Why Are We Always Hopping a Plane to “Egypt?”

Mark Twain famously said, “Denial ain’t just a river in Egypt.” Sometimes we find it easier to live in denial of the truth than to accept it, so we hop planes to “Egypt.” The truth isn’t always pretty. It’s not always what we want to hear. The situation gets even more uncomfortable when the truth […]

I Recently Changed My Name

I changed my name because I got married – more than 19 years ago!!  It’s sort of a long story, but it involves a life that got too busy and a heart that was too proud. I liked my maiden name (Langford). I was used to it. I’m adopted and it always felt like one […]

Lent Through a Different Lens

I grew up Catholic. Like really Catholic. Not Latin mass Catholic, but go-to-church every Sunday no matter where you are in the world Catholic. Want to go on a trip somewhere but you won’t be able to make it to mass on Sunday, then you “can’t go Catholic.” Looking back at my parent’s devotion to […]

The World Is Starving Spiritually

As I’m watching the revival happening at Asbury University (and the other college campuses it is spreading to), I keep thinking how “hungry” these young people are for God. How much they are craving closeness to Jesus. The world is starving spiritually.  We have looked for sustenance in places, ideas and people who cannot feed […]

My relationship with God is Based on Perfection… His, not mine.

Sometimes you might “hear a word” or “get a word” from the Lord. Other times perhaps you feel that small stirring inside of you giving direction. And sometimes (if you’re like me) you get what I refer to as the “Holy Spirt Woosh.” I’m pretty sure that “woosh” doesn’t appear anywhere in the Bible, but […]

All Human Life is Precious

I believe in freedom of speech. I believe in freedom of religion. I believe in the right to peaceably assemble and protest. I believe our national and world leadership, and in fact every person should take a stand against the oppression, exploitation and violation of people throughout the world. I believe that ALL human life […]

Today I’m Staying Home

Today I’m staying home. Not because I don’t believe in equal rights. Not because I don’t believe in dignity for all people. Today I’m staying home because I believe our President and our nation needs my prayers more than my protests. Today I’m staying home because I’m hopeful, not in one man or one administration, […]

If you spend much time scrolling through Instagram or Pinterest you’ve probably found yourself drawn to images that are beautiful. The ones that are pretty and perfectly arranged. From gorgeous portraits of people who look like they belong in a J.Crew catalog to perfectly hand lettered graphics of heart catching quotes. As humans we’re drawn […]

Child's hands putting frosting on a cupcake

"For those who are led by the Spirit of God are the children of God. The spirit you received does not make you slaves, so that you live in fear again; rather, the Spirit you received brought about your adoption to sonship. And by him we cry, "Abba, Father." The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are God's children."

ROMANS 8: 14-16, ESV
