take breaks because I get to read all the books that have been sitting on my shelf waiting to be opened! For my […]
Read MoreNot as Usual Turkey Day
Nov 23, 2010Today I leave for the trip to Memphis to be with my whole immediate family for the Thanksgiving Holiday. This makes me excited for so many different reasons, the main one being that we are all only together about twice a year because we are scattered all throughout the United States. I’ve been thinking a […]
Read MoreWithout Which No Thanksgiving Dinner is Complete
Nov 22, 2010The “reply all” emails have been making the rounds in our family. Thanksgiving dinner is ON at my brother’s house and the sign-up list has been sent back and forth several times, nearing completion. I put my name down for pumpkin pies and salad, and then added a plea to my sister (who had not […]
Read MoreAnd…We Have Some Winners!
Nov 21, 2010Hey you guys! I’ve just landed back in Dallas after a romantic weekend with my man in NYC. We had a great time. After an interview on the BET network on Thursday evening, we had three days to just relax, eat, shop and enjoy each other’s company. (Did I mention “EAT??”) I had chocolate every […]
Read MoreTummy Butterflies and New Beginnings
Nov 18, 2010I asked my son if he felt a little nervous. We were on our way to the high school for his first orientation and were just about to turn onto the campus. He shot me a smile and a sideways glance and said “yep.” He pressed his hand to his stomach as if to […]

They are the creative minds behind wonderfully successful films like Fire Proof and Facing the Giants. Along with their pastor, Micheal Catt, and their great church family in Albany, Ga., they have become quite a hub for producing […]

Read MoreMeet Avis LaFrance, Stylist
The Talented Avis A couple weeks ago, we introduced you to Avis LaFrance….and I’m tempted to add “stylist to the stars!” but she is a stylist for the “everyday person” as well. She is the lady responsible for helping Priscilla look so great, and we are delighted to get to spend some time with her […]
Read MoreHousewives of God
Nov 14, 2010Well, my friend, a couple weeks ago I mentioned to you that the NY Times was going to be running an article on our ministry in their magazine. We were a little taken aback when we got the phone call requesting an interview. Any interest by secular media sources always sends a wee shiver down […]
Read MorePhilip Yancy, on Knowing God’s Voice
Nov 10, 2010I read this quote from Priscilla’s Discerning the Voice of God the other day, and it reminded me to simply step outside and get quiet. “I know the Lord is speaking to me when I stop listening to sounds from the world that feed my sense of pride and ambition.
