10 Bible Verses to Ignite Your Morning

I have to admit, I have a love-hate relationship with mornings. On one hand, I love the freshness of beginning a day anew.

How to Study the Bible

When I left Christian Science in my twenties, I didn’t know much about how to study the Bible. Growing up, we relied on the lesson sermon (distributed by the Christian Science Publishing Society) to tell us which Bible verses to read in correlation with passages from Mary Baker Eddy’s book, Science ...

Broken by Trauma, Healed by Hope

What is it like to be broken by trauma and yet healed by hope? It might seem implausible to consider recovering from past traumas, but it is possible with time and work. Everyday occurrences can trigger past hurts in ways that are difficult to understand. Trauma isn't easy to wrap your mind ...

5 More Things Covid-19 Has Taught Me

Last week, I shared five things I've learned during the 2020 Covid-19 pandemic. As we roll into the New Year, most people feel ready to kick 2020 to the curb. I'm not so quick to say that 2020 was a complete loss. ...

5 Things Covid-19 Has Taught Me

It's difficult to gain perspective when we are in the middle of the biggest upset to daily life any of us can remember. If it had only lasted a few weeks, we'd be back to normal. But we're not.

How to Be Grateful When You Don’t Feel Like It

I have to admit, I have a love-hate relationship with gratitude. Partly because of my religious upbringing, and partly because I struggle with taking on too much. When I hear the command, "Be grateful," I sometimes feel resentment or even anger creeping up in me. The question is, "how to do be ...

3 Steps to Honor God’s Vision in Our Lives

Often in our Christian walk, we catch a glimpse of a vision that gives us hope that we can impact others in some meaningful way. In the moment, we rarely have a clue how our vision will ever come to be. This vision eventually becomes our reality as we aim to accomplish it; it becomes a piece of our ...

The End of Elementary School

It's often said that parents try to live vicariously through their children. Our own dashed hopes and dreams can be relived and recreated anew through our offspring. This, as we know, often backfires. In my case, I hadn't given much thought to my personal negative experiences with elementary school ...
