A Hard Truth
Most of us want others to be honest with us in all situations. At least that is what we say. What about when the truth is hard? Life-changing? Some truths are easier to hear and accept than others.

I see, and love posts reminding families to get back to the dinner table. I need this reminder from time to time. It is to be a place a place of physical nourishment, fellowship, laughter, and memories. Families need this time of intentional connection. Too many of us are just doing our own thing, living… Continue reading Don’t Worship the Wrong Table
Who Said it Wouldn’t be Hard?
Too often we hope for the blessings and mountaintops of Christianity and choose to despise the valleys. Valleys are often dark, lonely, cool, damp, uncomfortable, and there’s only one way out: through it. The valleys are not something we would ever ask or hope for. But, as you’ll learn, we can’t live without them. Sadly,… Continue reading Who Said it Wouldn’t be Hard?
