A Brush With Death
February 12, 2010
As I lay in bed, I instinctively, lovingly, rested my hand on my pregnant belly. Little did I know as I felt the kicking of my unborn baby that in just a few short minutes my life would be changed forever.
The time was getting nearer for our baby to be born. I had been having contractions all day. I figured our baby would be born that night or the next day when I went to my scheduled appointment. Read more
The Plans I Have For You

She came to me – with that look on her face. I had known her for 21 years. I knew her looks. She was nervous, scared, and needed “to talk.” A list of possibilities ran through my mind. I suggested we go for a drive. There is something safe about driving around in the car talking. No interruptions. No distractions. Just she and I together in the car. We sat in the car for a moment. I turned to look at her. A tear fell down her cheek. The look in her eyes was that of fear, excitement, nervousness, and disappointment. I don’t remember the exact words we exchanged that night. But I know I had to pull the words out of her. I reassured her that nothing is insurmountable. Read more

I’m not a fan of rap, but I know a good message when I hear one.
It’s now got me talking in rhyme, but not reason.
It’s worse than reading Doctor Suess to my kids.
I spent too much time, watching their vids.
And now I must let you go cuz I’ve got work to do.
So, peace out, and I hope you enjoy the vid too.

From my book, I”m Going to be the Greatest Mom Ever…Even if it Kills Me! ©2001 and ©2006 Multnomah Publishers
Have you ever secretly identified with the women who just “up and leave” their families, who are gone without a trace? When people say, “How could a mom ever do such a thing?” have you ever thought to yourself, I wonder if that will be my story on the news someday? Read more
The Man Upstairs
January 27, 2009
I was listening to a radio broadcast today which was raising money for Cook’s Children’s Hospital. They were interviewing a mom who was going through a difficult ordeal with her child. My heart went out to her in a powerful way. My comments are not in any way to be construed negatively toward her. I think she was surprised by a microphone in her face asking questions. She made this comment, “The man upstairs doesn’t give us more than we can take or put more on our plate.” Read more
