  • Georgia on My Mind

    One of my biggest fears when I was a little girl was that something bad would happen to my mom when I was away from her. Honestly, it was my absolute biggest fear and it contributed to the anxiety disorders I have endured as an adult. My dad was out of the picture before he…

  • How do you measure a year?

    Five hundred twenty-five thousand, six hundred minutes. Five hundred twenty-five thousand moments so dear. Five hundred twenty-five thousand six hundred minutes. How do you measure, measure a year? In daylights, in sunsets, in midnights, in cups of coffee (or diet Dr. Pepper) In inches, in miles, in laughter, in strife. In five hundred twenty-five thousand,…

  • Thanxiety

    I think I have invented a couple new words! Well, not really new words but rather a combination of already-existing words. I’ll tell you what they are in just a paragraph or two, but first I want to let you know how this came about. Recently, in a series of teaching on Philippians at church,…

  • The Unfolding

    In November of 2022, my husband Les and I got to sit down with Meredith Foster from WBGL Christian radio to record an episode of “The Unfolding” – an on-going podcast with more than 150 episodes to date. (That’s Meredith with me in the photo above.) New editions of the show, usually released weekly, tell…

  • Just for Fun

    I enjoy sharing through this blog how God has been working in my life to heal me of cancer and a decades-long battle with anxiety and agoraphobia. For this post, I want to get a bit more lighthearted and share some of my favorite things I’ve experienced (so far) as I venture out after so…

  • In the Details

    The past couple weeks have been a little rough. Nothing extraordinarily big has happened, but several things have made us grit our teeth and take more than a few deep breaths. Our daughter was in a car accident that totaled her car and caused her to break her hand. Our little boys have been in…

  • Fog

    We just got done spending a weekend in Galesburg (our hometown) visiting with family and spending some time with my mom. We’re on the road heading home now and it is very foggy. It’s the kind of fog that makes it hard to see the road signs, or even the road, at times. Not too…

  • What’s with the stones?

    In the outside pocket of my red backpack is a small collection of stones. They aren’t there to make the bag heavier in an attempt to get in some strength training (although that wouldn’t be a terrible idea). I carry them with me as sort of a memorial of the things God has done and…
