Most of my articles are summarized versions of the sermons I preach at church. Currently, our church is participating in a season of 40 days of prayer and fasting as we seek God’s direction for our local mission. During the fast, I have decided to preach on our core values as a way of reaffirming
When it comes to fall, I have so many favorites. Last week we talked about soups. I made that Chili Mac and Cheese for our hayride, and let me tell you; it was hit. We had so many delicious soups. A dozen to be exact. And the pies! Ohhh, the pies. I had to sample
Your little toe hangs off the side. Urgh. Behind your ankle, your foot sticks out a half an inch, too, and you simply must face it: the sandals you lust after, the last pair marked down, are too small. Unlike Cinderella’s sister, you can’t cut off your toes. Maybe, as in the new novel “If
Ahhhh, hey there, October! One of my favorite months of the year. October means crisp fall mornings and nights lit with jack-o’-lanterns. It means hoodies, boots, and flannels.

Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for he who promised is faithful. And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds…and all the more as you see the day approaching. Hebrews 10:23-25. In last week’s article, we focused on what it means to spur one
Fall is officially here, which is crazy. I feel like it was just June, and my kids were fresh out of school on summer break, and we went to pick strawberries and raspberries so I could stock our freezer back up on homemade jellies. Now, all I am waiting on are some apples for applesauce,
I’m sure it’s no surprise to regular readers to learn that I have a lot of clothing. However, at the beginning of a new season, I always feel like I have nothing to wear, even with a closet full of clothes. Normally, when my wardrobe was feeling a bit stale, I’d go shopping, but with
“Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for he who promised is faithful. And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds — and all the more as you see the day approaching.” Hebrews 10:23-25. Love Growing Cold The last of Jesus’ teaching is recorded in
I have been asked recently what exactly the differences are between a health coach, a wellness coach, and a personal fitness trainer, so I thought I would take this opportunity to explain these terms and how they all relate to wellness.
