If you know me in real life or have been reading Life is a Bowl of Wedgies for a while then you know my heart for Bible Study and prayer. Both spiritual disciplines are my lifeline and have served as life changing agents for me personally for many years. I lead Bible Studies and I help others lead studies in their spheres of influence. But there's a question I'm wanting to ask ... Read More »

Lessons from the streets of downtown Atlanta
I grew up just north of Atlanta but my Dad owned a large auto salvage company in downtown Atlanta called Georgia Salvage. Sometimes I'd get to go to the company and work in a ten year old kind of way. I'd tag parts, record bills, and answer the phones.

Struggling to believe God’s goodness
Let's be real - it's hard to understand and believe God is good sometimes when we simply look around at the hard stuff going on all around us.

What Job, infertility and wedgies have in common
Job is a book that become oh-so dear to me when my husband and I walked through not fun, no good, very bad, stinky poo infertility. Yeah, those were rough days. Those days are long gone and by God's grace I see how God used that time in our lives to bring forth an amazingly good plan that he had in place all along. There are still scars we bear from those days but there are ... Read More »
My love of 25 years & giveaway winners announced
We celebrated 25 years of marriage yesterday. A look back at pictures from our wedding and a keepsake book of all our Anniversaries was a fun part of our day. It's funny how much we forget unless we take the time to look back and read. It was a lot of fun. He gave me the sweetest card ever along with chocolate and flowers. I simply love the quote from Shakespeare on the ... Read More »
#25 years!
We met on the church bus the Summer of 6th grade. My parents made me attend a youth group outing. I didn't want to be there. Had I known I would meet my future husband there I might have signed up early! Little did I know the cute pastor's kid would soon become one of my best friends. I didn't have a clue that the boy I hung out with a lot at church would soon become my ... Read More »
