Everybody Has a Mission
Growing up, one of my most prized possessions was my Webster’s Third New International Dictionary. One of those massive volumes you see (or used to) at the library, it was very expensive, and my grandmother bought it for me so that I could look up pronunciations for...
Just Like That
I’m sitting here in my office working on bills as if it were any other Saturday even though a seismic shift occurred in my world less than 24 hours ago. Because life does, in fact, go on. Twenty-two-and-a-half years ago, give or take, we welcomed our third...
Trusting in God; Giving up Control
Leaps of faith are a fact of life in our family. Our family life has been built on radical acts of trusting that everything would work out one way or the other. John and I had been married eleven months and had a baby on the way when we abandoned good jobs in...

Last night I told my daughter I felt like I had lived at least a month in the past week or so. Have you ever felt that way? Because of all that I and my family have been through in the last twelve days, I find myself starting at my computer screen this morning...
