I put my underwear on inside-out twice in the past week. Too much information? Yeah, sorry about that.
The first time I did it, I was visiting my father and I suspected my mind was on him. But then I did it again after I got home and I’m not sure what I was thinking at that point. Clearly, I was ... Read More
Someone I love in Ohio got into a car accident over the weekend. My first thought was to run to him. He’s okay, but I wanted to be there. To hug his neck and pray with him and reassure him that this accident at age 16 might keep him out of baseball for the season, but it won’t define the ... Read More
You should have seen my face when the nurse told me I had to go home with a catheter. I was less than cheerful. Yet, I obeyed, because what choice did I really have?
Last week’s hysterectomy was a smashing success, minus the bag of my own urine I have had to carry around for the last five days.
God always seems ... Read More
I’m having some trust issues lately. Ever been there?
It’s not my husband or my kids or my friends. It’s bigger than that. I’m having a hard time trusting God.
I’m not telling you anything I haven’t told Him. Believe me, I’ve told Him. It’s a good thing He’s patient and abounding in love. I’d have kicked me to the curb by ... Read More
She’s 18. I can’t believe she’s 18. It’s like reading a book that has a Part 1 and a Part 2. We are reading the last chapter of Part 1 and are wondering what plot twists and new characters Part 2 will reveal.
I cried when I found out I was pregnant with a girl. Saul and I had tried to ... Read More
I talked with Max the other day. You know, Max, right? Pastor, author, Fixer Upper alum. More than 154 million copies of his books sold globally. That Max.
Some people like to call him by his full name, Max Lucado, but I prefer to keep our relationship casual.
He asked me to send him some copies of my book, so I’ll probably ... Read More
Have you ever wanted something? Of course you have. We all have. Little things, big things. A new journal, a trip to Fiji … you know, just the regular stuff.
I’m an over-the-top sort of person, so not only do I want things, but I want them twice. (That probably explains my former addictions. Bartender, make it a double!)
Someone asked me ... Read More
How’s your perspective lately? I thought mine was pretty good until I sat next to a man on the airplane last week who took up his seat and a little bit of mine.
He sat down and we all buckled up and then we were off like a bunch of happy sardines for our three-hour flight. I wasn’t annoyed in the ... Read More
Sometimes I will be at the store, and know I’m supposed to buy something for someone, but I don’t know who. Or I’ll be packing for a trip, and I know I’m supposed to throw in a few extra books I’ve written but I don’t know why.
It’s always fun when I figure out the people who were meant to be ... Read More
Saul is a college basketball coach. He came home from practice the other night, and as usual, called out, “Hellooooo!” as he opened the door.
As usual, he dropped his work stuff on the floor and headed straight to the kitchen.
After he got some food in his belly, he returned to the couch, as usual, and opened his computer.
Once he got ... Read More
