The world’s unfairness isn’t just a fleeting feeling, it’s a fact of life on this sin-cursed earth being magnified. There is real evil in the world, intended upon stealing, killing, and destroying us. Our enemy lies. When we feel we are surrounded by unfairness and evil, lies and manipulation …it’s because we are. It’s hard, and it can make us feel hopeless and helpless to stop it. Especially when our kids are hurting and there’s nothing we can do to make it right or ease the pain.

Day 152: Grace gives second chances. “The sword of the Spirit is the Word of God.” Ephesians 6:17 (VOICE) Oh, crap, she’s out there without a helmet on, again. “Lo! Put your helmet on!” I yelled out the window. Tucked back on a cul-de-sac, I never wore a bike […]
December #jammed: Grace, gifted. Day 354: Aim for average. Mary kept all these things in her heart and thought about them often. Luke 2:29 NLT Motherhood is ridiculous. It completely changes us from the inside out. The outside starts falling a part, and the inside grows more rapidly than our emotions can keep up with. Every concern […]
April #jammed: Grace Studies. Day 92: Constant Rehearsal. “Those who practice the law and teach others how to live the law will be called great in the kingdom of heaven.” Matthew 5:19b She began to beg for ballet when she was two, not once straying from her “pointe shoe” dreams.
