Soul Fitness: Strengthening Your Core {pre-setting for election day}
Hello Girlfriends, At the very beginning of our COVID quarantine, I made a video devotion asking the question, “Are you a thermometer or a thermostat?” We’ve been through so much since then. Our reaction to such stressful times mattered then and it matters now. So, on the eve of an incredibly volatile election, the question…
Read MoreSoul Fitness: Strengthening Your Core {if the upcoming election is making you crazy}
There have been moments in the past six months when I have felt like I was about to lose my mind. As if a pandemic weren’t enough, we are now in the last month before the 2020 election. To be honest, it’s as if the 2016 election never even ended. Am I the only one…

Happy Sunday, Friends! You know how much I love my ‘outside office’. I’m out here today for a few hours until the heat and humidity drive me inside. I’m enjoying the beautiful morning and thinking of you. The picture of my backyard doesn’t reveal what we know all too well – we are in a…
Read MoreSovereignty and Suffering; Hope for Your Anxious Heart
Hello My Sisters, Since I have a suddenly cleared calendar, I thought I would jump on twice a week or so, to offer hope, encouragement and God’s truth to any who many be struggling with anxiety and worry. I know all too well how, when the ‘what ifs’ appear, fear invades us before we know…
Read MoreIf The March For Life Was Painful
Hello Girlfriends,
Today is The March for Life in Washington D.C. I wrote this post in 2017, and ever since, I’ve re-posted it each year.

If you are such a woman, know that you are not invisible to God – He sees you, knows you and loves you. – Laura
Five Things I’ve Learned in 2019
I don’t know about you, but an ideal New Years Eve for Pat and I is quiet, cozy, and uneventful. This year, we had a fun and early dinner out, then came home to a movie and a relaxing evening. Perfect! Even though I am not much for partying on New Year’s Eve, I…
Read MoreHelp For A Meaningful Advent {and a give-away too!}
Let’s just admit it, we all struggle with keeping Christmas in perspective. The season just seems to sweep us away, propelling us forward into the spinning world of over-commitment, over-spending and over-everything! If you are already over it, or are overwhelmed at even beginning it, I hope what I share in this this video is…

Read MoreA Place In The Circle – Reserved Just For You
One morning this summer, a memory I had long forgotten popped up in my mind. I wonder if God brought it back to remind me of something important. When I was in the 9th grade, I ran with a large group of girlfriends. We had known each other since elementary school. We loved slumber parties,…
