How To Exchange Negative Thinking For Gratitude
Science is discovering more thought-body connections all of the time, which is fascinating to me! Especially since almost 3,000 years ago King Solomon wrote, “As a man thinks, so is he”.

I Did Not See That Coming
As I reflect on the past several years I can honestly say, I did not see that coming! King Solomon wrote, “We can make our plans, but the Lord determines our steps.” Isn’t that the truth?!Here are a few of my “I did not see that coming” moments.

Summer Bible Reading for the Littles
In my opinion, there is NOTHING better than summer! This native eastern Washington girl lives for sunshine, warm weather, iced-coffee, summer break, and did I mention sunshine?! This will be our second summer to have Bible reading as a part of the daily routine for our three kiddos.
