These aren’t fun when the answers include numbers, for example I don’t know if your hometown high school was four miles from your house or if it was three, so you’re not correcting a number in any of these. You tell me in the comments which are the two non-truths: 1. Rachelle Ferrell is my […]

Real quick – today, Reese turns fourteen. She’s every bit a Gen Alpha teen – constantly telling me about which clothing items do and don’t match her “aesthetic” while simultaneously taking pieces from the wardrobe of her Gen X Momma. She defies the conventional beauty standard of wearing her hair long – either straight or […]

I keep seeing posts like this on social media: “Remember the people who checked on you and remember the ones who didn’t.“ The implication is that the people who did check actually care about you, and the ones who didn’t – don’t.

It assumes it knows which cards we’re holding – or more importantly, which cards we’re not holding – but all its smack-talking comes to an abrupt halt when either you or your patna (partner) throw down that […]

A few thangs:As you go about the Father’s business today, be sure to include urgent and believing prayer for your under-shepherd. That man has toiled for at least a week about how to guide a room full of people who love him, hate him, or are indifferent toward him. #LetHimEnjoyHisJob #ItsLiterallyInTheBible #Hebrews13 If your pastor […]

I wish I were kidding but I am not. The little guy told the big guy, “…and the bulb goes right into the socket right there.” “Oh, I see. Like this?” “Yes.” Historical and cultural context on how simple this should be: my husband has replaced the bulbs in that thing before. This is to […]
