Recently I’ve been struggling to give several areas of my life over totally to the Lord. They are areas I know I can’t control, but I continually struggle to get my hands into the mix and “help” the Lord do the right thing. I’m not an artist, but today I want to try to paint you…

My husband is a great conversationalist. His secret? He actually talks very little, but he listens well and knows how to ask great questions.

As I write this on the Saturday morning before Easter Sunday, I do indeed have a toilet in my living room. I sat calmly having a quiet time as my husband and son carried it there and set it on a tarp. To me the amazing thing isn’t that there is a toilet in my living…
