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,…
Shepherding our flocks can bring great blessing, and we understand defending them against wolves is part of our job description. Unfortunately, we tend to be woefully unprepared when the sheep of our fold turn and bite! Have you ever felt when you entered the ministry someone painted a bulls-eye on your back? It seems the…
How about we all just do this thing together. Let’s simultaneously go to the pantry for something to snack on and stare at a box of instant potatoes for about three minutes. It’s true, decisions can be tough. We make a lot of difficult choices every day. That’s why I try not to judge people,…
I have a confession to make. I’ve lied to many of you, my friends and family. I didn’t mean to; I didn’t even realize I was doing it. It was several weeks, even months after it happened that I discovered I had done it. Looking back, I see now that it was pride that got…
One morning, at the entrance of our subdivision, I met a tree company. The workers were actively taking down one of my neighbors trees. This tree was huge! At least two stories tall, maybe more. Stretching tall to the sky with branches full of leaves, it provided ample shade for my neighbors back yard. There…
I remember vividly the day my husband came to me and shared that God was calling him to be a Pastor. I looked at him frozen like a deer staring into headlights. I asked him to repeat what he just said because I thought I heard him say, “God was calling him to be a…
This week’s discovery: If you hear sirens and evacuation recordings blaring nonstop in the hallway of your hotel at 6:00 a.m., and if those recordings are telling you not to use the elevator (“I repeat, do NOT use the elevator”), the thing that will make it all the more exciting is remembering that you’re on…
