When Barry and I came to California to interview for the ministry position at our current church, we fell in love with everyone and everything immediately. We realized within hours of our arrival that we were home. During that weekend we engaged in a number of conversations with the elders and pastors, church leaders and youth. [...]

Truth Without Walls
Lately I've been doing a lot of thinking about my blog. As some of you know I started a page on my blog titled My Story. It recalls the time that Barry and I spent on a church staff years ago. That was a very difficult time in our life, marriage and ministry. We whole heartedly [...]
I Know Him
We were the only ones in the waiting room. It was quiet, and somewhat cozy. Pictures lined the walls, countless success stories all captured on film. Some of them cute, and others...well...not so cute. Barry leaned over and whispered in my ear " Are you sure this is legit, I mean there is really no way [...]
Renewing My Mind
Have you ever had to take inventory of your life? Ugh, it's such a pain in the butt. I know none of us are perfect, and it certainly makes it difficult when we begin the process of sifting through old habits, hurts, mentalities and actions. It seems like all the bad stuff just suddenly emerges [...]

Heartache to Healing
Update: The My Story Page is no longer password protected. Thanks - Jana Over the last week, I've corresponded with a number of people regarding a new page on my blog. It's titled My Story... To be perfectly honest it should be called Our Story because so many people I know can relate. I wish [...]
A Transparent Life (part 3)
What is correction, how should Christians handle it and why is it needed? I've pondered all of these questions through the years. I've flourished because of a gentle and timely correction and as you may have read in my last post...I've withered as the result of harsh words spoken in an untimely manner. So, how [...]
A Transparent Life (part 1)
I grew up telling on myself. If I did something wrong and I felt guilty...I couldn't keep it a secret for very long. But, if I did something that someone else thought was incorrect and I didn't agree...well then, too bad for everyone involved. I wasn't going to budge, much less offer up an apology. Not until [...]
