To Tithe or Not to Tithe

January 10, 2010

I just have to share some God-greatness that’s happened recently.
You may remember back in December I wrote a post about beating myself up — something I struggle with often. Well, over the holiday break, Duck took over the finances and began paying bills his way. We talked this week about whether or not we should [...]

She Speaks 2009: Let Down

August 8, 2009

Wow. I know that when you have a “high” like She Speaks was last weekend, that coming down back to life … back to reality … sorry, flashback to an old song … anyway, coming back down can be tough. At She Speaks there are all these great women, and you really feel the presence [...]
