Serious About Faith. Light-Hearted About Life.
I don’t know about you, but a Mexican restaurant in a small Kansas town sure sets the stage for a great day.
Ok, I will admit it—it wasn’t the actual restaurant that made yesterday so remarkable. But it was the company. I was blessed with the opportunity to dine (hence the reference to the Mexican restaurant) and chat with a long time family friend (and essentially mother/coach/cheerleader to all members of our community) named Susie.

Sometimes you just gotta have FUN.
This past Saturday, we had the opportunity to host our 2nd Annual Christ Community Church SERVE Banquet. It was a remarkable opportunity for all of us to get together and say THANK YOU to all of our amazing volunteers who serve within our church.
As an added bonus to some great brunch food served by our staff, our volunteers got another surprise. A chance to laugh. Hysterically.
Kelli (my boss– you remember me mentioning her before– she’s kinda cool) and our admin guru Brad had created a “little skit” for the entertainment AND encouragement for our volunteers. It. Was. Hilarious. [Read more…]
Being an army wife is…
I leave that statement blank because my army-wife life/attitude varies daily. Some of the adjectives that can fill in that blank include rewarding, frustrating, educational, encouraging, challenging, exciting etc. I never regret my decision to walk down the aisle with my beloved Infantryman/Drill Sergeant Brandon, but I must admit that sometimes I question how God decided to call me to this experience. But then I remember 1 Thessalonians 5:24– “The one who calls you is faithful and he will do it.” [Read more…]
“Time flies when you’re having fun.”
“Time is money.”
“About time!”
“Time’s a-wastin!”
How many times a day (pun intended) do you mention or think about time? Most of us are on a schedule. And many say there there isn’t enough “time” in each day to get things done. If you are feeling overwhelmed with the lack of time in your life, this one’s for you. Don’t let your schedule own you. YOU have the chance to own it! And believe it or not, God will help you with this. [Read more…]
Here’s a list of things I “need” on any given day:
I need… a nap.
I need… a break.
I need… a foot rub.
I need… motivation.
I need… more moolah. [Read more…]
Today’s post isn’t funny or witty. It isn’t meant to be convicting or profound. It’s simply a request for prayers.
On Saturday night at about 7:00pm a grain elevator in Atchison, Kansas exploded. At the time of writing, three people are dead. Three are still missing (presumed dead) and two are hospitalized.
Unforeseen tragedies happen every day throughout our cities, nation and world. So why is this one so different for me? [Read more…]
STOP. Right there.
Don’t move. Take a deep breath. In the nose and out the mouth… Seriously. Do it. That wasn’t good enough. Try again. We aren’t moving on til you do. In the nose, out the mouth.
Ahhhhh… Feel better? I do.
Honestly, I didn’t know if you felt “un-good” to start with… but sometimes life can get hurried. Like, a lot. Busyness isn’t really biased to one day of the week, and stress can strike at anytime. Yes, even Fridays. [Read more…]
Who do you tell “Good morning” each day?
Are you the kind of person who springs out of bed, raring to go with the “today-I’m-gonna-change-the-world-attitude?” Or are you the person that others understand if they approach you before your morning cup-o-joe, they might very well get shanked?
Either way, whether you are the happy-go-lucky or gimme-coffee-now or somewhere in between kinda person, you can always say good morning to one person: God. [Read more…]
We’ve been married one year yesterday.
WAWHOO!!! One down, somewhere between 49 and 74 more years to go!! 🙂 Now, for all you anti-romantics out there, don’t go sipping that haterade too early… This isn’t gonna be a gushy, mushy, so-sticky-sweet-that-it-seeps-through-your-screen-and-ruins-your-computer post about how much I love my beloved Brandon and how lucky I am to have him in my life (although I do and I am!)
Instead its going to be almost practical. (Or at least that is what I am shooting for.) [Read more…]
Have I mentioned… He calls YOU beautiful?
This was actually the title of a great speech given by one of our keynote speakers at the Women’s retreat… Hollie shared a lot of great points, many of which you might find lurking in this post.
God created us in HIS image, specifically “Imago Dei.” I doubt many of us would have the cajones to call God anything but beautiful, marvelous, worthy, beloved…. So why would we do that to ourselves if we are made BY Him, IN Him, as a reflection OF Him? [Read more…]
