Most moms assume a call from the school means they have a sick child that needs to come home. I assume one of my kids has said or done something that the teachers found too hilarious to wait until pick-up line to tell me. They almost always start the conversation the same way: “You’ll never [...]

Love Your Heart: A Book Review
Thomas Nelson Publishers sent me a free copy of Tim McGraw’s (yes, that Tim McGraw!) and Tom Douglas’s latest book Love Your Heart. I know a six-year-old story lover who was gracious enough to allow me to interview her on her thoughts about the book. In case you didn’t get all that Vanna our sweet [...]

Finding My Thinky Place
I’ve started three different posts on three different subjects but my thoughts are just in big knots tonight and I can’t untangle the mess. A sweet friend sent me a one-sentence email Monday that said “Let’s take a few days and go hide somewhere and read, write, talk, cry . . .” And I’d add [...]

Snow Day in the South
We don’t get many snow days where I live, but last Friday, we had snow. Before 10 a.m. we had created a multitude of heavenly hosts (aka snow angels) and an androgynous snow person. No one could decide whether we’d made a snow”he” or a snow”she.” I took pictures. Want to see? Sometimes I fancy [...]

Love & War: A Book Review
I love books. I love free. I love to talk. Some publishing companies need people to read and review their books. They send me free books, I read them, and then tell you what I thought on my blog. It’s a win-win situation for everyone! When WaterBrook Multnomah offered me the chance to read Love [...]

Who WHAT?!
I think most of you know that I live in Louisiana, which is, as of last night, the home of the Super Bowl 44 champion team, the New Orleans Saints. WOO HOOO!!!! WHO DAT, INDEED!! I didn’t grow up a Saints fan. I didn’t even grow up in Louisiana, but I’ve lived here longer than [...]

Lies, S3x, Murder, and Love Triangles….Also Known as the Book of Genesis
There’s a very good reason children’s Bible story books leave out some stuff. If they included everything, they’d have to come with a warning label. I think when our kids start reading for the Bible for themselves, I’m going to suggest they start with John and not Genesis….at least until they’re a little older. I [...]
