EVERY MOMent COUNTS!
We all remember where we were that day, September 11, 2001. But do you remember where you were September 9, 2001? My friend, Cindy does, because she was attending worship services in the Brooklyn Tabernacle in New York City, listening to a sermon by Jim Cymbala. What the pastor could not have known then, but [...]
My husband and I are currently praying faithfully for three couples who are in significant marital stress. Affairs are going on in all three. Our son told us about several friends of his, all in their 30s, who are quitting on marriage. Sadly it is such a common occurrence that we are usually not shocked by the news. We shrug [...]

Several weeks ago, I wrote a post suggesting prayers for the people of Egypt. Now it is Japan, though for very different reasons. An application that is appropriate for we who are currently living in safety. Watching the 24/7 news channels can make one depressed. The images are beyond comprehension, unimaginable tragedy, though our eyes tell us it [...]
The New Testament is full of them. The blind seeing. The lame walking. The sinful made miraculously emotionally well. Miracles. We long for them.

I find that my greatest expression of worship is toward God and is regularly expressed at church service. My church attendance is an [...]
Many of you who read MomLife Today are looking for survival tips for daily life in your home; surviving riots, looting, and church bombings isn’t on your radar, thankfully. What’s happening in Egypt is a distant news item for most of us. I understand. I remember vaguely the Iranian hostage crisis of 1979 and 1980 because I [...]
We moms have a zillion concerns for our kids. And those of us who claim to know God and some who don’t send a lot of those concerns to heaven in the form of prayers. It doesn’t take long to discover we as parents need all the help we can get. But an interesting transition occurs [...]
The MomLife Today moms are all at the FamilyLife Staff Conference this week. This is an amazing time for us to meet, connect, and grow with each other. I am so blessed to know these women and to feel God’s love surround me in such a tangible way. Yesterday we were given a wonderful gift in [...]
Getting together with other women over coffee, food, and Bible study is so much fun! For the past two years, I have been going to this Bible study with 15–20 women from my church. It is a great study, and I love the variety in the ages of women there and the wisdom they all have to [...]
