A Wife and Motherhood Mantra
Hello, tender friends! A little known fact that may surprise you: I am, shall we say, occasionally spicy of temperament. This isn’t entirely unproductive. I occasionally channel my rage into completing tasks with astonishing rapidity. I can mow our lawn as fast as Anthony if I get angry enough and take it out on the…

I Miss Home
Hello, tender friends! Waves of homesickness occasionally envelop me even though I haven’t lived home for well over a decade. I’ve left the name of my hometown/state blank so that you can insert the name of wherever you consider home and see if anything resonates with you. Oh, and here’s a little photo gem from…

A Friend’s Book Announcement!
Hello, tender friends! A dear friend of mine has released her book! Ok, it’s technically only released on Amazon Kindle, which I don’t have, so I’m debating between the regular hard copy but having to wait or figuring out Amazon Kindle. If you have any advice, I’m all ears! I just love this cover art…

Time to Embrace Royalty
Hello, tender friends! Okay, I know that you’re all biblically literate and you got both of those right! What’s funny is that Paul made those statements in Romans approximately only one chapter apart from each other. How many sermons have you heard about how important it is to recognize your sinful nature? How many sermons…

Hello and happy belated Valentine’s day, tender friends! And yes, as I promised last year, Cub and I made homemade cards this year!
