  • Compassionate Hearts on Compassion Sunday

    Compassion Sunday is a nationwide event during which churches reach out to fellow Christians and encourage them to sponsor children who live in extreme poverty all over the world. These sponsorships, which provide education in a loving environment, meals, medical care and more, give children opportunities in life and in their communities that they may not have…

  • Prayers For Giza

    Originally posted on Snapfairy Photography: Most of us have probably never heard of Retinoblastoma or know someone that has it. It is a rare form of  pediatric eye cancer that affects children under five years of age. I read that about 40% of children are diagnosed with this condition each year and it is treatable…

  • Touching Lives With Distant Hands

    Compassion Sunday is almost here. April 21, 2013 is a day of hope for thousands of children who live in impoverished conditions around the world. It’s also a day of opportunity for the rest of us–an opportunity to share our blessings and touch the lives of these children by sponsoring a child. Proverbs 19:17 reads,…

  • Marriage Part II: The Choice

    Imagine you’re two months away from walking down the aisle.

  • Grand Theft Chocolate!

    I didn’t mean to do it. Every few nights for the past several weeks I’ve stuck my hand in the freezer, ignored the single remaining ice cream bar that belongs to my husband Jon, and grabbed my own non-fat blueberry swirl yogurt bar. Don’t get me wrong, the yogurt tastes good. Just not the rich…

  • The Bible – Better Read Than Watched on TV

    I’ve been hearing all week about the upcoming The Bible series on the History channel. Though I originally determined not to watch it (because movies derived from books rarely do the original work justice, and I didn’t want to have that disgusted feeling about the precious Word put to screen) I succumbed to the pressure…

  • God Speaks. Are You Listening?

    Drake was by all appearances a super-Christian… Check out a valuable lesson learned in my walk with God as I share one of my early experiences as a Christian. You can find the story at A Pew Perspective, where I am guest blogging today.

  • My Iron Sharpener

    A friend loves at all times… (Proverbs 17:17) Ten years ago she stood behind me fastening the last clasp on my wedding dress. She adjusted my veil, told me I looked beautiful, then reminded me of the signal I was supposed to use if – before the “I do’s” – I had a single doubt…
