Well… it happened again. I sat down with the Word this morning, minding my own business, and suddenly—boom—rabbit hole. You know the kind. One minute you’re reading peacefully, the next something grabs your attention like a toddler with sticky hands and suddenly you must know more. Sometimes it’s a distraction;…

I’ve shared this before, but it’s worth saying again: I have a few children who have walked through addiction, who are still walking through addiction, and who are doing time in prison. And for years, I did what moms do—I turned all that pain inward. I blamed myself. I blamed…

Instead of rehashing the usual questions—who Job was, why he suffered, or what God was doing—I want to take a closer look at the people around him. His friends. The ones who showed up, spoke up, and sometimes messed up. Because if I’m honest, I see pieces of myself in…

Well, this might get messy—but come with me on a walk through prayer in my head. Buckle up, it’s a ride. “Good morning, God. (Wait—creamer crisis. I’m here, just slightly under-caffeinated.) Lord, I praise You for all You do—for giving us Your Son, for blessing my life beyond measure. You…
