So, tonight I have a silly post. Gotta do that every now and then, right? This is one of my favorite pictures of my husband and me together. It was taken in September of 2015, when we attended a game between the St. Louis Cardinals and Chicago Cubs at Busch Stadium. I had purchased tickets…
Always in My Heart: Pregnancy & Infant Loss
October is upon us again. In many ways, it is my favorite time of year. Leaves are changing colors here in the Midwest and the temperatures are cool enough for sweaters but not so cold that I am frozen. Cinnamon, apple, and pumpkin spice treats warm my belly and make me happy. Bruce and I…
#WorthRevisit: Grab Your Umbrella!
It’s Wednesday, which means I am revisiting a post from before, and linking it up to Reconciled to You and Theology is a Verb. I appreciate these two blogs sharing my posts, but I am also happy to discover other blogs too! This post originally appeared in August 2015. Students for Life Illinois will be…
#WorthRevisit: My Deformed Left Hand
It’s time for a #WorthRevisit post! Today, a friend tagged me in a Facebook “memory” from four years ago. It was a picture (not the one below) from the local Walk for Life. It sparked memories for me too, as it was one of the last events I served as Executive Director. I remembered that…
A Different Kind of #WorthRevisit
Generally, when I participate in the #WorthRevisit Link-Up, I am posting something I wrote before; thus the revisit concept. Then I share it with the Reconciled to You and Theology is a Verb blogs. It’s been a great way for me to “meet” other writers and speakers who enjoy sharing their faith. But today, I have…
Third Sunday is Park Day
My writing has been sporadic here, but I just wanted to share a few simple thoughts and pictures. After all, not everything has to be profound or challenging. In fact, today is a perfect day to reflect on the simple things…beauty, joy. My husband, Bruce, and I decided recently to take advantage of the scenic…
#WorthRevisit: Always a Mom
In honor of Mother’s Day weekend, I am posting this for the #WorthRevisit link-up on Reconciled to You. Happy Mother’s Day to all the mom’s reading this, especially to my own mom, Kathleen, who gave me, and continues to give me life and love. ************************************************************* Twenty-one years ago, I celebrated Mother’s Day for the first…
#WorthRevisit: Mothers, Earth, and Babies
I love this Wednesday “WorthRevisit link-up! I am prepping this in advance because I will be busy at the Heartbeat International conference. I looked at some prolife posts from the past, and decided to revisit this one. It’s a long post, but one of my favorites because it is near and dear to my heart.…
Thank you, Indiana!
Today, Indiana Governor Mike Pence signed into law a provision making it illegal to abort a child due to fetal anomalies such as Down’s Syndrome (as well as race or sex.) Indiana is only the 2nd state to do so, North Dakota being the other one. I am so excited to see this! And yet…
#WorthRevisit: Lion or a Lamb?
Once again, I am participating in the Worth Revisiting Link-up found at Reconciled to You. I did this last week for the first time, and truly enjoyed reading many other posts. I also enjoy looking back on my own older posts. This post is from March 2, 2015. ********************************************************************************************** You know the old saying…
