Erica’s Edition: I didn’t see that coming!
Today’s post is brought to you by my college intern, Erica Graphman! Take it away, Erica! It’s been one of those “Well I didn’t see that one coming” weeks.

God’s Unexpected Blessings
A week ago today I was feeling rather low. I even blogged about it I was feeling so bad. Then, one blessing after another flowed into my life in unexpected ways. I got good news.

Why kicking and screaming is not the best idea
On Sunday I was feeling like I wasn’t very good at much of anything I do. Ever feel that way? On this particular day, I felt I wasn’t a very good pastor’s wife. It’s been a difficult year and a half or so of transitions at our church. And we’ve been through a lot of battles and broken hearts. And …

Woof! Jake the Boston Terrier, Interviews Donna Winters
As you know, I love dogs and have three of my own. The most outspoken of the three is Jake, a rescue dog.

My degrees are in Christian Education. So as soon as author Samuel C. Williamson asked me to read and review this book I jumped at the opportunity. Could it be that my life’s work has been for naught? Had I led a generation of kids and teens astray? I had to wonder because some of the kids I’d worked with …
