This could make me very unpopular. Sin is sin no matter what you call it. Sin is not a lifestyle choice. a phase or stage of life. an accident. My sins are no greater than yours and they are certainly not any less. While we have the freedom to choose, we are not free from the consequencesRead More

Surviving a Hurricane
This summer, we finally joined part of my husband’s family on a vacation to Maui! Traveling together, aside from visiting parents and grandparents, has been a rare treat since our return Stateside, four years ago. We enjoyed the ocean, the beautiful scenery, and the perfect climate. … well, almost perfect. The day before our scheduledRead More

Hide and Seek
Finding something usually first requires looking for it. Occasionally, in my life as a stay-at-home mom, I find things without actively searching for them; they just “happen” to be in my path. Other times, I find something for my children (or husband) within seconds of looking (or by telling them EXACTLY where it isRead More

Lord, Listen to Your Children Praying
When I go through my daily routines, I pray. As I scroll through Facebook, I pray. While driving to and from events, errands, and appointments, I pray. The few (sometimes) quiet minutes I find when I shower, I pray. When I find myself unable to fall asleep, I pray. When I hear the controversiesRead More

Everyday Celebrities
When Famous Person dies, everyone hears about it within hours of the first rumor. Social media explodes with the news. Fans are outraged. Comedians make jokes. Colleagues recount a favorite memory. Family members offer a statement but suffer alone in their grief. BUT the world is full of people who are celebrities to their family, friends,Read More

Messy Christmas to all…
As the mother to allergic children, life is sometimes a very complicated and messy kind of exciting. I do my best to control the variables, avoid the trigger foods, minimize contaminations, but still allow them to have fun and normal meals and experiences. Every once in a while, something sneaks through. Every person is different,Read More

Teaching the Children, Election Day
Today, America decides. Everyday choices influence our course, but today, we each have an opportunity to affect greater change. The impact of our choice today will last for many years. This election seems to be the most pivotal of all time. (I do not know about all election years. I do not remember all of theRead More

Changing Seasons and Time Management
I’ve been very absent in the blogging world. While I can offer many excuses, all the symptoms boil down to one problem: time management. This problem comes with many side effects and the end result is that nothing is really “done” or “complete” and certainly far from “perfect.” Even as I started writing this post,Read More

SQT: Super Mom vs Super Bug
March ticked by slowly in a blur of illness. In between cleaning throw up, blowing noses, busting a vessel in my eye, and losing my voice, I had my best direct sales month ever. We made two trips as well, one for my sister’s birthday and one for Leadership Training for Christ. I learned aRead More

A Growing Cloud of Witnesses
Sometimes we have no words for an event or situation. Sometimes the real problem is we have a jumble of too many words and getting them out or processing them interferes with all the emotions connected to the words. The past few days have been filled with such words and emotions for me. I’m onceRead More
