God’s Gracious Exchange

Missing the Mark I love playing mini golf. My favorite course is in Cocoa Beach, Florida. It is beautifully designed with palm trees, caves, waterfalls, and live alligators along the way! While I like the competitive nature of playing with family or friends, I’m not very good. On the scorecard,

Trust in the Lord

Trust in the LORD. …with all your heart, in all your ways… There was a time last year when our family went through the furnace. We live next to the war in Ukraine, and my husband has been deeply involved in humanitarian aid efforts. With that reality have come questions

Come, Lord Jesus

It happens every year for Christmas. My kids come up with one or two things that they really, really, really want. A few years back, our oldest wanted a remote-control helicopter. He was nine years old. We tried to reason with him, redirect him, give him other options but, in
