EVERY MOMent COUNTS!
Doing FamilyLife Today radio with Dennis Rainey, Bob Lepine and Barbara Rainey to discuss Easter activities and ideas was big fun for me! A little intimidating, but not really, because I know them as Dennis, Bob and Barbara and they really are great fun and always interesting to talk to – whether in a studio [...]
Happy Valentine’s Day! We have a special message for you today because we know sometimes as mothers we don’t see ourselves the way we should. Sometimes we forget to focus on the truth of who God is and how He sees us. We’re praying today that YOU know just how much God loves you and [...]
I have a pretty daggum great relationship with both of my teens. We talk to each other about stuff, real life stuff. Yeah, a real blessing for sure. Yet, at times this open communication can lead to too much truth. My teen son and I had just gone to see a movie together and on [...]
