I got married a little later in life. My husband, too. We were married for a couple of years before we started trying to conceive. Biologically, it probably wasn’t the smartest thing to do, wait, that is. But, we were both old enough to have seen enough marriages fall apart…
I don’t know about y’all, but I wait to get everything in my house in order an hour before I know someone is coming over. And, I do mean everything. My routine consists of pushing all my piles of stuff into one localized and unseen area like a closet or…
When I think about one of the great gifts living on this earth brings, watching a sunrise or sunset is at the tip-top. It’s grand and beautiful and powerful and faithful. A cloud may cover a portion of it but only for a while. And, even so, it is still…
Yesterday morning the pastor at Fellowship Bible Church of Dallas put on a clinic. You know what I mean? He laid it down. Spoke the truth. And, I don’t think one human left there uninspired or not in deep thought about what they need to do more of in and…
