Yesterday, I had the privilege of presenting the new video, “joyful REUNION” in chapel at Charis Bible College. The response was more then I could have hoped for. So many people stopped me in the halls to tell me how much it ministered to them and set them free. Not just in regard to abortion, [...]

“Have fun,” I said with a smile as my son got out of the car for football practice. He’s a freshman in high school this year so my heart is a bit sad as I realize my little boy isn’t little any more. This summer he grew taller than me and now I have to [...]
During a recent vacation I had a great moment with our son I want to share. I went to work out while my husband took all three kids to the racquetball court. When I finished, I joined them at the court and sat down to watch. I noticed our 14 year old son getting really [...]
Yesterday I had the privilege of attending a premier of the new movie, “Courageous,” produced by Provident Films, the creators of “Fireproof.” I read some of the promotional material before viewing the movie but I must say that it exceeded my expectations.

One Saturday afternoon, all five of our grand boys were playing together in the basement. As they rough housed, one egging on the other, the decibel level continued to increase exponentially. To retain my sanity, I soon suggested they go outside and run off some of that energy. As they headed for the door I [...]
A grandfather was recently preparing pancakes for his three grandchildren on a Saturday morning after a sleep-over. They all watched intently as this master pancake chef created shapes of animals, cars, and airplanes with the batter. “Grandpa! I want the first one,” said eight year old Michael. Ah ha, thought grandpa, an opportunity to [...]
Ever wonder if God made a mistake when he gave you your unique children? Perhaps when your children were born you were expecting a modest Honda Accord; quiet, smooth, efficient, economical and with little need for extensive maintenance. Instead, you got a couple of 550 horse power muscle cars that are being driven by eleven [...]
What are the two things that parents can never allow to go unchallenged? Here’s a hint; in the Bible the first is compared to witchcraft and the other to idolatry. Figure it out yet? One is rebellion and the other is stubbornness. Either of them can be destructive in the lives of our children, but [...]
