Farm Days is a collection of stories and adventures of a Midwestern family farm in the 20th Century. It’s a remembrance of a simpler time without distractions of satellite television, personal computers, and cell phones. It’s a reflection of a time when working together as a family was essential for accomplishing a day’s work, yet experiencing adventures together was commonplace. As you turn the pages of Farm Days, you’ll breathe in the sweet smell of freshly-baled hay, glide across an icy pond, cry as favorite pets die, feel the rush of the wind as you soar from...

Positions of self worth and value are being compromised and destroyed. Every woman has the desire to feel accepted and loved. The desire is so great that we try to satisfy those deep desires by our own means. We rely on self accomplishments such as striving to be a successful business woman, to receive a master’s degree, or to get married and have a family, signifying acceptance into society. Some women rely on their exterior beauty to affirm their importance. However, the impact in the end becomes futile. Our accomplishments and abilities can only carry us so far. Once we fulfill one area,...

When a water vessel is filled with dirt and stones, it cannot be used to quench a thirst. But, when this vessel is emptied, there is an opportunity to fill it until it overflows with fresh, cool, life-giving water. Water that quenches. Refreshes. Soothes. Our souls are the same: filled with fear, doubt, and disappointment. Running over with unanswered prayers and lingering questions. When we empty the mess of our lives in the presence of God, we're offered an invitation to come. An invitation that allows us to come empty - so that we can be filled until we overflow. Come Empty - Pour Out Life's...
