Dear Monday, I really need another day to prepare for you. Could you come back tomorrow and let's try this again? Mmkay? Thanks! xo, TL Wouldn't it be awesome if I could really do that? Just add in 24 hours between Sunday and Monday? Because, seriously, I really need a day to recover from the chaos of Sunday before the totally different but just as chaotic day we call Monday. Don't you? I'm sitting here in my office/study right now. I've had my quiet time this morning ... ... [Read More]

Dear Weary Mom, The Hardest Lesson
It's Thursday. I love Thursdays. Thursdays around here are for dishing up truth and hope and grace about mothering. And I'm so glad you are here to join me. So let's get going . . .

I want to give my girl the freedom to sleep late on the ... [Read More]
Sabbath Thoughts
Yesterday we had friends from Georgia over for lunch after church. We ate a simple meal of chicken and dumplins with cornbread and sat around the table laughing and reminiscing about the first time we'd met and trips we'd taken together. We marveled at how big our girls are now and wondered where the time went.

{Sunday Scripture} Psalm 105:3
Don't you love this photo? I took it a few weeks ago when I was at youth camp with the students from our church.
