Interesting you would ask me this, as others have asked me this question, too, and I suppose it is because I no longer pretend to believe that Christianity is the only way to know God. Yet, as far as my own faith journey is concerned, I regard myself as more Christian today than I’ve ever been...

It would seem that the majority of our society has forgotten how to be patient. A little patience can go a very long way. Unfortunately we continue to evolve into a high-blood-pressure-pill-needing species that knows only one language. Hurry up!
Why? Why "hurry up?" What are we...

Okay, picture this, I am sitting at the breakfast table this morning, about to put some blackberry jam on top of a toasted homemade scone and hubby says to me, I had this amazing dream last night about funnel shapes, tornadoes whizzing across the sky in a place that looked like Kansas. I drop my...

For many parents, September means one thing: it's back to school time! And that single realization can bristle, stress out and frustrate even the most organized parents. Some even sink into a temporary depression--the "Back to School Blues".
