For years, every time I woke up in the middle of the night and couldn’t fall back to sleep because of waves of raging thoughts, I would recite the Lord’s Prayer and think through verse by verse. It is a powerful way to center my mind back to the peace of the Spirit....
With all my children in school, and now that we finished the moving process, I finally have some time to go back to my passion — oil painting. I have several old paintings that I did years ago. When I look at them now, I felt something was lacking... how could I make...
I’ve heard enough about how Christians should stay out of politics because we represent Jesus, and shouldn’t alienate other people. Or worse yet, “God doesn’t care about your politics.” God cares about what we think, what our attitudes are, and what we do in life, so...
This has been going on for a while now; every day I read the news, these words come out of my mouth: I never thought— I never thought the most disgusting song I’ve heard won the best song of the year, yet Dr. Seuss, Mr Potato Head, and Miss Piggy are canceled. I never...
My favorite time of the day is taking a stroll in my “park” with my family after dinner. Seeing my children laughing and running wild in the open is priceless. It reminds me of the main reason we moved -boys need a space to run, grow, and be wild. Having close contact...

We recently moved to a new place. When my friends asked me how the move was going, I kept saying: I wish I hadn’t accumulated so much stuff! I have beauty samples that I never got to try on; plastic cups and bowls I wouldn’t use in a million years. Not to mention all...
