Exercise Your Attitude
I recently wrote about our need to choose discipline through exercise. Not a topic everyone is excited about, I know. However, I just got off the phone with my accountability partner. We were committing our food choices for the day and discussing exercise. She has been struggling with even having the desire to get out [...]

I recently watched the Hallmark Hall of Fame movie Crossroads: A Story of Forgiveness. If you havent seen the movie it is based on the true story of Bruce Murakami. Bruces wife and daughter were killed in a car crash. As Bruce pushed to find out the truth of what happened he discovered the accident was [...]

Like many of you, I watched American Idol last night. They had been giving this Idol Gives Back show a lot of hype and I was curious to see what it entailed. (As an Idol fan we either watch or DVR American Idol every Tuesday and Wednesday anyway.) I must say, I was quite impressed. By [...]

This morning, after an awards ceremony at my daughters school, I stopped by my favorite Starbucks. As usual, their staff was fantastic. By the [...]

17. April 2007
I was going to share a story about my food addiction and how I often try to justify my desire to binge. However, Ill save that for a later entry. What is on my heart today is the need for discipline in our daily habits. For numerous reasons the last thing I wanted to do today [...]

As I mentioned before, God-sightings can occur anywhere. Since He is the Creator his fingerprints are around us everywhere we look. One of the places I see Him most often in Harley, my Husky/Australian Shepherd Mix. Having come from the pound, Harley is grateful just to have a home. She never complains, even when she is [...]
