Our church has adopted a local park as a place to show the love of Jesus by giving away free stuff, serving food, praying with people and sharing the Gospel. We call it "Community Cares" and we plan for months in advance and ask God to show us how to reach the people of our community with his love. Saturday we hosted an egg hunt, gave out donuts/muffins and shared the Gospel ... Read More »

Using the week of Easter as a platform to share the Gospel
Oh man, I can't believe I did a vlog. Please don't make fun of me. I didn't want to do it but I can't explain how compelled I was to share this message with you. Maybe you'll take the 5 minutes you don't have to listen to a creative way you can share with others this week the amazing Good News that is truly life changing. https://vimeo.com/123334519 ...

Choosing to un-believe the lie that it’s “too late”
Today I was reminded of God's sweet grace in my life. I had blown it big time in one of my relationships. Oh alright, I'll tell you. I mentor a little girl at a school in our community. We've been "lunch buddies" since last year and I see her once a week. Well, about mid November when sickness hit our family over and over again I found myself every Thursday either at a ...

I’m that ‘well she tries’ girl in the kitchen
It was a long-time-waiting warm Spring day outside yesterday. And those kinds of days make me do crazy things all in the name of warm weather. I dreamed up this visual in my head of our family rocking on the rocking chairs of our Southern front porch eating warm pound cake with strawberries and watching traffic drive by. As if any of us have time for that but it sure sounded ... Read More »
Dad’s, date your daughters before others do.
Dads, you will never know how much special time with your daughter means to her. All little girls desire to be cherished and loved by her earthly Daddy. And nothing says "I love you" more than special time set up for just you and her. A Daddy-daughter date. A Father reaches a daughter's heart in a unique way that a Mother can't and so that special time together is so ... Read More »
A new kind of Spring blooms you will just love!
This is my idea of the perfect set of blooms because you don't have to remember to water them and they stay yellow year round. Heck you can even snag a cup of water on a rainy day without having to go back inside. For real, how red neck can you get? Our son put these out for some air soft target shooting this week. I thought it was pretty clever. And tacky. They will probably ... Read More »
When you don’t feel all Proverbs 31’ish
For these reasons and more I have never written my name in the margin of Proverbs 31: 1) I caught Sunday lunch on fire this past Sunday. My husband blew it out. 2) I added these to a pork roast recipe because I thought they were the same thing as dried onions. But they're not. Fried and Dried are not the same thing. 3) My husband has worn underwear socks inside out ... Read More »
Taking the Resurrection Eggs to our community
I wanted to share what our church is doing this month in preparation for an upcoming outreach event on March 28th in our community. We have sort of adopted a local park for the sole purpose of encouraging and loving people. The first few events we did we simply gave stuff away. Hundreds of coats & shoes, diapers & wipes. You didn't have do anything to receive the stuff ... Read More »
