If you're just joining us, click here to see what this prayer team is all about! While we are a "pro-life" prayer team, we, IN NO WAY, stand in judgment against those who have chosen abortion in the past! We hold you and your heart in the highest esteem and you are SO WELCOME here. Many women (and men) who've experienced abortion often hold onto the memory in silence, suppressing feelings of guilt, shame and grief for, quite often, years. If this describes you, and you would like more information on how to find hope and healing, please visit this site, or click on the "contact me" button above.A reader sent me the video below earlier this week. It's an undercover visit to a Planned...

You may have noticed that I haven't been posting all that regularly, of late. It hasn't been for lack of trying, but I've been having the hardest time pulling thoughts together with any more success than trying to hold a tight fist full of sand.Really, now that I say that, I have to admit that it's not just thoughts I've been trying to pull together, or coherent and cohesive words on a page. It's the elements of my life right now, too. Grasping, and holding as tightly as I can, I try to keep those "grains of sand" from falling away, slipping from my control, and becoming part of a landscape I don't recognize as my own.What I've come to realize is that living life "tight-fisted" is not the...

Originally published December 5, 2008It's a noisy time of year, isn't it? Certainly, there are a lot of beautiful sounds of the season in the carols, bells and laughter. However, once we layer on the multitude of seasonal movies and television programs, Santas ho-ho-hoing, the revelry of parties, and a plethora of endless retail commercials and radio ads, we have quite a cacophony. In the midst of it all, I sometimes find it hard to hear my own heart beat.I've found my mind drifting toward thoughts of silence - longing for it, really. While I love all the beautiful sounds of the season, I am a person that needs to re-center in silence. It's precisely at this time every year that I'm struck...

You know, I was a holdout on the Kindle for a LONG time! I just didn't think it could compete with holding a book in your hands, the feel of the pages, the whole bookstore experience, and on and on. And really, I still love all those things about a "real" book the best. However, I finally broke and downloaded the smaller free version on my iPhone, and I really love the convenience of having a number of books in my purse at any given moment - especially when I travel.The actual Kindle is about the size of a book, but much thinner and lighter, holds an enormous number of books and has a plethora of other cool features. But they are also $259. So, when I heard about the giveaway that Noobie...
