Distance from Family
I was reminded about my family that lives across the country. Too often I don’t think about them because I don’t see them. I get so caught up in my own life in Minnesota that I forget that they even exist, which is not a good thing. It saddens me more, when I remember that…

It may not even happen.
The majority of what we are afraid of … never happens. If you are anything like me, you think way to much about what could happen rather than focus on what is going on right now. We get ourselves so worked up about the “What ifs” that we become afraid of our own shadows. The…

Man of the house.
Ok guys, don’t hate me for this. But… we really need you to step it up this year. Now, I am not the type of woman that likes putting men down, so that we can be “equal.” NO! I am asking/screaming for help. As a Christian woman that is seeing all the problems in the…

Be Reasonable
Have you ever been told “Be reasonable?” Most of us think that “Be reasonable” means to act or think in a fair and sensible way, based on facts not emotions. Often can mean choosing an action that is doable and makes sense. As a Christian we are charged in the book of Romans to give…

Let’s get excited.
There is nothing like having God in every area of your life. It fills you with such an excitement that you feel like a child again. When a small child is excited their entire being laughs. You know what I mean. Their face lights up, their body shakes with joy, and their heart is soaring.…
