Unconditional Love
Yesterday was the last day of my son’s first year of “big school” {insert crying Emoji here}. I’m not a sentimental or emotional person, but I do feel sad that it went by so quickly. People told me all year “once they start Kindergarten, it flies by.” And . . . they were right! He…

Are You Birthing an Ishmael or an Isaac?
Anyone who has been in church most of his or her life knows the story of Abraham and God’s promise to make him a father of many nations. For anyone who isn’t familiar with the story, start at Genesis 12 for the story of Abraham and God’s call on his life. Just like Abraham, I…

In my mind, “agent” was once a word synonymous with real estate. If not, then it meant someone like Estelle on Friends, wrangling up parts for Joey Tribbiani and taking more than her fair share of the paycheck. Then, I took a novel writing class in an effort to educate myself on the one writing…

When it comes to Alabama football, I’m a big fan. Not the kind of fan who poisons sacred trees on rival grounds or who obsesses over making every game. But, nonetheless, a big fan. Both of my parents, my younger sister and I all graduated from The University of Alabama. I was a football hostess…

Facing Life’s Fears
As we pulled up the to the pediatrician’s office, I could sense my six year old’s fear. He shivered in his booster seat like a puppy headed to the vet. And it wasn’t because he was cold, since the first week of October in Alabama felt like August anywhere else. He was afraid to have…
