Day 2 of “When God Speaks {or doesn’t} kicks off with a heartbreakingly beautiful story from another beloved friend, Dabney with whom I had the pleasure of working with while I was at InterVarsity. Trigger warning for those who have lost children. ~ Last week I gave birth to a beautiful baby girl during my […]
Every year, across the world 287,000 women die in pregnancy and childbirth. If that seems fairly high to you, it is. That’s one death every 2 minutes, 800 times a day across our globe. These unborn souls need traveling mercies if anyone has ever needed it. Alemi, on the right is 25. She lost her […]
Yes, I was planning to stay focused on facilitating reflections of 2010. Forgive me for bumbling along on other fascinating subjects such as feeling sorry for myself and crying about it like a big baby. Fear not my friends!

Today is July 16. Yikes! Meaning I’ve got exactly 16 days left until my Sabbatical is over on Aug.1 . I was given the glorious gift of a 12-month paid time of rest & refreshment from my normal day-to-day work. I chose to use 8 months of that time going to school full-time. And now, […]
So, Ransom -3.5 yrs. old mind you- apparently shared his 1st ever open mouth kiss with a hot little tamale named Viv, pictured together below. Viv’s parents are good friends of ours. Ran & Viv have been thick as thieves since they were born –only two weeks apart. Anyway, Dave & I didn’t witness it, […]
