“God Be Merciful”

I’ve never prayed that prayer before in my entire life, but it was the prayer running through my mind this morning.  Something felt different. I slipped on my clothes for the day and came downstairs to start some coffee and it just kept running through my mind. See the plan was a last minute one, [...]

Quick! Somebody Tell Me I’m Crazy!!

It just hit me. Took me totally by surprise. I claim no responsibility. When it just hits you what are you supposed to do? Go down swinging? We were in church for goodness sakes! Now the Lord loves a genuine response, but the other couple of hundred people, well - I had to just sit [...]

They say that vacations are a must and that they need to be a priority. Totally true. I didn’t even realize. Last year we had other priorities, and I wouldn’t have had it any other way.

Honesty Is Always The Best Policy

While I hate traveling - I love coming home. Prayse is so chock full of things to tell me and while bedtime lasts twice as long, I never mind because we have some of the best conversations! As I came home Wednesday night and we were getting ready for bed (late) she just couldn’t stop [...]

We Have Ourselves A Walker

You might be scratching your heads. You might be thinking - “She’s over two and a half years old Tiff- duh you have a walker!” You might even be thinking - “How’d she NOT notice this?”

I’m In Good Company

For some time now I’ve been attempting to be more consistent spending time in the Word - it’s something that wasn’t consistent enough in 2009 but one that I have found to be cherished in 2010. I often need a morning like this, one where I have 20-30 minutes to myself as a wake up [...]
