The last few years my friend Alece has picked one word as her theme for the entire year. And then she tries to make sure that she is all about that word all year long. I love her heart and the intentionality behind it. But I tried picking the word “action” last year. And although […]
Sorry it has been so very quiet around here. All I have for you is a couple of good excuses and some pictures. First this month has been…crazy. Like over the top crazy. Between Christmas, snow storms, out of town house guests, holiday parties, family get-togethers, a few run-ins with Santa, buying a new car, […]

Priscilla Shirer, Beth Moore, and Kay Arthur brought “it”. A […]
There are SO MANY conferences these days…blogging conferences, “get your creative juices flowing” conferences, leadership conferences, womens conferences, church conferences, “talk about changing the world” conferences. Seems like every time I turn around there is a new one launching that peaks my interest. And then there are the “old faithfuls” that I feel compelled to […]
Today I am featuring a guest post from my friend Greg Darley. Greg is a young go-getter. A few years ago he started BackStage Leadership, a coaching network that let’s you get behind-the-scenes with some of today’s most influential church leaders. This month he is releasing his first book, Passion is Not Enough. Here’s a […]
