At the table…
When did sharing a meal become a revolution? And yet, for us it is combatting isolation and distance that threatens our ability care and share in our hectic world.

I am both…
Too often, we expect growth and maturity to lead from weakness to strength, but the people I admire are those who recognize maturity is not a linear journey but one that embraces the messiness of our whole hearts.

On showing up…
This month, I want to apply the principal of showing up to my writing. One of the challenges I’ve faced as I have gone about this project is that I don’t really have a focus. I’m not sure what I’m supposed to write about. I don’t know how often, or how much. I have just been stumbling around in the dark.

In the company of women…
I find myself at this moment in my life feeling as though some things that are both familiar and good no longer seem to fit. I think the hardest thing for me is to let go of something I love, not because it isn’t good anymore but because now isn’t the right time. Share this...FacebookPinterestTwitterLinkedin

Of Jesus and His Love…
I look around at these folks, and see folks. People just trying to walk it out. Folks with baggage, and wounds, limping along, doing the best they can.

What God has joined together…
Marriage is not for the faint of heart. It can be a street fight for truth, respect, humility, and love. Those of us on the sidelines would do well to remember that we don’t really know… what goes on behind the four walls of a home.

A report from the screaming edge…
I am blessed. I live an extraordinary life filled with amazing people, a loving (if crazy) family, meaningful work, and abundance on every side. This life is overflowing with blessing and love, and yet, I find myself collapsed in a heap, overwhelmed, and overloaded. Share this...FacebookPinterestTwitterLinkedin

On church ladies…
Church ladies have gotten a bad wrap. You know the stereotype, prim and proper, judgmental, and out of touch. If I’m honest, they can even get a bad wrap from me… and I’ve been one for twenty five years. The other day, I sat in a group of church ladies, and marveled. These are women who have been roughed up by life. They have walked through the fire but they are still walking. They are my heroes. Share this...FacebookPinterestTwitterLinkedin

When we gather…
Community is built with courage and intention. We don’t come together without fear and frustrations. We know the cost of sharing our lives, but we have determined that the value of community outweighs the cost.
