Family Fume: Speaking in Love
One spring day, I sat in my backyard with my friend Suzy and our kids. While we relaxed in lawn chairs, sipping lemonade, a few of the children played on the swing set.

God’s Divine Protection
I was amazed. My daughter didn’t fall once; she fell two times, nearly unscathed. In both instances, she rounded a turn on her bike and skidded out.

She escaped, nearly untouched… “For in the day of trouble he will keep me safe in his dwelling; he will hide me in the shelter of his sacred tent and set me high upon a…

Am I Good Enough?
That I would be good if I didn’t encourage everyone… That I would be good if I didn’t raise my hand to serve… That I would be good if I had nothing to say… That I would be good if I was sick for the rest of my life… That I would be good if I didn’t say wise things… That I would be good if I was never seen… That I would be good if I didn’t get everything right… That I would be good if, aside from doing things or being things for you, I was still loved. The most basic desire is to know: we are still…

Be You… Be Imperfect
For so long I lived my life in the tension of two extremes. How can I serve more? Pour your unending love on your husband and children. When you’re tired, lean in and give more.
