Five Things I Learned At the Dentist

May 16 2013

Yesterday, I took my kids to the dentist (cue sinister music). It actually started out fine. The dental assistant escorted each child back one by one. When the last one was called, the assistant turned to me, smiled and said, “You can stay in here, Mom. It’s okay. Relax.” Who knew the dentist’s office could provide a little “me” time? I began to sip my coffee and scroll through my phone, taking deep breaths of freedom. But then the vibe changed.

I Want To Be Bathsheba

May 14 2013

I grabbed this Magazine on the way to the beach. I love the latest trends and when the cover says, “Must-haves,” I’m instantly convinced.

He put his arm around him, brother to brother on the field, and made an enormous statement to a packed out stadium of racial tension. Pee Wee’s family was in the crowd that day.

Morsels From a Marathon

Apr 28 2013

I am not a fitness guru or a sports enthusiast. My love for exercise comes from a strong need to exhale. I find that, next to Jesus, exercise keeps me sane. I am a Christ-follower and I often find He reveals Himself to me in ordinary ways. Yesterday, I completed my fifth half-marathon. Maybe that’s not ordinary, but now I’m just bragging. It was right around mile marker eight that I decided this marathon idea was no longer fun. I’d just demolished a nasty 1.
