This week I have been learning more about the Obergefell v. Hodges case from 2014 that legalized same sex marriage. Both sides gave compelling arguments. My mind has been stewing over it non-stop.

A few years ago, our family went on some away rotations to five different cities for five months. We had three kids at the time. Everything we took had to fit in our car. The only toys we brought were a basket of cars, the game Jenga, and one stuffed animal. We each packed five […]

My husband shared this TED talk with me last night, and I couldn’t help but feel like the dancing guy was my kindred spirit! Take a look: I have always been drawn to share my faith in Christ. I feel an overwhelming urgency to share it. It almost scares me how compelled I feel– so […]
