The funniest movie moment I’ve seen this summer comes at the very end of Inside Out, as the main preteen girl character talks to a preteen boy at a hockey rink. We’ve been seeing inside her head the whole movie, but instantly the camera zooms out of her brain and into his…. where his mental control room is suddenly in chaos. The warning lights flash “GIRL! GIRL! GIRL!” and everything in his mind seizes up or turns somersaults.

My 12-year-old son saw that and said, “Actually… that’s pretty much what it feels like.” [Read more…]

Freedom from Pornography: #PureEyesCleanHeart Giveaway

October 6, 2014 by

We live in a world of very mixed messages. Sometimes it is hard to keep all of those messages straight. Jesus says one thing. The world says another.

Unfortunately, some of those messages are accompanied by bondage.

Some messages take away our freedom.

Pornography is one. [Read more…]

When More Is Not Enough (Book Review & Giveaway)

September 22, 2014 by

My daughter is a smidge over a year and a half old. She is saying several dozen words, but her current favorite word comes as no surprise:

“MORE!”

Everything is more. More milk. More fun. More whatever-is-in-mama’s-salad-bowl. More, more, more, more, MORE.

It is (kind of) cute right now. However, as she grows, we are gonna put the whoa on this more business.

When More is not enoughWhich is a great theory. But can be difficult in our society of more, bigger, better, faster, me, me, me.

Fortunately, there is an AH-MAZ-ING new tool that all of us Jesus-loving parents can add to our arsenal.

Amy’s new book, “When More Is Not Enough: How to stop giving your kids what they want and start giving them what they need.”

Check out the book trailer below (or if you are reading via email, click here.) Then keep reading for more details (AND A GIVEAWAY!)  [Read more…]

Spiritual Misfit (A Giveaway & #EverydayJesus Linkup)

May 15, 2014 by

Welcome to another week of our Everyday Jesus link-up. Be sure to link-up below this post, comment on your neighbor’s blog and share with your friends… Because Jesus is everywhere, every day! 

***

I have to be honest… I have always been somewhat of a misfit.

Growing up, I would much rather read inside or go to the library than be frolicking outside in the spring weather.

In high school, I didn’t do ANY sports (unless you count cheerleading for one year.) Our school was teeny-tiny (um, 18 people in our graduating class) so really, anybody who was anybody played sports.

For senior prom, my date and I wore a duct tape outfit.

In college, I didn’t procrastinate– I always did my work ahead of time “just in case.” #nerdalert

My final college spring break wasn’t spent at a tropical beach somewhere… I was in a hotel ballroom at Missouri Auction School becoming a certified auctioneer.

Yep. I have always been kind of a misfit. And that stands true today. [Read more…]

We are PreApproved! (Love Idol Book Giveaway) #EverydayJesus

April 24, 2014 by

Welcome to another week of our Everyday Jesus link-up. Be sure to link-up below this post, comment on your neighbor’s blog and share with your friends… Because Jesus is everywhere, every day! 

***

For as long as I can remember, I have been a people pleaser.

I always wanted to get good grades in school. I was paranoid about forgetting something important for class, so I was that middle schooler who always carried around way too many school books “just in case.”

In high school, I was pretty self-conscious about my physical appearance as I was overweight. I tried to ignore it and instead embellished my personality to win others over.

I just wanted to be liked. [Read more…]

Welcome to a FRESH 7 Days Time! (And a HUGE giveaway!)

November 18, 2013 by

Sorry about all the CAPS LOCK and EXCLAMATION POINTS in the title.

But I’m  a little bit excited. I kind of want to make loud noises and be a bit obnoxious. However, I shall refrain. (For now.) So…

Welcome, dear friends, to a FRESH 7 Days Time (and a giveaway.) As you can see, we have drastically expanded and gave this ministry a complete makeover. (I refuse to say “new and improved” because if something is truly new, then it couldn’t have been improved upon… and vice versa.) Anywho.

This major website/ministry overhaul has taken about 12 weeks (God called me to do this myself and I am about as codex tech savvy as my 8-month-old infant.) That being said, I give ALL the glory to God… This revamp has involved more prayers that I can count, a few (or more than a few) squares of dark chocolate and about a thousand Google questions starting with either “How do I…” or “What happens if…”

But we’ve made it. And I couldn’t be more thrilled. Thankful. Hopeful.

So welcome. WAWHOOO!! <had to get that out of my system.) [Read more…]

My Dirty Word

November 14, 2012 by

Confession: Getting your mouth washed out with soap tastes like…

Poo.

I know this for a fact thanks to my slight potty mouth when I was growing up. It wasn’t a rampant problem, but would often happen at the most inopportune times.

And by inopportune, I really mean the times that my Mom would hear it.

Then out came the bar of soap. (Or, if it was a REALLY bad word, enter sink left the liquid Dial soap. Ever try to get that off your tongue? Yeah, um yuck?) [Read more…]
