Creative Ways to Teach Little Ones to Have Thankful Hearts

You wouldn’t think that teaching your kids to have a thankful heart should be difficult. For some reason, however, it is.  My oldest is now ten.

The Tantalizing, Terrible Truth About TV

The first reality TV show I ever remember flipping by was Temptation Island.  The name says it all.  A group of men and women were stranded on a tropical island together, with the ultimate goal of tempting each other away from their significant others.  It was like watching a train wreck--I just couldn’t look away.  Did people really do this kind … [Read more...]

Faith. It’s important all the time, but in this Faith. It’s important all the time, but in this season of uncertainty, it feels even more important. I keep asking God to change my heart if what I want is not what he has for me, but the pull just keeps getting stronger. I am certain of what I hope for. It’s a struggle to be just as certain that He will provide it. But He is faithful even when we are not. Thank goodness!  So we will praise Him in the storm...and wait. #faith #waitingplace #godisgood #hewillprovide
