This past Thanksgiving week was different for me. For the first time in thirty-plus years, I did not cook/host. A few months ago, when we discovered that not one child was coming home, my husband looked at me and said, “Let’s go to Branson!” This town holds special family memories. When the girls were young, we spent…
If you know my husband, you know we call him the Energizer Bunny. It is nothing for him to run six miles or bike 30 miles before cutting the grass in the heat. His whole day is basically one of being physical if given the option. His sister is the female version of the Energizer…
https://www.youtube.com/embed/H5nUcNAH15g Hello Everyone! All of us know women who are in need of prayer for emotional pain. We may even be that woman. I am responding to Donna Gaines’ invite to join her on a special day of prayer, February 15, 2020, with hundreds of thousands of women via Live-stream to pray in one united heart, and…
Question: How can you tell it is fall? Answer: Pumpkins! I’m not necessarily referring to pumpkins in the garden. No, it’s about much more than that. It’s pumpkins on every store shelf in every form you can think of—some you’d prefer not ever imagine. Pumpkins cascade across every front porch and are arranged on tables and displayed…
No, I will not abandon you as orphans – I will come to you. John 14:18 I was sitting in a crowded sanctuary surrounded by people and had this thought, “I could never come here again…I could disappear…die…or just never come, and no one would even know I was missing.” You might have had a…
I have just returned from nineteen days on the road. We have hosted 4 back to back Refresh Retreats and I have taught at a You Lead for Life Way. It has been a blessing! God has met with us at each retreat and has refreshed and renewed each woman who attended. I connected with…
Don’t you just love the outdoors! I have, and always will be a country girl at heart. It was nothing for me to be trail riding on horseback at age 3, hunting with my very own rifle at age 8, and tending cattle throughout my childhood. I spent many a Thanksgiving on a dusty, west…
I wish to squelch the rumor circulating the St. Louis area that if my husband wants to hide something from me, he puts it in the oven. Untrue–but only because my husband would never hide anything from me. Maybe I mentioned before that a friend once told me I should stop the pretense and get…
It’s Ministry! Don’t take this so personal, she said. “This doesn’t have anything to do with our friendship. It’s just that our family doesn’t feel that we are getting everything that we need from the church(the same church where my husband was the Senior Pastor) and we believe that God is calling us to “so and…
Suffering for Our Good This month marks four years of my husband serving our church as senior pastor. Four years since I stepped into my mother’s shoes as a pastor’s wife. Four years of getting to know a new group of believers, filling in the gaps of service, cooking for church dinners and funeral meals,…
