Totally random question: How many of my friends have ever started a small kitchen fire from heating olive oil on the stove? I’m asking for a friend….Scott didn’t blink, panic or even seem surprised when I called outside “I accidentally started a fire in the kitchen.” He just came inside and started moving flammable things…

I saw this on the back of someone’s car in the parking lot at Target today. I concur, but only if you have common sense, self-control, discipline, and handgun training (and adequate practice time/skills) to go along with that mindset.
I am grateful for friendships that have stood the test of time. It has been a few weeks since my return from Canada, where I spent just over a week with my dearest friend from college. There are lots of conversations, memories and experiences that I will treasure from that trip, but the trip down…
Perspective matters. A LOT. I was recently reminded of this fact when I was bemoaning the busyness in my life; I had been rattling off a long list of commitments (while complaining about each one) to one of my “accountability partners”. (Learn more about my accountability partners here.) Week after week, when I meet with…

Last year, while visiting my oldest sister and her family, I had occasion to drive my oldest nephew back to his dorm at the local university. I don’t see him very often, so I used this opportunity to catch up with him about his life, and listened to his aspirations for his future. It is…
I hold an annual Christmas party every year. In 2015, the party fell on the 12th, and my daughter and I spent the early part of the day running errands and preparing for the party. On the return trip home, I pulled into the parking lot of a church located on the corner of my…
I was not an athletic person growing up. I never went out for sports in school and I think I only took the mandatory 3 semesters of PE in order to graduate high school. I wish I was athletic and outdoorsy, and sometimes I can (sort of) fake it, but in general- I try to…
I like doing laundry- here’s why!
