Baking in the evening…

My daughter loves dessert.  Every night at 7:00 p.m., during what is known in our house as “relax time”, Emily will ask what we have for dessert.  And, being the mommy that I am, I always have something.  The best part, however, is not the hot, gooey chocolate chip cookies fresh from the oven.  The [...]

Lessons from Job

I have been dancing around the Scriptures this week. Jumping from Romans to Psalms to Galatians. Searching. Just searching for some word from God. Some explanation for what has happened over the course of the last couple of weeks.

O, to touch the feet…

I have never liked to be alone.  Something in me just does not allow me to enjoy it.  I get lonely.  I get nervous.  Every ordinary noise of the house seems magnified.  Every breeze outside the window seems eery. 
When I was young, I went through a spell where I was afraid to sleep alone.  I [...]

Nothing Wrong With Some Good Ol’ Fishsticks

I just had a bad day at work.  It was one of those days where everything I did seemed to be wrong and I just couldn’t wait to be at home.  So, I get in my car and I start thinking about what I could make for supper.  I thought making a nice meal for [...]
