“Everybody wants to save the Earth; nobody wants to help Mom do the dishes.” —P.J. O’Rourke Tonight after my brother's birthday dinner, I dried a few dishes while my mom washed them. Mostly I just stood there admiring her hands as they scrubbed the plates. Her hands are so familiar to me, but ...

Who am I? Love Your Life
This weekend I am attending a Christian women's conference a couple hours from home called Hearts at Home. At this point in my life, as in right now-today, I feel like I'm doing alright in the areas of motherhood and marriage, but I am lacking in finding my true identity. After talking it over ...
