Flesh and blood.
Nobody wants to be in the middle of a battle. At least, nobody who has experienced war wants to experience it again. And yet, here we are, in this love story set in the middle of a battlefield. Sometimes we can lose sight of the fight for a little while, and that feels pretty amazing, Continue reading

27,000 days
Well, last night I had a new experience. I can’t say that it was a particularly enjoyable one, or one that I am overly proud of. Somehow, I managed to have my foot slip out from under me while I went down the stairs last night. I very quickly toppled to my knees before skidding Continue reading

The battle is raging.
Sometimes it’s easy to forget that we live in a world at war. The little things that we struggle with every day, the little jobs, the doldrums take all of our energy and we wonder why we are so very sapped. It isn’t a war on the surface. It isn’t a war that we can Continue reading

Resolutions and such
I have always been adamantly against resolutions. Growing up, I watched people make them and never keep them. ” I’m going to quit smoking.” No, you’re not. If you were really serious you’d have quit in July and not waited for January. Gyms are chock full of new recruits, and I am guessing that the Continue reading

Mama like Jesus
Over my almost 16 years as a mother, I have had the privilege of reading many parenting books. I always opt for Christ centered books, and there are a wide variety that all offer something really, truly helpful. The classic, “What the Bible says about Child Training,” by J Richard Fugate, was probably the first Continue reading

The #tradwife trend.
I have been hearing so much about the #tradwife trend recently. It peaked my attention, as a Christian stay at home mom and wife. Now, as with any trend, there are some pitfalls in this movement. But there is real beauty to it too, and it is riling up the enemy in a big way. Continue reading

The Era of the DINK.
Have you heard of the new phenomenon known as “DINKS?” It stands for Dual Income No Kids, and it stands for people who choose not to have kids, ever. Now. I understand that everyone has a right to choose their path in life, and maybe there are some people who were truly not cut out Continue reading

Lessons from the roundpen
Well, I have made it home from the lodge! My husband did very well at trying to keep everything together at home, but I missed keeping this little farm running like a well oiled machine. I am thrilled that I get to work with my horses and babies (young horses) again, and even more excited Continue reading

I’m not a good Christian.
I think that sometimes we have become a little bit mixed up about what a Christian is. We think we are “bad Christians,” or “good Christians” based on how shiny we appear to everyone around us. “Oh I have never been drunk, I saved sex for marriage, yada yada.” We get so focused on this Continue reading

Redemption
I woke up in the dark, covered in mud. How did I get here? I stood up, panicking, my feet stuck to the ankle in rancid smelling muck. I could hear the foul suction of it as I moved, trying to keep my feet right where they were. I needed to get out of there. Continue reading
