My heart breaks over the situation in Haiti ... breaks. I had been wondering how to talk to Casiday about it and what to say. Yesterday, on the way to dance, I asked her if they'd talked about the earthquake in Haiti at school. She said they hadn't. So I explained there has been a terrible tragedy and many lives have been lost and many people were left with nothing. She was quiet ... contemplating that information, trying to take it all in. She climbed out of the truck at the studio. Scott ... [Read More]

But I have learned that many people are intimidated and uncertain about time in God's Word ... not because they don't recognize the value of time spent in Scripture but rather they are unsure where or how to begin.

Open Letter from a Pastor’s Wife
So often people look at me and they THINK they know who I am. After all, I married a man called by God into His ministry ... I must be a super-holy, deeply spiritual person.

Still there are some who believe my home is always immaculate and I ... [Read More]
I Heard the Bells on Christmas Day

I thought how as the day had come, The belfries of all Christendom Had roll'd along th' unbroken song Of peace on earth, good will to men. And in despair I bow'd my head: "There is no peace on earth," I said, "For hate is strong, and mocks the song Of peace on earth, good will to men." Then pealed the bells ... [Read More]
