(Don’t worry. This isn’t about parenthood. Or childhood. Or anything of the sort. ) I’ve just recently started watching the series “Parenthood”…as prompted by my dear sister. I’m only on Season 1, Episode 2, so don’t judge…yet. (And just so you know, I’m hooked already!) I just finished watching this specific episode (S1E2) and thereContinue reading “Parenthood…and stuff”

Gilmore Girls. So I finished episode 22 of season 7. (Not even to the new ones yet.) I. Can’t. Even. When my sister and other friends recommended this show to me, I wasn’t sure that I’d enjoy it as much as they did. They have daughters. I don’t have a daughter.  I have a sisterContinue reading “Ramsey Girl and Boy”

My sweet mother-in-love, Becky, sent me a video of Gloria Gaither (of Bill & Gloria…the couple that’s written more gospel songs than anyone on the planet.) In this video, she’s telling a friend “God is in the interruptions.” I just love what she says. And even though Becky kindly said to me, “She sounds likeContinue reading “Interruptions (by Gloria Gaither)”

I am an unapologetic, yet proud, drawer/colorer/creator/doodler. I love to draw. I love to color. I love to create. And I love to doodle. Let me share a vulnerable fact with you, my friends. I am addicted…was that strong enough? I am ADDICTED to the gathering of pens and pencils. As far back as IContinue reading “Sharpen Your Pencil”

Many of you reading this know that we started a new campaign at Rock Springs last Sunday — 40 Days of Love. It’s really going well. So many amazing responses and stories are already surfacing. Just today I heard stories of brand new and renewed friendships, repaired relationships, surprising God-moments, aha moments, hearts growing threeContinue reading “Stay Alert”

I just got back home on Monday from a 6-day trip to the Nashville, Tennessee, area. I went to be the featured speaker at a women’s retreat that’s been going on for 19 years already. To say that I was honored is a total understatement. It was a crazy-amazing weekend of refreshment, renewal, and remindingContinue reading “Waiting On My Soul To Catch Up”

I’m leaving this afternoon to fly from Durango, Colorado…to Dallas, Texas (#mytexasheart)…to Nashville, Tennessee (#mytennesseeheart). Do you get as completely crazy totes stressed before a trip as I do??? Doesn’t matter if I’m flying, driving, walking or taking a mouse-drawn carriage. In the last minutes, I get stressed — out of sorts, as it were.Continue reading “Trips/Traveling/Whatever”

Before August 12, 2013, my father-in-love’s funeral day, I had never spoken at a graveside service. In fact, if I can, I stay at the back of the crowd so I don’t have to be too intimately involved in what’s being said and done. But I offered because Brad was my second dad. And David,Continue reading “The Final Earth Goodbye”

This past weekend, I was privileged to get to go “home” to Texas to attend my youngest nephew’s wedding. Let me just say…it moved me to tears. He is only 19 years old, and his new bride only 18…for the love of matrimony!! Yet, in spite of their young ages, I know beyond the shadowContinue reading “A Cocoon Of Grace”

Hebrews 12:1b “…let us strip off every weight that slows us down, especially the sin that so easily trips us up.” I’m not a runner. Let me just say it again: I am not a runner. As my husband says, if you see me running, you better run, too, because something scary is chasing me.Continue reading “entanglements”
