Sing to the Lord: Why Your Child Needs More Than Nursery Rhymes
There are some universal truths of parenthood: One of the very best smells in the world is a newborn baby’s head.One of the most adorable (and “hooray, now I get a nap too”) sights is a sweet baby, toddler, or kiddo sleeping.There is no sweeter sound than a toddler singing. It’s that last truth that especially fills my heart with joy: listening to a little person sing. I love hearing the little voices and the imperfect speech and the misunderstood words. Often, we start by teaching our ... [keep reading]
Of Roses and the Resilient Beauty of God’s Promises: A Springtime Reflection
In the winter, I think green thoughts and I dream of roses. I read books and catalogs, and I make lists. In spring, I plant new roses, wishing with every one that I had yet more roses to plant. In early summer, I remember that there is a manageable gardener-to-rose ratio, and I have foolishly surpassed it. My roses need tending, but I am one, and they are many. Yet I go on wanting more. I think this love of roses may be akin to sickness. Addiction. Obsession. It does not seem quite proper. ... [keep reading]

What are the spiritual life skills our kids need us to teach them?
From the day we tote our pruned, magenta, bundles of joy home from the hospital, we’re imparting life skills: how to fall asleep, how to use the bathroom, how to nibble a bratwurst without choking. They start life in the car seat, but our goal is to eventually hand over the keys. But even if my kids can obtain their MBA and perform as a concert pianist on the side, I have to ask myself if I have given them the right tools to have spiritual life skills? Will they lack spiritual life skills, ... [keep reading]
When life has made you crack, here’s the one-word prayer that God is sure to answer.
It had been a rough season for our family. Between aging parents, financial struggles, moving, and setting up a new business, my husband, Roger, and I were burned out, as in, crispy like bacon that had been left in the oven ten minutes too long. But the hits just kept on coming. More stress. More drama. More of everything I didn’t need—or want. As I became more and more overwhelmed with all that was going on in our life, I kept cutting things out to make room for all the tasks that had to get ... [keep reading]

What burritos, donkeys, and cake can (indirectly) teach us about Jesus
Have you ever seen a video demonstrating the size of the planet earth next to the size of our sun? And then the size of our sun next to some of the supergiant stars or even a black hole? You can’t help but become mesmerized by the magnitude of God’s cosmic creations or awestruck by His incredible power, majesty, eternality, creativity, and overall awesomeness. When the Bible Infographics Team first formed, we were equally stunned by one of those videos. We decided collectively that we wanted ... [keep reading]
Is motherhood a thankless endeavor? Here’s how God answers that question.
The truth about motherhood as a profession is that it can be a bit of a thankless one, especially when our kids are very young. In a traditional workplace, the boss passes out “employee of the month” awards. Or she dangles a Christmas bonus in front of our noses to motivate us. My toddlers have dangled a variety of objects in my face at times, but most of them have been slimy, and none have remotely resembled dollar bills (unless they’ve been digging through my purse again). Or maybe, if we ... [keep reading]
