Well here is the big surprise! A little less than a year ago I was browsing a friend’s blog. Susan at Stony River, always posts open markets at the end of her blog. This Chicken Soup for the Soul was the one posted for that day. I checked it out and it sounded like something [...]

This is Student Life’s newest Bible study. I was a contributor to this study writing 12 devotionals and 12 lessons. There are 8 sections in all and the two sections I wrote were entitled “Bridging the Gap” and “Next”. I wrote 6 lessons and 6 devotionals for both sections. These are really great for students. [...]

Here is the latest 31 Verses devotional book I wrote for Student Life. It is 31 different stories about Old Testament characters that reveal one aspect of God’s character. Each story includes a devotional and a set of reflective questions. Once it is released, it will be a great way for teenagers to learn more [...]

Now that summer is here in full force I thought it would be good for me to make a list of things I wanted to do. So, here we go. (Just so you know, the things on this list may or may not get done and some of them already have been accomplished.)

So here I am, rapidly approaching 30. I’m ten years out of high school. I’m 20 pounds over weight. I’m married with no kids. I have one dog and a full time job. I have a few goals before I turn 30 and running a marathon is one of them. When I began this year [...]

Ok. I know I’ll probably be given a hard time about this but I’ve decided to not run today. Stop laughing so I can explain. I was supposed to start Tuesday with 2 miles but I worked until 5:30 and we had dinner plans with friends at 6:15 and got home at 8:30. So, day [...]

Well there was once again a slight change in plans yesterday with regard to training. I had great intentions of running once I got off work but when I got home I still had work to do. I thought about running on the treadmill but talked myself out of it. Also, I was a little [...]

4 MILES!!!!!! WoooHoooo! It is so funny how today’s four miles were easier than yesterday’s two miles. We are in Albertville, AL this weekend for Woody’s visitation and funeral so we ran at the Lake Guntersville walking trail. It is so pretty running there by the lake.
Sarah and Rachel, Sarah’s twin sister, had to [...]

Well, you’ve probably guessed that by my lack of posting that I haven’t been running lately. That’s right. I’ve been a big slacker. But, to my defense, we had company this weekend, I’ve had a cold for the past three days, daylight savings time happened, WORK, I took engagement photos for some friends and….what else [...]

April was a big month with seemingly everything happening at once. There was the whole Chicken Soup for the Soul: Thanks Dad book news, a photo shoot, a Beast Feast at work, killing a really big turkey, flooding in the Mid-South, tornados popping up all around and a running milestone. The last one is the [...]
