Give-Away

Wives if you are like me you want to pray for your husband. I pray for my husband on a daily basis, but often don’t know what or how to pray for him. Kathi Lipp‘s new book Praying God’s Word for Your Husband is a practical tool to help us pray for our husbands. Her book…

Do your kids struggle with fear at night? My kids periodically struggle with noises, darkness, spiders (she did have two spiders in her bed at two different times so I can’t blame her), etc. My dear friend Jessica Kirkland has the book app to help you and your kids. It is called The Sounds of…

My eight-year-old asks lots of questions. Questions to which I do not know the answer. Questions whose answers are difficult for me to frame answers for much less an eight-year-old.

I am not a great housekeeper. In fact I would argue that I am not even a “good” housekeeper. I actually pay someone to help clean the house…I am unorganized and I ignore things. If I don’t like the piles on the kitchen island, I don’t look at the piles. I do not think I…

My eyes darted wildly, fear etched lines in my forehead. Thoughts came one on top of the other, my skin felt incapable of holding in my heart and soul. Desperation. We all feel it at some point – when we are cornered or found out. Perhaps our child has wandered around a corner and we…

Passion is a fire in your eye, a burning in your belly. I have talked about keeping your spiritual fervor here. How to find your passion here. Now I want to talk about keeping the flames of your passion white hot. I love fires on cold nights. The smell of burning wood brings fond memories…
