God in the Details: Even in the Heat
A Hot Day and a Busy Start It was a really hot day. We had several things to do and a lot of driving. Before we began our day, I finished walking Casey in my walking shoes (slip on Skechers, so wonderful) and hopped in the car. I thought I…
Why I Prayed About Facebook (and What God Whispered Back)

Prayer and Cursive Writing – What’s the Connection?
What do prayer and cursive writing have to do with each other? I am excited to share that connection with you! I have been writing out my prayers for years. Why? Because if I don’t, my mind wanders, my prayers just float off somewhere, and I simply don’t finish. Writing…

Devotions are like a Date Night with God
Devotions and date night? That’s an interesting comparison. When I was a young mom, my husband and I used to have date nights. It would be an evening where we would get a babysitter and set time apart for each other. That time would be used to just be together,…
Noah – One of my Favourite Bible Characters
What’s not to love? The colours! The smiles! The rainbow! There are lots of reasons why Noah is one of my favourite characters. First of all, he was a good guy. In Genesis 6 God is lamenting the evil in the world. “But Noah found favour in the eyes of…
