The Best Friendship Ever
God can be your friend. Ugh. If you told me that a year ago, I would have agreed with you...of course I agree with that. It sounds like something I would have repeated in Sunday School. But what does it mean? To me, “I am a friend of God,” meant we were on friendly...
Fire Up Some Friendships
I still have no friends. With social media and busy schedules, our lives can be full of people...but a barren wasteland when it comes to friendship. We have plenty of people who heart pictures of our kids and awards and comment on how old they are getting, but how...
Cooler Corn
So this is seriously the "cooler" way to make corn. Ha! Okay, enough "corny" puns. Well, that was one more. (My father-in-law is going to love reading that 🙂 ) Anyway, summer and corn on the cob just go together! But, making it for big gatherings is a little...

My Top Five Friends
Who are your five closest friends? In Divine Direction, Craig Groeschel encourages us to consider that, making the point that we will become the average of the people around us. Isn’t it true? There are friends who cause me to rise up, others who cause me to step out....
