There are some Psalms that just speak to me. It doesn’t seem to matter what’s going on in my life, I read them and I am challenged. Psalm 84 has always been one of those. Then I participated in the Beth Moore Psalms of Ascent study and an entirely new layer was exposed. This week our pastor taught on Psalm …
Some fun Adventures in Odyssey videos
You know we love Adventures in Odyssey, so I thought you’d like to see some behind the scenes video answering questions like how old are the characters? If you’ve listened, there seem to be two timelines. Some characters age and others don’t. If you love Adventures in Odyssey, be sure to check out the new Club. The end of summer is …
Call to Prayer
We are so blessed in America. The persecution we experience — if any — is small in light of what is happening to the church around the world. I wasn’t able to watch Friday night’s special, but I can’t stay silent. Isn’t it time for us to wake up and pray for our brothers and sisters around the world? What …
Back-to-School Already? 4 reminders
One of the unique things about me is that I’m a second-generation homeschooling momma. That means I was homeschooled and now homeschool my kiddos.

You’ll notice I’m on a …

Faith Thoughts: Adoption
Helping families with adoptions is one of my favorite parts of serving as an attorney. There are such strong spiritual implications of adoption. One of the legal roles I still fill as often as possible is serving as attorney for families who seek to adopt a child. The judge and I call it happy law. So much of the law involves problems …
Movie Premieres and Book Signings, oh my!
I often talk about how writing is a hard career for an extrovert. So often my writing is done in front of a computer and I wait for electronic feedback from my agent, editors, friends, readers. It can feel solitary because the face to face contact usually comes once a year at ACFW. This past weekend, my daughter and I …
