How would you describe your marriage relationship? Perhaps it wouldn’t be appropriate to answer that out loud. Maybe you’d jump right on it with excitement. If your response, however, is anything less than growing and growing together, keep reading. Your marriage may need a playlist and for sure, a game plan. The thought of a … Continue reading A Playlist and A Game Plan
After what seems like a long season of healing—our God is faithful, merciful and good—I am, by His grace, ready and might I say, quite eager, to start sharing my life again. Here I am, Lord, send me! There is a declaration deep in my soul that has come out of this season . . … Continue reading Seek the Kingdom. Watch with Jesus.

The Women in White. The comments have inundated my social media feed since the State of the Union Address in January. About the women in white.
