The IDEA of sleep is a beautiful thing, but it actually happening is a completely different story. You have too much on your mind, the temperature's off, work went a little longer than expected--these and more are just a few reasons why you and I probably struggle...
I got a chance to see the movie God's Not Dead during its opening weekend. It was powerful, poignant and convicting. The movie centers on an atheist philosophy professor who tells his students if they write "God is Dead" on a piece of paper and sign their name, they...
Okay, I've had this question a lot lately! "Where did you go?" I've been off the air here at KVNE for a couple of weeks so I do understand the question. Here's the answer. First, I went to Las Vegas to be part of a Sharathon (it's like a Praise Share) It's something...
You hear that? It's a mix of cheers from runners and power-walkers everywhere...with a hint of screams from those who can't STAND exercising. With the weather warming up more and more each day here in East TX, the one's who've been avoiding exercise behind the "It's...
I was driving to work the other day - I drive 70 miles one way - and I noted a milestone on my speedometer. It rolled to 130,000 miles. Seven thousand miles since November. I've gotten good at the drive. God has taught me patience. Over and over. After four months of...
Ever had one of those mom mornings that you have to vent about with another mom? Someone who gets where you're coming from? Chores left undone. Waking kids up for the 5th time then rushing to work because you ended up doing their chore for them? Motherhood is not...
Kirsten got an unexpected blessing after her breakfast out with a group of friends. She thought her party might have disrupted a quiet couple dining near them, so she picked up their tab. Well, her pay it forward gesture did more than possibly ease a financial burden....
The day just draaaaaged on for you. The last thing you want to do is spend even 20 minutes in front of a stove trying to cook dinner, even though the next-door neighbors probably can hear your stomach grumbling over their TV. Well, a man by the name of Percy Spencer...
You've reached the point in the Spring Break week where "things to do" have run out, and the words, "I'm bored" are just on the edge of the children's lips!! No need to hyperventilate, because a book may be in y'alls near future. I know, I know, I have my nerd...
It seems to be the least-liked day of the week: Monday! Now, you may be the minority of the crowd and actually look forward to Mondays, every week. But it seems that the overwhelming feeling about the day can best be expressed by a big groan, with a hint of, "really?"...
I've been in Tyler now for about a month. It's a great town and everyone has been so friendly. The experience, however, hasn't always been easy-- For me, or for Tyler! I've already met three of Tyler's finest. First, for listening to my GPS and turning onto a One...

When it comes to a good deal, I do my VERY best to try to get to it. Today proved to be a fail in that department. Lunch time came, and seeing that my sweet 7th grade lady from Wyldlife and her friends had the day off, the idea of lunch out was tossed around. If I...

Some have said that working out, just like other routines in life, can become easier and easier to do as time goes on. I'll be honest, I never bought into this thought. It's exercising: I'll be sore for days, tired, and let's face it, an excuse will come up that'll...
They're warm, gooey, and I have to control myself in eating just one: Cupcakes! For my personal obsession to them, I have to really thank mi amiga Ashton, who actually has a bigger love for the my-size cakes that create a buzz. And it wasn't until I moved to...
Right under Jesus, Me, and his family, the hubby could probably spend every day talking to Dave Ramsey. I promise you, Nathan's not a crying guy, but I have a feeling he would probably shed a tear of joy if he met the man! And yes, I would at least take a mental...
They go and they come, back and forth, on the same bus with the same kids. It's the everyday school routine that, if you put yourself in their shoes, would feel as monotonous as it sounds like. You wouldn't think the same-day routine would get old for your kids, but...
One of the things I'm trying to learn in my new place in life is that you cannot reach out and take the gifts God is trying to give you if you are clutching all of the old stuff YOU think you should have or need. You want to be open to what God may be offering you,...
You've been a running machine for the last 30 minutes, and for 30 minutes everyday the last few weeks. But what you've been seeing is that your clothes are fitting tighter than ever, "tired" is your common feeling most days. Have you taken a look at what you're...
Cookies, candy, a few tummy aches, and maybe, just maybe, some pancakes in the morning. It's a moment of childhood that almost every person has experienced once: a slumber party (or for guys, a "sleep over"). Whether you went to only one, or every weekend your parents...
