“Love your enemies.”-Matthew 5:44(NIV) Clearly, Jesus was not talking about me. His audience must have been the “thousands of years ago brutal mob who was known to occasionally throw stones and needed some serious behavioral modification.” Not me. I don’t have any enemies! At least, I don’t think so… I’m a suburban housewife with four…
Life’s Uncertainties “Did you apply for the job we talked about?” I text my son at college. This is not the first time we’ve had this “conversation.” He’s in his second semester and still hasn’t found a job, for reasons that elude me. I pray fervently for a job for him – any job. Or…

We need a lot of things in this life. That is not a secret. Let’s be honest. We have needs. Personally, I think women have more needs than men. LOL, but that is for another discussion. However, not every need will be met. And because of that, we don’t always understand why. A lot of…
Housekeeping is not my forte. It never has been. I have friends who are household rock stars. They are the perfect embodiment of the Proverbs 31 woman. But I am not that woman. Back when I was a single mom with just one child, I could keep up pretty good… most of the time. Let’s…
