I love this! Linus is one of the few people who can still get away with quoting scripture to the general public — and it doesn't seem to have diminished in popularity at all through the years! ( :

Most favorite people in the world: James (my husband), Nathan (my son), Abigail (my daughter), Aden (Abigail's husband), *SAM* and *MARY ELLA* (our 2 year old grandson and brand new granddaughter!!!) Mary (my mom), Gilbert (my dad, who now lives in Heaven), and my empty nest dog - Zoe (who has her own hashtag: #ZoeMyDoggy). And...I couldn't leave out my brother (Chris) and his family, my sister (Rebecca) and her family, or my Aunt Bibby - who, by the time I was three, taught me to drink from a china cup, eat shrimp cocktail, and how to shop with "lay away"! She now lives with Jesus, too... but Ill forever be grateful for her presence in my life! Favorite foods: Hazelnut coffee, milk chocolate candy, and chocolate chip cookies (gluten free, these days). Favorite relaxation activities: Reading a Christian historical fiction book in a long bubble bath, after a 2 hour nap on crisp, clean sheets... mmmmm! Favorite Sport: SHOPPING!!! (very similar to hunting, I think)... Favorite shopping find: an 80% off sale, and snagging designer clothing for $3.99 at Goodwill. :-) Most frequently used daily Devotional Book: My Utmost For His Highest (Oswald Chambers), Daily Light, and Valley of Vision (A Collection of Puritian Prayers). Bible Studies that have changed my walk with the Lord: Experiencing God (Henry Blackaby), Living God's Word (Waylen Moore), A Woman's Heart (Beth Moore), and Seeking Him (Nancy Leigh DeMoss Wolgemuth) Favorite Bible Verse... For now: Philippians 2:13 "It is God who gives you both the desire and the power to do what pleases Him."

A letter to this girl {that I wish my own children would read and absorb}

And to her young friend {Gina} who is hiding behind her in a “real” & “original” photo booth, whose pictures actually came out this color ~ As my son and daughter trek their way through adolescence, I can’t help but remember my own junior high and high school life. All in all, I had […]

Saying Goodbye & What a Friend We Have in Jesus

July 14, 2014 By SmellingCoffee

This weekend many friends in our first place of ministry said goodbye to a precious woman not much older than I. Mary Beth had a ruptured aneurism. One moment she was fine, and the next… her family began preparing to release her to Jesus. Mary Beth’s husband was the youth minister and James was the […]

Pressing On in the Climb Through God’s Word – Especially When It’s Hard

April 8, 2016 By SmellingCoffee

Hi everyone! If we are Instagram or Twitter friends, you’ll know that I’ve been on a trip with my mom to visit my sister and her family out in Castle Rock, Colorado. We just got back after being gone for 10 days – and had the sweetest of times. Though it was hard to leave […]

An Encouraging WORD from The Lord

October 20, 2013 By SmellingCoffee

This was yesterday morning’s reading from the Daily Light devotional. {BTW, Daily Light is one of my all-time favorite devo books. EVERY word is straight Scripture; the verses are arranged topically & pieced together to relay one particular Word from The Lord for each morning & each evening. I love it so much. Not long […]
