Here’s something a bit different. I’m in the middle of a bunch of books. Book you’ll love. Rather than wait until I’m done with all of them, here’s teaser. Reviews to come later…I never used to think I read multiple books at a time. Boy, was I wrong! And I seem to be on a historical kick, though there’s a …
Living Life as Ministry
I spent Friday at a friend’s house as we participated in our neighborhood’s garage sale. My week was utter chaos as I sorted boxes of baby and toddler clothes…desperate to get them ready for the sale. I’m ready to declutter that part of my life. It took a ton of effort. And my room is almost put back together. There’s …

Reluctant Cowgirl Review
I read Reluctant Cowgirl last week and loved it. I’ve heard great things about Christine’s writing, even had one of her books sitting in my TBR pile, but never quite got it to the top of the pile.

So today, pop over to this blog to read a post on quitting. I’d love your thoughts. Mine…if God has placed the dream in your heart, don’t stop until He …
Random Musings on Ego
Y’all know I went to the Steven Curtis Chapman/Michael W. Smith United tour at the end of March. I love the music both those men put out and have tapes/CDs going back to the um beginning.

Self-Discipline: a 4 letter word?
Self-Discipline. What a … delightful… word. And one I’m living right now. The mini-marathon is 3 weeks away, and the training has reached the point that it’s not fun. At all. I’m sorry, but there’s nothing enjoyable about 8+ mile runs. Even 5 mile runs done 2-3 times a week aren’t fun. But if I’m going to survive the mini, …
