How Can We Open A Connection To God?

I like to read and pray early in the morning. I’ve been known to do some extreme things to warm up my little office next to the kitchen. Sometimes I get out of bed and immediately put on snow pants, or set my space heater to 90 degrees to take the edge off, but my...

Who Are You Neglecting In the Hustle?

My grandma sent me a letter every week from the moment I went to college to the moment she was physically unable to do so. Twelve years of weekly letters. Amazing. As an 18, 19, 20-year old, I took that for granted. Yes, I appreciated it, but now as a busy momma, the...

May Your Labor Take Root

After a summer filled with...summer, “neglected” was a good way to describe the cabin landscaping. I crawled through the beds pulling baby cotton trees one by one. There were hundreds, and they were difficult to pull up because they had been growing for a while. The...

Turning Belief Into Faith
