Until 2010…

As if it’s not obvious I’ve been on a little blog break, let me go ahead and proclaim it as official. We are getting ready to head to Gatlinburg again this year with our church youth for Xtreme. I’ll be excited when I can finally breathe a sigh of relief as we pull out of the driveway fully packed. If you happen to be attending please look for me. I’ll be the 30-something girl waving her lighter to Casting Crowns and fist-pumping/amen-ing Tony Nolan.

You certainly deserve a more eloquent closure on 2009 than this; however, time doesn’t permit my waxing philosophical. Let me simply say that all of you are dear to me. I appreciate your reading, your comments, your emails, your encouragement more than I can say and if you will – keep it coming in 2010. *grin*

See you in January!!

Hi... I'm Lisa and as the tagline says, also a preacher's wife. I began this website in 2007 just prior to the Facebook revolution when mom blogs were a relatively conflict-free zone for sharing recipes and stories about our latest parenting fails. Fast-forward a few years... Luke and I continue to serve the same family of believers in North Alabama where we've called home for over 16 years. The boys are grown and gone, we have an incredible daughter-in-law and the baby McKay is living her best life as an only child while working and going to college. I am a full-time corporate employee and still love to write and teach Scripture. The last two years haven't been kind to public events but it's been during these trying times that the Lord has revealed the importance of the local church reclaiming discipleship using the gifts of those within the body. The time feels right to refresh the blog as a platform for sharing how God has worked through this process and perhaps encourage other churches to follow. And who knows, there may even be a recipe or more parenting fails. Those don't stop when your kids become adults. Thank you for visiting.. I look forward to connecting!

Until 2010…
