On Turning 40

Earlier this week, my Facebook status was, “I turn 40 this week. And that’s all I have to say about that.”

A reply from someone was, “It’s better than the alternative.”

Well said, friend. I even found a t-shirt that expresses that very sentiment for me perfectly.

The Plain Purple Balls

When I left Kaylee’s dad, I moved on December 15th. One might wonder why I moved out of my house the week before Christmas when we had a 4-year-old.

Johnathan turned three in May. As I post this, it’s August 12th, and we finally see an end.

The Power of a Praying Wife: Chapter 23 – His Walk

There was a time in my life when I would have defined “your walk” specifically in terms of how you walk with God. As in, do you go to church? Do you give a tithe? Do you pray before meals?

I looked up the dictionary definition of “walk” in these terms and this is what I found: 8. to conduct oneself in a particular manner; pursue a particular course of life: to walk humbly with thy god.
