I so appreciate you taking… Continue reading 31 Days of My People: Jesus {31/31}

   Dear Todd, I could have married someone else, you know. In fact, that was kind of the plan. Back when I was too young and foolish to be planning anything, for seven years, I was mapping it all out. Remember how I told you I’d named all 4 of my kids and everything? Yep. Could’ve gone… Continue reading 31 Days of My People: My Man {30/31}

It has been so enjoyable taking time this month to write about some of the many special people that I love. New friends and long time friends, acquaintances and folks I would love to spend more time with. They’re all special in their own unique ways. But I have to admit there’s one person I’d… Continue reading 31 Days of My People: THAT Girl. {29/31)

Chihuahuas. Brain surgery. Presidents. Elementary school. Bikers. Tin crosses. Jiu Jitsu. Myles Pizza. Social work. Air conditioning. Post-it notes. Tattoos. Jesus. What in the universe could these things possibly have in common with one another? Nothing at all. They have absolutely nothing to do with each other except for the fact that they’re all part… Continue reading 31 Days of My People: Greg & Tiff {28/31)

She’s in another state this weekend celebrating her youngest daughter’s second birthday with family. She still took the time last night to send me a message answering some questions of mine. Then she spent a little more time chatting with me about some stuff I’ve been dealing with. Even from two states away, she’s showing… Continue reading 31 Days of My People: Jamie {26/31}

The knock at the door startled me. Who the heck would be out in this cold? I opened it to the delightful face of my new friend, Mary, standing on my porch in her multi-colored toboggan and holding a container of something yummy. She was just stopping by for a second to drop off some… Continue reading 31 Days of My People: Mary {24/31}

As soon as she spoke and began dragging my items across the belt, I asked her, “West Virginia or Kentucky?” She paused and squinted. “What’s that, young lady?” “Are you from West Virginia or Kentucky?” When she smiled, her plump cheeks jiggled a bit, which made me love her all the more. West Virginia it… Continue reading 31 Days of My People: The Target Lady {23/31}

I have a love/hate relationship with technology. On one hand, it can be so annoying. It doesn’t always work correctly, resulting in us spending extra time trying to make it do what it said it was supposed to do in the first place (I’m looking at you, Siri.) Or even worse, it lulls us into… Continue reading 31 Days of My People: The Jujus {22/31}

Have you ever known someone so determined to do what they know they’ve been put on this planet to do that nothing in the world can stop them? That pretty much sums up my friend Delaine. So, there was this one time that Delaine decided to teach herself the language of Hindi. HINDI. Before you… Continue reading 31 Days of My People: Delaine {21/31}

My whole wedding situation was a disaster. We were scheduled to get married in May. Construction on the church where our ceremony was to be held went wayyyyyy past its deadline and we soon realized that venue wasn’t going to work. But we had this nonrefundable honeymoon booked for which we had to be married… Continue reading 31 Days of My People: Amanda {18/31}
