Have you ever listened to someone bad-mouthing their significant other? Behind their back or even right in front of them? Have you ever bad-mouthed a loved one, or really anyone for that matter? I am guilty of this. Before I got my life on track, I allowed others to talk horribly about my family, and…

Have you ever said or done something that hurt someone else, and refused to apologize even when you knew you were in the wrong? I’m guilty of that. For some reason it’s far easier to be prideful, than it is to practice humility and tell someone that you’re sorry, and you were wrong. Pride is…

Cooking is a passion of mine. I love finding new recipes, and making intricate meals from scratch. I’m a recipe follower, so when a dish comes out amazing, I’m thrilled, but not boastful. I find cooking humbling. It’s a lot of work, and requires a lot of patience. However, I have an acquaintance that is…

Envy is such an ugly emotion, and one I know very well. When my late husband died, I felt envious of all the happy couples around me. Not only was I widowed, but also infertile, so I was especially envious of the happy couples with children. I allowed envy to consume me, and I was…

Kindness is something that I find much easier to give than patience. I love helping people, and making their loads a little lighter.

Patience is not my virtue. My instincts are to blow up and drop f-bombs instead of remaining calm, and showing someone even just a bit of patience. When I got together with my husband, I wanted to treat him better than I treated my past boyfriends, and even (I’m ashamed to say) my family. So,…

Love is more than just a wonderful feeling and emotion. It’s so much more than butterflies in your stomach, goosebumps all over your body, and that twitterpated look on your face. Love is work. I’ve decided to do a series on love, using 1 Corinthians 13 as my guide. This will be all about what…

Harrison Butker delivered a commencement speech recently, as I’m sure you’ve all heard, and I finally listened to it. Did you? I had heard him called a misogynist, a racist, a white supremacist, and more. People have been dragging this man’s name through the mud, and until today, I’d only heard the same little snippet…

Many years ago I remember being blissfully happy as a newlywed. Still very much in the honeymoon phase, planning our future together. We were talking about our future children, their names, and future homes. One minute I’m daydreaming about our future, and the next minute two military officers are knocking on my door. My husband…

Happy Mother’s Day to all of the moms out there, but most especially to mine. My mother had her hands full with me. I took her for granted, and said some truly awful things to her, that she never deserved. Never did she reciprocate the venomous words I yelled, never did she show me anything…
