As many of you know, we moved to Kansas City almost a year ago because God said to. No, He didn’t appear in our living room, but there was a tug on both of our hearts to move close to the International House of Prayer and be a part of things that were going on [...]
I learned this week that a picture is worth a thousand words…and millions of views on the internet. My head is still spinning from the response to my blog about late term abortions in America. When I wrote it 72 hours ago, I had NO idea that it was going to spread like a wild [...]
I am undone when I truly contemplate the cross. I am in awe of Jesus, the ONLY man with the power to raise Himself from the dead. I know that many of us have been raised in church listening to this for decades, but have you truly meditated on what the cost was? On how [...]
First of all, I want to say a huge THANK YOU to those of you who emailed me and messaged me to tell me about your pro-life ministry or about your church that has devoted itself to being a presence at the nearest abortion clinic. Many of you have been in the pro-life movement for [...]
This morning I returned to the clinic where I had my abortions 12 years ago to pray for and plead with Mom’s not to make the decision I made so many years ago. As I pulled into a parking spot, I sat in the car for a minute and closed my eyes. I wanted to [...]
I’ve needed to write a blog for a while, but I just haven’t had much to say. That in itself says a lot about the season I am in. 2011 is over. Let’s all breathe a sigh of relief! Among the chaos, though, God has done something in my heart. I’m a little calmer. I [...]
I love winter…time with family during the holidays and sipping cocoa by the fire. Ok, that sounds cliché, but it really is a great time of year. It’s that time when things die in order to come back to life stronger and more mature in the spring, which is an awesome reminder from our loving [...]
A few random thoughts from my recent conversations with God… The Sermon on the Mount in Matthew 5 should be Christianity 101. So, Christians, how are we doing? Are we meek? Merciful? Pure in heart? What are you doing for the next generation? Can you do more? I know I can. I’ve learned that there [...]
Odds are if you spent any amount of time in Sunday School as a child then you’ve read Matthew 5…also known as the Sermon on the Mount or the Beatitudes. Like me, you’ve probably skimmed over them, maybe even highlighted them in your bible, but never really took time to meditate on them. Who even [...]
Since we made our decision to adopt we have gotten mixed reactions. I would say that the most common question is why. Honestly, it’s hard to answer that question without making the other person feel stupid. “Because God said to.” That is always met with a myriad of defensive statements. Do I think that EVERYONE [...]
