In the immortal words of Schwartz on A Christmas Story, "I triple dog dare you!" No, silly, not to stick your tongue to the flag pole. That would totally hurt! I am challenging you to take the #encouragementdare. Will you take the #encouragementdare? Okay, I know, you're thinking two things: I have no idea what this is; and It sounds like something I'd like to do. Let me share a few more details. The #EncouragementDare In 2007, then-President Obama established September 12 ... [Read More]
Our Generous God: A Study of Ruth {#fallbiblestudy}
Recently I asked a question on my Facebook page — When you see or hear the word ENTITLED, what is your first thought? The answers weren't too surprising. Spoiled, selfish, feeling of privilege. Others said someone who thinks something is owed to them. My friend Becky wrote this, "Expectation of privilege without gratitude." Which of course made me think about the sentence that rocked my world a few years ago, I’m learning we can’t be grateful for something we feel entitled to, even ... [Read More]
The Day After (and why it’s even better than the day of)
Today isn't the big day It's just an ordinary Wednesday. We've got Vacation Bible School tonight. I need to give the dog a bath. And there are errands to be run. I'll spend my morning doing laundry and running the vacuum. I'll spend my afternoon in the car, driving then stopping multiple times to complete all the tasks on my list. I'll probably forget to eat lunch before I leave the house and will therefore be unable to resist the siren call of the hot sign at Krispy Kreme around 3:30 pm. It ... [Read More]

And I believe they can change you too! Praying for Girls: Asking God for the Things They Need Most "Praying for Girls: Asking God for the ... [Read More]
5 Reasons to Choose DaySpring Planners
The next 12 months are full of big stuff for the Underwoods. My book release and Casiday's senior year are sort of the bookends to all the ink poured out on our calendars. I'm always a planner nerd ... and it's not unusual for me to switch planners if the one I'm using doesn't work for me. In fact, that very thing happened last November. DaySpring was having a great sale on their 2016-2017 planners so I ordered one. And I fell in love. Seriously. I've tried pretty much every planner out ... [Read More]
3 Tips for Finding Time to Read Your Bible
"I know I need to read my Bible. But it seems like I never have time to sit down and really get into it." My friend wasn't the first person to make this sort of statement to me and I seriously doubt she'll be the last. In fact, I believe this is the reality for most of the women I know and maybe it's your reality as well. You want to find time to read your Bible but you never seem to be able to piece together more than five or ten minutes at a time. Girl, I feel you! And I've got some good ... [Read More]
