I refuse to pay full price! Blame my momma. From way back in my single digits, on up-early Saturday mornings, wearing sweats and sporting a pony tail, mom indoctrinated me in the fine art of garage sale shopping. From her I first learned the thrill of the hunt. The ability to scope, scan and score are among […]
Give Him the Glory
When daily “Quiet Time” is about me, I will struggle and fail repeatedly. Finding the rhythm of walking in step with Him never fully materializes when I use God as an means to an end: getting what I want. When life becomes about God Himself, about knowing Him, seeking Him, hearing Him, seeing His glory and […]
Seeking God in Alaska
Kenai Christian Church holds their annual retreat at the SOLID ROCK Bible Camp in Soldotna, Alaska! How cool is that? This entire year I’m focused on getting to know God as my rock. “Be Thou to me a Rock of habitation to which I may continually come (Psalm 71:3).” The retreat center sits nestled among towering […]
How BIG is your God?

Your adversary, the devil, prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour.” Did you catch it? The devil is like a roaring lion, […]
Raining Cats, Dogs . . . and Squirrels?
One of the greatest benefits of home schooling is the expanded classroom. Truly, all the world’s a stage for learning. So, two weeks ago, before the coldfront settled into town, Ivy, Ellie and myself were taking advantage of a perfect day by studying math atop Grandma Sauder’s quilt spread out on the driveway. Patches, the mighty hunter, prowled the […]
Knee Mail
“Be Thou to me a rock of habitation to which I may continually come . . .” Psalm 71:3 “My hope is built on nothing less than Jesus’ blood and righteousness; I dare not trust the sweetest frame, but wholly lean on Jesus’ name. On Christ the solid rock I stand; all other ground is […]
