Christmas is less than a week away, and I envy anyone that already has their to-do list completed. If you are like me, you have over committed yourself to a never ending to-do list and are scrambling to get it all done. It is so easy for our joy to be robbed during this important …
What does Christmas look like to you? Does it include a never-ending “to-do list”? Too often Christmas becomes a time when we overcommit ourselves and forget the promises God gave in Scripture.
After a long and brutal election year, it is finally over. But for many people the wounds are still fresh and left wide open after a long hard fight from both parties. Over the course of this election year families, friendships, and churches were divided. It is evident by the popular vote, this country is …
As Americans, we have been watching the ongoing moral decay of our country’s foundation for years. Through the current political cycle, it seems like this process has accelerated even more quickly.
Its Memorial Day weekend and I know my social media will be flooded with pictures of people having a BBQ, sitting poolside, shopping sales, and using the caption, “Happy Memorial Day.” Although, it is ok to be enjoying the ones we love this weekend and have fun, its important we do not forget what this day represents …
The past year and half has been a time of uncertainty and transition for Corey and me. As his NFL career has slowly come to and end, I have been sad to let go of the life we’ve known and have feared the unknown future. Even though I have a hard working and smart husband …

Do you ever think about how Mary must have felt after the angel Gabriel appeared to her? She was a virgin and promised in marriage, but Gabriel told her she would become pregnant and give birth to God’s son. We cannot imagine the fear that probably swept over her. How lonely she must have felt, …
The older I get the more I enjoy and have a greater understanding of my grandmother, Ruth Bell Graham’s, poems. Through her writings, I feel she is still teaching me a greater biblical understanding on life, on motherhood, as a wife, and as a child of God. I cherish her poetry more and more as I …
It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas! Well, not really, it is still 90 degrees here in Florida, but I can pretend. However, it is National Collection Week for Operation Christmas Child! So, start packing your boxes and find local drop-off locations near you! (Can you tell what Margaret’s favorite part of the box was?)
In honor of Veterans day, I wanted to share with you a little family treasure. Last week, my sister-in-law sent me my niece’s school assignment. Tears streamed down my face.
