Welcome, I am NOT the God-centered mom! More like the self-centered mom... you just have to trust me on that one. Feel the same? let's talk »
On the heels of my “lighten up” post, encouraging us to not take ministry so seriously, I thought I would give you a tangible way to make your home ministry chocked full’o laughs.
Introducing…

It’s hilarious.
And incredibly simple.

Bruce and I are not the “fixer-upper” type of people. We’re not completely incompetent mind you. Personally, I can do a couple of little handy things around the house, like replacing a broken toilet fill valve (yes, I just googled that) or change a light bulb or tighten a loose screw (don’t ask me to hang a ... read more →
Earlier this week I shared the truth God gave me on my flight to Chicago about national security…as a nation under God. In God. With God. True security in Him alone. And you may have been curious…Where was Heather going? Why was she in Chicago? Well, here is the rest of the story…
After the Color Guard ... read more →
Sitting down in an usually large chair removed from the rest of gate C2, I finally felt the weight of the previous week. A pit settled in my stomach when I considered the world in that moment.
Explosions at what should have been a joyous event.
A man hunt in a quiet neighborhood.
Even a car chase and arrest on my street.
I reflected on my experience at airport ... read more →
**pst…there’s a giveaway at the end of this post...don’t want you to miss out…**
uncomfortable uncertainty.
I mentioned speaking at a MOPs group last Friday, but I didn’t tell you I also spoke briefly that night…in the same room…to a completely different group of ladies.
When I said “yes” to our women’s minister, I didn’t really know what she wanted me to talk about. Then she sent me ... read more →
Those are great traditions, right? Now, she says, “Put LOL because it’s funny.”
I haven’t enjoyed dinner time the last year or so. I would LOVE to win a copy and enjoy our family time again!!
oh friend, I’m sorry. I get that. We have gone through long seasons where dinners like more training occurs than actually eating or joy. Hope you win a copy too!
Ha Ha Ha!!!! I used to play the “sausage” game with my middle school girls at church–never thought about teaching it to my kiddos. I love hearing my 4 yo ask say, “So Daddy, tell me the best part of your day today?” Sweet! Thanks for the fun giveaway!
hee hee. Quade actually learned it at his drama camp last month. What a sweet tradition…sharing high points. thanks Julie!!
We don’t have any traditions, but when I asked my 6yo, she said, “Talking…and filling my stomach up.”
Those are great traditions, right? Now, she says, “Put LOL because it’s funny.”
she’s so awesome. and yes, those are excellent traditions. (I LOL’d for sure…fortunately I was at a stop light when I read this so there wasn’t an LOL induced car accident).
Growing up I loved how my dad read a chapter from Proverbs every night as we were finishing up dinner. After a while we started memorizing chapters because we had heard them so often, so he would read a verse and pause before saying a word, and my sisters and I would giddily say the word to “fill in the blanks” if we could remember. I’ll never forget those nights!
how beautiful Katie! absolutely LOVE that tradition. Thank you for sharing.
Love this idea Heather! Can’t wait to try the Sausage game at home. Andrew will love it. We don’t necessarily have a really funny tradition at mealtimes, but we do ask the questions “What was the best part of your day?” or “What was the hardest part of your day?” When they talk about the best part of their day–it is usually something silly or something that made them laugh. It just helps get the dinner conversation going…now this is of course, WHEN we sit down to dinner as a family!
LOL. I believe it’s time to add a new family tradition. Will definitely play this game with the family. ^_^
Funny! We don’t have many traditions around the table other than always eating together and sharing the events of our day.
I love your sense of humor! SAUSAGE!
