Ten years ago tomorrow, I was doing the breakfast dishes and watching the Today Show on our small kitchen television when they started to show footage of the World Trade Center on fire. They said it was an airplane that caused the fire. Kory, who was 6 at the time, came running through the kitchen, and I said,… Read More 10 Years Later ~ Remembering the Day and Jessica
“Director’s Cut” was the theme of Crosswalk Youth Camp this year, and we were privileged to be a part of this awesome week for ~ I’m losing count ~ but possibly the 9th time. Robert served as Camp Pastor, and preached six sermons on the Lordship of Christ ~ mostly from the book of Luke.… Read More Who’s in the Director’s Chair?
Technically, if you count all of the weddings we have been invited to and for which Robert will be performing the ceremony, the total comes to ten. Yes, ten weddings from May to August.

Actually, it was a night in the mall, but even THAT is a rare occurrence for these special ladies ~ all of whom are either married to a pastor, or are on staff at one of our church planting network churches. They are an incredible group, and I wanted to make sure they knew it!… Read More Ministry Mamas Night on the Town
So, I spoke at church on Sunday about how women shouldn’t speak in church. Well, not exactly, but that infamously controversial verse from 1 Timothy, Chapter 2 was the focal point of Robert’s sermon, along with the qualifications for elders and deacons listed in Chapter 3. He’s been doing a sermon series entitled “Devoted.” He… Read More Not a Man’s Job ~ A Woman’s Reward
…is happening around here! A few scenes from the past two Sundays….

Kayla, my ten year old, and I have a little spiral notebook tug-of war going on especially on Sunday mornings. I always have a small spiral notebook in my purse – mostly for my menu planning and grocery lists, but also for those occasions when I need to jot down a phone number or email… Read More Spiral Sermon Interpretation
