For the record, in my experience, the best gift for a teenage girl is, almost always, a gift card. Because no matter what you pick out—even if you buy it at 11:30 p.m. on Christmas Eve from the last minute additions to her "this is all I want for Christmas" 20-page list of approved gifts—it will be wrong. :) Even so, there must be gifts under the tree, right? And so, we moms will do our best to find the perfect surprises for Christmas morning ... and, there's a pretty good chance we'll ... [Read More]
A Few Things on Friday the 13th
This morning when I was having my quiet time I realized it is Friday the 13th. Which of course took me back to my high school days in the late 1980s and made me think of all the horror/slasher films that I watched {and by watched I mean held my hands above my eyes as I screamed and jumped in the theater}. And that made me think about the time we took our senior adults from Georgia on a trip to the Smoky Mountains and they wanted to do Ripley's Haunted House in Gatlinburg. Y'all, I literally ...

25 Ideas for Thanksgiving Stocking Stuffers
Thanksgiving stockings. Yes, you read that right. It's my favorite tradition here at the Underwood abode. Scott and I were trying to remember when we started it ... and we're just pretty sure it was within the first year or two of our marriage. Here's the gist: We realized there are all sorts of little Christmas-y goodies we loved to gift but it seemed silly to put them into Christmas stockings because what fun are Christmas socks on Christmas morning? So, we started our Thanksgiving ... [Read More]
A Counter Cultural Life Only Matters when It Points to Jesus
Welcome to day 30 of STAND OUT: 7 traits of a counter cultural life. You can find every post in this series indexed here. So, we're slowly wrapping up this series. And I was thinking about why these last few posts have been so difficult for me to write. It hasn't just been because I've launched a whole new {huge!} project, though that has been a factor. And not just because October blew right by and I was barely able to keep up with writing the posts I'd already outlined and planned. {Though ... [Read More]
Living Counter Culturally … Only Through Christ
Welcome to day 29 of STAND OUT: 7 traits of a counter cultural life. You can find every post in this series indexed here. First off, let me just say THANK YOU for your enthusiasm for the Prayers For Girls community. Y'all, I've been overwhelmed by the response. As I wrote Monday, I truly believe God is raising up a generation of moms who are desperate to pray for their children and who are committed to making His Word the foundation of their prayers. What a powerful thing it is when we pray ... [Read More]
Prayers for Girls {or what to do when God hits you with a two by four}
Y'all, I suppose by now you're well aware I announced an exciting new project a few days ago. It's been crazy! Scott and I were headed to the Auburn-Ole Miss game {I really just can't talk about that right now} and we were amazed as literally hundreds of people were connecting with a community on Facebook and signing up to receive monthly Scripture-based calendars. Here's the thing: If ever anyone was not qualified to lead a prayer-based ministry it is me. Prayer is overwhelming to me. ... [Read More]
