My entire team hadn’t even scurried off the stage when I heard the words whispered behind the backstage curtains. I had already braced myself for them. “Man, tough crowd tonight.” On the surface they were right. It was a tough crowd. Have you ever tried to lead worship for 12-14 year olds who just literally […]
I worked 13 glamorous hours straight yesterday. I love my job(s) – all of them. By the end of the day, I felt accomplished and thankful for the abundance of opportunity to grow and work. No complaints here. I wanted to get home, take a bath, and slip right into bed in preparation for an […]
We live in such a harsh, multi-dimensional world. I’m continuously shocked at how people behave online. We’ve moved from worrying about our face to face interactions with people to worrying about both the offline and online worlds we operate within.

If you have friends who are homeschooled. You were homeschooled. You like homeschooling. You can read the word homeschooling. Explore and Laugh. I really would watch this show. A show about homeschoolers?
Tonight my bestfriend of many years asked me to officially be in her wedding, along with our other bestfriends. It was sweet. It was simple. It was heartfelt.
