I remember the day my brother first mentioned a girl named Hannah. They’d gone out that evening and he and I were chatting afterward. Sean and I had always been close and as a protective and slightly jealous little sister, I’d always worried that Sean might marry someone I didn’t know or didn’t like. AndContinueContinue reading “She Created Culture: A Beauty AND A Beast”

She Created Culture: My College Roomie
As you might already know, my parents moved from Mississippi to Montana to church plant when I was 18. Well, with my parents heading cross country, I was moving out and in need of a roommate. But you see… although it’s quite common for 18 year olds to be off on their own and livingContinueContinue reading “She Created Culture: My College Roomie”
My Apologies, Friends
I received an e-mail from a friend the other day. A friend who has often encouraged me to keep writing and striving to show grace… to point people to the Gospel and to God’s Word. Whether I agree with them or not… whether they’re “conservative” or “liberal”, red or blue, right wing or left wing.ContinueContinue reading “My Apologies, Friends”
An Open Letter Of Thanks
A letter to the truckers and everyone there with you… Thank you. Thank you for what you’re doing.

She Created Culture: Rainbows, Unicorns, and Monster Cookies
“Do you like being a mom?” My six year old comes up with the best questions. I knew my answer, of course, but I wanted to ask Ryan a question first. “Ummmm… well, do YOU THINK I like being a mom?” “Yeah!” came his quick and confident reply. I was honestly a little relieved. See,ContinueContinue reading “She Created Culture: Rainbows, Unicorns, and Monster Cookies”
She Created Culture: The Beauty Of An Open Door
“Where did you get your ideas for designing your living room?” my soon to be married friend asked me from across our dinner table. “I’m trying to collect some ideas!” The question caught me by surprise. It’s not a question I’d often been asked. I’m not the best at knowing what’s “in” or updating myContinueContinue reading “She Created Culture: The Beauty Of An Open Door”
She Created Culture: Sleepovers, Biscuits and Chocolate Gravy
Most everyone called her Granny. That’s who Linda Pirkle was and probably still is to most kids and even some of the adults where I attended church as a child. She went by Granny, but she wasn’t old by any means. I’m not sure if she was much beyond her 50’s. She had tanned skinContinueContinue reading “She Created Culture: Sleepovers, Biscuits and Chocolate Gravy”
Women Creating Culture: A Series Of True Stories
“Mom! Tell us stories about when you were a kid!” The eyes of my six year old son were bright with expectation as he took another bite of his applesauce and waited. I paused for a moment to think. “What?” he asked. “Do you just not remember or something?!” “No, I remember,” I replied, “IContinueContinue reading “Women Creating Culture: A Series Of True Stories”

CNN Reports: “It’s Better To Cancel Now And Celebrate Later.”
The headline read,” ‘An event canceled is better than a life canceled,’ WHO chief warns ahead of holiday season.” World Health Organization Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus went on to say, “It’s better to cancel now and celebrate later, than to celebrate now and grieve later.” I understand the sentiment and I know what he meantContinueContinue reading “CNN Reports: “It’s Better To Cancel Now And Celebrate Later.””
