Surprise Friendships
“Many a man proclaims his own steadfast love, but a faithful friend who can find?” Proverbs 20:6, ESV (emphasis and word change are mine) I haven’t talked about it in a while, so I’ll reset my life story briefly: my dad was in the Army from 8 months before I was born until well after…

Keep An Eye Out
This one’s for you, Bekki. 😉 As I was trying to go to sleep tonight, I turned on my go-to “sleeping music,” K-Love 90s. A song came on that was big around the time we lived in Washington State, and it caused me to go through the whole timeline of what happened in the world…

Blimey Camp 2024, Pt. 2
This is part 2 of 3 about my Blimey Camp experience last weekend. This is going to be the longest blog since this was the only full day of Blimey Camp. Yesterday, we left off with a question: did the Lord wake me up in the morning? What time? The answers to those questions are:…

Finishing Well

This was my second time…

Endings Bring New Beginnings
This weekend I am on the last Christmas/New Year’s, help-people-with-their-dogs adventure for at least two weeks. I promise I really did quit dog-sitting as a business. Last year Erica would wonder how much “quitting” was actually had… Speaking of Last Year Erica… I was thinking about a year ago today. I remember how tired and…

Bringing Joy (Or, How To Survive At A Higher Altitude)
This weekend I’m in Woodland Park, Colorado, at a women’s conference. Today is the last day, but now that I’m mostly over the altitude sickness, I decided to get a coffee at the beginning of the day. And then I wasn’t allowed in the auditorium because the cup doesn’t have a spill-proof lid. Whoops. So…
