There was one summer when I was teenager when I loved roller coasters. It was on a trip to Holiday World to Santa Claus, Indiana when I rode roller coasters more in two days than I ever will for the rest of my life. I even rode with no hands because that’s the kind ofContinue reading “Contrary to Popular Belief”

Rooted Mondays: In His Wake
I started reading the Psalms when I began studying 1 Samuel. It seemed fitting, to read David’s story while also reading his laments and praises to God from his perspective. This morning I woke up wrought with frustration. My two oldest boys were in the other room yelling loudly while playing with their Legos, andContinue reading “Rooted Mondays: In His Wake”

I loved the song “She Walked Away”. It kind of tells the story of the lost son in Luke 15. It quoted a few versesContinue reading “How to Hear God”
Confessions of a Woman
I gave away my first kiss when I was 16. It was to a boy that I probably should not have kissed. One red flag: he had just had a piece of pizza right before he decided kissing me was a good idea. (Tip: don’t kiss someone after you’ve eaten pizza.) This boy was also youngerContinue reading “Confessions of a Woman”
