I've found that my wrap-up posts, after a conference weekend away, are some of my hardest. There is so much emotion tied up with so much information, that it's very hard to articulate what resonates in my heart. However, the writing it out not only lets you know what happened, but helps me process it all myself. It's worth perseverance, so here is my attempt.Living Proof Live with Beth Moore is one of my favorite Christian conferences - always has been, and I suspect it always will be. To my mind, she is one of the quintessential bible teachers of our time - not because she's "all that" or more gifted than anyone else - but because God has healed her from deep brokenness through the power...

While we are a "pro-life" prayer team, we, IN NO WAY, stand in judgment against those who have chosen abortion in the past!

For all of you who are so faithful to stop by here, I'm offering a formal apology. I have been TER.RI.BLE. at posting of late. Lots of "life" going on over here, and very little time to write about it.However, I'm heading out this weekend for a special treat. Namely, a meet-up of some of my not-so-nearest but ever-dearest online friends, all the way over in Memphis, Tennessee. The home place of Elvis Presley, you ask? Yes. But also the next convention of Living Proof Live and some good ol' Bible teaching from one of my favorite teachers, Beth Moore.So, check back in the next couple of days for some pics and commentary. You'll no doubt recognize a few of your (should be) favorite blogging...

I've been having my quiet time out on our little apartment balcony each morning, especially enjoying it with these cooler mornings. It's a beautiful apartment complex, surrounded by huge oak trees and nestled next to a local river. However, our apartment (the only one available to us on the date that we needed to move in) backs to the rear of a grocery store and its loading docks and dumpsters, just beyond the trees. You might be thinking, "wow, that's less than ideal."And you'd be right.The grocery store itself is a "high-end" take on an everyday task. They have a beautiful floral section, fabulous artisan bread bakery, extensive organic offerings, fine wines and a small cafe. The...
