How is August over?? Y'all ... it is crazy! Tonight is my girl will cheer at the first JV football game of the season. The best part of the end of August is that it brings me to my favorite time of the year — COLLEGE FOOTBALL SEASON!! I can't wait to watch Auburn play Louisville on Saturday. Most months I try to join the lovely Emily as she invites us all to share what we learned. For those of you who just like pictures, here is my month in images: And here is some explanation and ...

Your Favorite Posts of 2014
2014 is over and this week my goal is to get back into my blogging groove. December was a crazy month and while I did LOVE sharing some Advent thoughts from the Gospel of Luke every day on Facebook, I didn't manage to blog as much as I had hoped. So, here we are in January.

Before when my weight and cholesterol and blood pressure were numbers that looked good and gave me confidence in my health. Before when 42 was really way too young for anything scary like a heart attack. Before when I drank my coffee and ate my bagel and didn't have a handful of pills to go with my breakfast. We all have a ... [Read More]
When Broken Hearts Are Healed
I had a heart attack. Nope, I'm not joking. During church April 27. While the choir was singing. {I'm in the choir.} Yes, it feels surreal to type those words. No, I don't have a vast family history of heart disease. No, I don't have high cholesterol or high blood pressure. No, I'm not overweight. No, there were no warning signs or symptoms. Yes, I know how scary that is. {Believe me, I know!} I'm doing very well. Resting and recuperating. Adjusting to all. the. medicines. And ... [Read More]
