What a Little Rain Can Do! Isn’t it amazing what a little rain can do for both the environment and the soul? With all the wind we’ve been having lately, things were already beginning to look a little drab and sad. When I was mowing the grass on Saturday, I noticed it was getting thinContinue reading “Office Buzz 🐝”

Through the Lens of a Visitor
Walking into a church for the first time can feel a little like stepping into someone else’s family reunion. Everyone seems to know where to sit, when to stand, and exactly where the coffee is. Meanwhile, the visitor quietly wonders if they’ve entered through the right door or accidentally taken someone’s favorite pew. For manyContinue reading “Through the Lens of a Visitor”

The Miracle of Spring! I was thinking about what I would write this week when I was struck by how the view outside my picture window had changed over the last few days. It had gone from the post-winter drab brown to hints of lush green. The Miracle of Spring! It always amazes me howContinue reading “Office Buzz 🐝”
You Hem Me In
Psalm 139:5 says, “You hem me in behind and before, and you lay your hand upon me.” For many years, I never once thought of those words as negative.

Rural Life & Christian Family Sunday
Warm sun shines through my window, the plant on the windowsill is suddenly thriving again, and 97% of the calves have arrived safely. Garden seed packages are spread across the kitchen island, there is sand and mud tracked across the floor no matter how many times it gets swept, and somehow it feels like lifeContinue reading “Rural Life & Christian Family Sunday”

Celebrating Mom! As we approach Mother’s Day, I want to take a moment to acknowledge all of the incredible mother figures in my life. There have been so many wonderful women who have helped shape me into who I am today—and I don’t think I’ve ever truly said it—so thank you for everything you’ve givenContinue reading “Office Buzz 🐝”
