The first question I have been asking my clients over the past couple of weeks is, “How are you taking care of yourself”?

Kids ask a lot of questions. Ask any parent, teacher, grandparent, or babysitter. They are curious little minds, and they always want to know “why?” I’m sure the questions have ramped up since Coronavirus entered our reality. What is a virus? Am I safe? Why can’t I see my friends? I’ve seen a l...

Our family bakes resurrection rolls to celebrate the death and resurrection of Christ. In the past, we have made them on Good Friday, but this year decided to use the activity as a way to kick off Lent and start the conversations about Easter.

Recently, along with a group of women in my Bible study, I decided to step outside of my comfort zone. We visited with Elisabeth Jordan, the Founder and President of The Human Impact, whose mission is to befriend the homeless in the Dallas area and bridge the relational gap to change lives. Hon...

I’m one of those strange creatures that LOVES everything about Texas summer, including the HEAT!
