Living in the Peace Zone
My insides cringed when he said it. Sucking in a short, sharp breath, I realized that I would never grow accustomed to hearing Jesus’ name used while swearing. My head bowed slightly as my heart prayed, “Jesus is Lord.” We know that God’s name is holy. The commandments given to Moses reveal that. If that…
Back in 2012, my son and his team created and launched a technology company. I was one of the founding members and thoroughly enjoyed the opportunity to be a part of something so innovative. Before the technology was brought to life, there were months of testing the product. Then when we had the product in…
I know that I am a glass-house kind of gal aka an open book. My blogs reveal the real me. But, I do keep a few things between me and THEE and THEE is Who I am expressing praise to today! My big reveal. While in Cabo, several of us came down with a respiratory…
In a talk I gave to a room of grandmothers on Tuesday, I started out sharing the words of this song: “I Raise a Hallelujah”. The song was written by recording artists and Bethel music leaders, Jonathan and Melissa Helser when their friends’ two-year-old son was airlifted to intensive care and not expected to live…
Last week, I recorded Queen Elizabeth’s big celebration that commemorated her 70 years of professional life as the Queen of England.

So we’ve had a rough day at work. The slow, often stopped, traffic going home was annoying. The last straw was the garage door opener not working. Everyone at home knows what kind of day we’ve had by our facial expressions, our short temper, and our body posture. How can we flip the script from…
I love that my children, Staci and Larry, named their 60+ acres ranch, Epiphany Ranch. Epiphany was the name of my husband’s missions and message ministry for many years. They are carrying on the family legacy in action and my son, Ryan, carries on as President of the ministry corporation. It does this wife and…
I stood behind a beautiful, almost-ready-to-pop mama (8+ months pg), with her hands raised to heaven and praising God with all-out freedom on the front row at church. While I was praising God in my own way, I was enamored by this precious woman. I told her so. I know her faith journey. She made…
I attend City Reach church with my children on Sundays. This is a church that focuses on winning people to Christ. The name is the church’s heart — to reach the city of Austin with God’s love. Their goal is 400,000 people coming to Christ. Every service you’ll see hands raised to accept the invitation.…
