The Story that Changed my Life

My first Bible was a purple Precious Moments Bible.  I loved it and I loved that my name was written on the inside. I grew up listening to Psalty sing praise songs and Adventures in Odyssey play on the radio on Saturday mornings. But I was an adult before I learned the true story of…

Third World Symphony and an interview with Shaun Groves

I was honored to interview Shaun Groves {he allowed three questions} to help spread the word about his new release, Third World Symphony. I found Shaun’s blog when some of the bloggers I read regularly traveled to Kenya with Compassion International last year. Shaun is an award winning singer and songwriter and recently released a…

Writing an ebook and loving it

I have had two ebook manuscripts sitting in my documents for several months. Fear has kept me from publishing them. That and not knowing what the heck am I doing!  I was thrilled when Sarah Mae, co-founder of the Relevant Conference {a life changing weekend for me last October} and author of one of my…

Ministry through Music

I love to sing.  Music is one of the fastest ways God connects to my soul.  It speaks to me.  Listening to the lyrics of a song are as important to me as the musical structure… and that is why I love this new CD, by Ginger Millermon, called Rescued that I had the opportunity to…

The B-I-B-L-E

I remember my first Bible.  It was a purple Precious Moments Bible with my name on it that someone {maybe a relative?} gave me when I was around eight.  I treasured that Bible but can’t say that I read it much or understood what I did read. Thankfully, my kids have grown up in an…

Yoursphere- Keeping Kids safe online

As a Yoursphere Test Drive mom, my boys and I have spent some time this week becoming familiar with the website and all it offers.  The registration process was fairly simple.  I did have to give my social security number which was a little off putting.  The dashboard for parents is great. Comparing it to…

Jennifer Shaw- Christian Music Artist

I love music. According to my grandmother and mom, I always have.  I would say “put the do-do on” at a very young age (calling music “do-do” because those who loved on me would dance around singing “do-do-do-do”, etc…it didn’t take much to make me happy ) I took flute, piano and voice lessons as…

Thanks a Million

I mostly rely on homemade foods to feed my (always ravenously hungry) crew of guys.  But, as we all know there are days that between basketball practice, church activities and doctors appointments a home cooked meal is just not in the cards.  Rather than spend extra money on fast food in these instances, I often…

Organized Grocery Shopping

Image via CrunchBase With all our talk of organizing our finances in January, I turned to my favorite organizing program to get my shopping list under control.  When you use coupons, pair them up with circular ad sales and are shopping for hungry tween/teen boys, groceries can be a lot to keep track of. Cozi…

Dentyne Review

You all are going to start thinking I have a thing for gum…it’s not me, it’s my boys.  Every, and I do mean EVERY, time I go to the store they are trying to sneak a pack of the newest “coolest” gum into the cart.  My basketball player teen swears chewing gum increases his concentration. …
