Worst thing ever: Turning on your cell phone to take a picture, only to find the camera flipped and your double chin filling the screen. This has been one of those weeks of me doing things and then thinking daaah! Self-centered! I have felt really self-centered this week, when what I really want to be…
I’m going to confess to you that I paid $5 for a huckleberry bear claw on Friday. Polebridge, Montana is a little mercantile at the end of nowhere, and I’ve been hearing about their bear claws for a few years now. My daughter and I made the Polebridge Bakery And Mercantile booth our first stop…
Mom, you don’t know what you started when you groaned about having to endure personality testing at work. I made the mistake of telling Mr. Masters in Psychology, and pretty soon we were all getting Myers-Briggs scores as evening entertainment. And Mom, just so you know –you scored a “Wonderful”.

You know that game people play where they make a circle with thumb touched to index finger and try to get you look at it? If you look, then they say, Made you look! and slug you. You might be able to imagine that I always looks. Every time. And I have come to the…

He turned in his test and about five seconds later approached me, to ask if he could change an answer he thought was wrong. I said, Sure. So he pulled out his pencil, leaned over his test that was on my desk, and I watched as he erased the correct answer and wrote in the…
My dear friends, There is a video going around the internet right now, of a man speaking to women about who they are. It is well-intentioned and is meant to speak value into the lives of women, which is so desperately needed, but the content has me upset. I lost sleep over it last night…
Here’s a true story in the life of a blogger: Yesterday I could think of nothing to write. I was still dragging from a long week of vacation followed by a busy weekend, and all day long I prayed my usual prayer, Lord, what would you have me write today? By 10:00 at night I…
Last week I taught a Bible study on self-esteem. Then a few nights ago I was standing next to my daughter (who came to the class) when a friend of mine came up to me and said, How did your Bible study go Wednesday night? Do you know what I did? Feelings of insecurity rose…
