This is How I Want to Celebrate Mother’s Day!

MP910220988

I was 27 years old.  The room was freshly painted.  The crib set up. Clothes neatly folded. Anticipation.  Waiting.

10Habits

Yesterday, Jenae shared with us about the times she has felt like a failure as a mom. Judging by the response, that message resonated with a lot of moms (I know it resonated with me!).  And maybe it’s the ‘red car’ effect (you buy a red car and start seeing red cars everywhere you turn), [...]

Christmas is About Jesus

Christmas is about Jesus. The Son, the only Son of God. The Word in the beginning. Creator of all things. The Lamb, the image of the invisible God. In Him all the fullness of deity dwells. In Him all things hold together. He is the same yesterday, today, and forever. In all things made like [...]

What’s Wrong About Easter?

MP900435912

Something feels a little uncomfortable about Easter to me. For starters, it’s not about a sweet, soft, cuddly newborn baby, like Christmas. Babies are likeable. Our hearts are pulled to them, to their innocence, and to their need of our care. The Christmas story is easy to love with the happy, healthy birth, the visitation [...]
