Have you ever thought of combining your workout with meditation? When I first started walking seriously, I was often bored by the lack of stimulation walking provided. I started in the early morning in the dead of winter, and there was nothing to see. Listening to music was awkward because it was all different beats. Listening to nothing caused my mind to wander in a thousand directions (I'm ADD) and I found that frustrating and exhausting.… Continue

I just left my oldest (as in, I've known her the longest), and dearest friend Christy's house. She lives in Colorado Springs and I had the wonderful gift of a three-day visit with her, her new baby Nicole (yep, isn't that cool!!), and her mother.

She’d invited ten girls and almost all of them were planning to stay over.… Continue

For when the righteous cry for help, the Lord hears and delivers them out of all distress and trouble, Psalms 35:17...often repayin… Continue

I follow Max Lucado on Twitter and a couple of weeks ago he put out a challenge for fellow Christians to begin to pray for our President-elect. With a just a few days to go, I'm excited. I know that every person has their political views, and no matt… Continue
