Our whole family, minus baby Jane is leaving for camp this Sunday. I used to love camp. Like twenty-four years ago when I was in the seventh grade and the prospects of meeting my true-love-forever were just around the corner. (Incidentally, Spencer and I attended at the same youth camp in 1982, [...]

School starts for us in twenty-four days. TWENTY. FOUR. DAYS. Where did our summer go? The kids and I went shopping for school shoes this past weekend– because we’re all going to church camp in a week and I needed to get this annual task out of the way.) [...]

John Piper shares how to fight covetousness– Pick out some people whose lives show that they treasure Christ above other things. Then “keep your eyes on them.” Watch them. That, Paul says, is a good way to conquer covetousness.

OK- so what do y’all think about this? Feel free to weigh in.
Last week’s VBS gave me the opportunity to spend six consecutive nights with a LOT of kids. And let me just say up front, I LOVE kids– even the ones with bad manners. So please don’t email me about not loving the kids, [...]

How dare I promise to post everyday on the eve of Vacation Bible School! That has to one of the most lame brained things I’ve done lately. I’ll try to keep that promise next week… But anyway, speaking of VBS, it’s been a fantastic week with some eighty kids enrolled and several [...]
