It’s hard for me to know how to pray some days. It’s not that I don’t have anything or anyone to pray for. Lord knows, the list is long.
It’s just that I have a desire to really feel God, to be in His presence. Sometimes the feeling is there. Sometimes it’s not.
I sit down in my special chair each morning ... Read More

I had this awesome idea to make wooden business cards. I actually stole the idea from the tattoo artist in Ohio who inked my nipple after my breast cancer reconstruction– too much information???
Anywho, I ... Read More
I’m shaking things up a bit this week. Okay, God’s shaking things up. I’m just trying not to get in His way.
I’ve had a dream come true. I belong to a group called COMPEL, an online community that equips people who want to hone their writing. Last September-ish, a piece I wrote about my dad was chosen to ... Read More
For 16 years, people have been asking me, “What’s it like to be a coach’s wife?”
For 16 years, my answer has been, “Um… I don’t know. It’s good?”
The thing is, I don’t know any different. Saul is the only husband I’ve ever had, so I’ve never had the opportunity to compare my husband, the Division 1 College Basketball Coach, with ... Read More
Eighteen years ago I stood on the pitcher’s mound at the old Milwaukee Brewers stadium. I was wearing a headset that was streaming the Beatles into my ears. With my pitch pipe in hand, I got my starting note and waited for the tech guys to turn off the music so I could begin the National Anthem.
Only they forgot to ... Read More
My past week:
Tuesday: Arrive at the hotel in Cleveland and set the kids free in the pool while trying to stomp down the anxiety of beginning another season of March Madness as the wife of a Division 1 basketball coach.
Wednesday: Text the friend I met several years ago in another tournament. Her husband was a coach too. Now he is ... Read More
If I only sat down at my computer when I had something to say, I would never sit down at my computer.
Seriously.
I blog on Monday and Thursday mornings, so sitting down at my computer is kind of essential.
At approximately 6:53AM twice a week, God hears the exact same prayer. God, what do you want me to tell them? I don’t ... Read More
Have you ever gotten stuck on someone’s choice of words and therefore missed the entire point of what they were saying?
It’s happens to me most frequently with the word “fine”.
I’ll be nervous about going to an event and tentatively ask my husband what he thinks of my outfit. He responds with, “It’s fine.”
He is thinking, Yep, that fits the bill ... Read More
It’s funny how the same circumstances can look so different when you take a moment to stroll around the perimeter of a problem.
My daughter turned 13 yesterday. Well, sort of yesterday — she’s a Leap Day baby, so she only gets a birthday once every four years. Don’t feel too sorry for her. With no February 29th, she decided to ... Read More
“I don’t know what to do. My life is too stressful. Something’s gotta give. If I quit my job, the stress will be gone, but then I can’t pay my mortgage. Everyone wants something from me. I can’t keep up.”
The woman sat next to me with pleading in her eyes. She wanted me to find a solution for her. She ... Read More
