Words are my jam. From choosing an annual #oneword to song lyrics and blogs, and all the books, dictionaries, and encyclopedias in between.

Words are important to me - writing them, speaking them, reading, listening; … Continue reading Check-In + Prayer Guide

Advocate and Intercessor
One of my kids has been struggling with sleep this month. She used to sleep eleven hours per night; now she can’t fall asleep or sleep longer than a couple hours at a time.

The beautiful vocals and fascinating lyrics of this song get me … Continue reading Come to Jesus
