I’ve been awol for awhile now. Miranda got married in May and I spent about 9 months planning the wedding. I’ll show you some pictures in an upcoming blog post 🙂 I’m so proud of Miranda and Jamie and all they’ve accomplished. But it definitely takes a village! We also spent quite a bit of time traveling this summer and I’ll be sure and send some pics from our trip as well. But in this post I’m getting back to {Read More}
Five-Minute Friday: “View”
24 May, 2013 by 9 Comments
It’s Five-Minute Friday again when we write for five minutes unedited. Today’s topic is “view.” One, two, three…Go! Your view of the world is uniquely yours. It is how you look at life. Not just through your eyes, but through your ears, nose, mouth, and fingertips…and your heart. As life happens, your view changes. Standing at that sacred altar, vowing to leave your mother and father to create a life with the one you’ve chosen. Touching tiny toes, captivated by  the {Read More}
A Letter to My Enemy
26 March, 2013 by 23 Comments
 Maybe having my wisdom teeth pulled was my first mistake. At only 16, the decision was made for me. There must be a reason God gave us “wisdom” teeth, regardless of who actually named them. The pain from that surgery was the first time I let you into my life. You did a good job. You took away my pain and only made me a little nauseous. After a few days, the pain was gone, and so were you. {Read More}
Serving a Supernatural God in an Ordinary World—Is He Your Superhero?
25 September, 2012 by 10 Comments
For seven years I sought the help of medical doctors, psychologists, chiropractors, and other natural healers to cure me of grand-mal seizures, migraine headaches, depression, and opiate addiction. I hate the think about the thousands upon thousands of dollars I spent doing so. All that time, I had a direct line to a Superhero. I kept relying on worldly resources when I really needed the Great Physician. The creator of the universe. The ultimate healer. The one who holds {Read More}
Tips to a Happier You in 2012~The Power of Touch
30 June, 2012 by 1 Comment
I’m back to my posts on how we can use the five senses God gave us to fight depression and made us happier. Today it’s the power of touch. The touch of Jesus is illustrated through story after story in the Bible. The story from the prescriptions verse above where he touched the leper and healed him. The story of Peter when he stepped out of the boat to walk on water. When he took his eyes off Jesus, he {Read More}
Make-a-change Monday~Prayer & Circumstance
11 June, 2012 by Leave a Comment
Have you ever heard God speak? If God called you on the phone, would you recognize his voice? I remember as a teenager trying to figure out if God was telling me to do something, or if it was just made up in my head. It can be very confusing to know God’s voice as opposed to the “voices in your head” if you don’t talk to him—and listen to him—enough. Many people ask, “Why pray if God already know {Read More}
The Secret to a fulfilled life with purpose
7 March, 2012 by Leave a Comment
I had an article published at “Inspire A Fire” this week on the addiction part of my story. If you’ve read my story page on here you know my story is full of gut wrenching moments, but the addiction part seems to gain much attention; maybe because I’m a pharmacist, maybe because I’m a Christian, or maybe just because it’s the juiciest part of the story. It makes no difference to me, as long as someone is brought closer to Christ through it. One {Read More}
Tips to a happier you in 2012~Have Faith
18 February, 2012 by Leave a Comment
From the moment I had my first seizure, I tried to hold on to this verse. Having peace in God in the midst of my world of seizures, addiction, and depression required much faith. Faith is belief in something that cannot be seen. Having faith is a decision based on life experiences, which are different for everyone. I became a Christian when I was seven years old. I went to church, did Bible studies, and said my prayers. But something {Read More}
Mustard Seed Miracles~My One Year Anniversary
25 September, 2011 by 1 Comment
Today required two prescriptions. The thing is, they seem to interact with one another. As a pharmacist, I always do my best to warn patients about interactions between their prescriptions, but this interaction is a tough one. You see, one year ago today, God healed me completely from migraine headaches, grand mal seizures, and severe depression. He healed me from the addiction of constantly chasing anything and everything for a cure. He showed me that even though Satan had a {Read More}
Intercourse…an adventure or a destination?

Be honest. Did the title make you want to read this? I’m sure this one will catch my hubby’s eye…and I can’t get him to read hardly anything I write! It’s not very long, but you have to read to the end to get the title… If you have read my recent posts, you know my hubby and I just celebrated our 22nd anniversary. See my posts titled, “Its time for….” and “Do you get it?” to be up to {Read More}
