The Problem With PerfectWhat Does It Look Like to Love The Least of These: A Personal Story of Heartache & Redemption (Part 2)“In order to love who you are, you cannot hate the experiences that shaped you.” Andrea DykstraOur guest is a man of faith, a proud Marine, a loving husband, and a devoted father, son, brother, and friend.

Everyday JoysMaking Time for AdventI was asked to speak at a woman's Christmas dinner. It was my first time EVER speaking in front of a crowd and I stumbled through it. While I was asked to speak for 45 minutes, I feel that this message really should have been three separate messages.
1 Making Time for Advent
2 Asking God to Close Doors
3 What we Fill Our Lives With
I also think I have the beginnings of praying scripture over yourself as well as some separate stories about football, dogs and carrying too much in our purses.

Everyday JoysS1 E11 Life With Four Boys...Coffee Please - Mother's Day EditionWe met with some new friends this past weekend and were talking about our families. “Wait, four boys? You have FOUR boys?” one asked.
Yes.
And look, still surviving it all.
As it is the week of Mother’s Day, I thought I would attempt to share with you a brief look at what it has been like raising four boys.
It was harder to sum it up than I expected it to be. There is so much to say, how do I fit it all in one column?

If you ask my youngest son, he has some ideas for our front porch. He tells me how we need to build out the porch, wrap it around the house to include our large front window, extend it over to the “porch room”, and make sure we lay it with the deck boards that will neve...

I washed my hands at the kitchen sink and reached for the ever near kitchen towel. A bird was at the feeder that I was watching and so I was not watching what my hands were doing. I wouldn’t have even paid any attention to the towel had my hand not gone through it.
You read that correctly.
My hand went through it.
My beloved kitchen towel had a h...

My Adventures With a Ford
I couldn’t make the blaring music stop, but I handled it very well. I screamed, shut off the engine. It still wouldn’t stop, so I opened the door and stuck my head out - still buckled - and tried not to cheer when the music thankfully stopped. I pulled myself back into the vehicle, trying to avoid eye contact with all of the other parents in the pick up spot at school.
Maybe I should start at the beginning.....
