I was absolutely fascinated by what he said and had to read the book as soon as I could get my hands on it. Wallace is a cold-case detective, as well a former atheist so he brings a great deal of knowledge and credibility to the table. I...

Tuesday, November 01, 2016

What is in a name? A lot, actually. For centuries, a person’s name has held deep meaning. Whether it is a family name passed down though generations or a name that is earned through bravery and valor, names can tell us a lot about a person. God has revealed himself through his Word in many different ways, and one of my favorite ways...
Have you ever felt that as a woman who takes on many roles, you are sometimes just drowning in a surplus of tasks, needs, demands and wants? From the many hats we wear as mother, wife, grandmother, sister, friend, counselor, co-worker, etc. every part of life can whisk us away and carry us downstream if we are not intentional. Some days, the overwhelming...
I love infographics. If there is an illustrated graphic to help me understand something, I will be 100 times more likely to remember what I learned. I even have an entire Pinterest board dedicated to fun and interesting infographics. That’s why I was so excited to learn about Tim Challies’ new book Visual Theology. I jumped at the chance to get a first...

I love Rome. From the moment I set foot in the Ancient City as a Freshman in college, I was captivated. Captivated by the beauty of everything that made Rome, ROME. I’d dreamt of Rome, read books about her and watched movies that took place in Rome (the greatest of which is, by far, Three Coins in the Fountain, followed closely behind by...
I wrote an article several years ago called When You're Doing Your Best Just to Enter the Sanctuary, and since Mother's Day is tomorrow, I thought I would share it again for any friends who may be wrestling with this. Its about mothers are mothers, but aren't mothering. Its about mothers who have held a baby either in their womb or in their...
