Our 30th anniversary didn’t turn out the way we planned. Kind of like our thirty-year marriage. We had to cancel the trip we’ve been dreaming about and settle for our ordinary life instead. As I watched you play basketball with our sons in the driveway last night, ending our day-long anniversary celebration, I realized our […]

In the middle of a big storm, our young nectarines bloomed. I walked out into the orchard because I couldn’t believe my eyes. “What are you doing?” I asked the confused little trees. “The weather is terrible. Why are you opening your blossoms?” I know it’s weird to talk to trees, but Jesus spoke to […]

I know some of you are wondering when my new book: Farming Grace will hit Amazon. The truth is, I don’t know. We were all set to release it this month when an email landed in my inbox that completely surprised me. A year ago, I queried my dream literary agent. After a little back and […]

Yesterday, I was shopping at American Eagle Outfitters. I don’t shop very often, but when big sales are running, you can find me at this store. A tan, flannel shirt in the men’s section caught my eye. I walked over and felt the fabric. When I touched the soft shirtsleeve, a memory hit me that […]

I am starting the new year by attending four funerals. Each day, I’ve been grieving. Four good dads. Four beloved husbands. Men dearly loved by their family and friends. None of these deaths were connected and yet I know at each funeral I will probably see people from the last funeral. My heart has been […]

Growing up, I loved listening to the radio broadcaster, Paul Harvey. For years my big brother, Patrick would sometimes call me Paul Harvey because I liked telling stories too. I don’t know if Paul Harvey originally told this tale of the Christmas birds, but I think I heard it from him. I can’t remember the […]

For the first time in nearly three decades of raising kids, taking our Christmas picture this year was relatively painless. The boys are old enough to behave themselves. Except for the seven-year-old who ran back to the house and changed his shirt because he didn’t like the black one I had him put on. Christian’s […]

Aaron Rodgers donated a million dollars to the Camp Fire survivors but did not call his mom to make sure she was okay. Perhaps while packing up to evacuate the fire, Aaron’s mom was hoping to hear from her son. She’s reached out to him numerous times in the past several years, but he’s never reached […]

It’s been two months since I’ve written a blog post. Sorry about that. I’ve become a true football mom, spending all my Saturdays at Cruz, Garry and Joey’s football games. And Friday nights at John’s JV game. And Thursday nights at Scott’s freshman football games since Scott became the defensive coordinator for that team this […]
