On Lysol Lockdown

First I want to thank all of you for the great comments you left on the giveaway post for Mary’s book, God, Girlfriends, and Grace. Y’all are just so smart and intuitive and if we all lived close to one another I would insist we have lunch. Because I’m trying to be a better friend and I’m sure lunch dates qualify .

And now to announce the winner of the book. The lucky girl is #15, Heidi Harbuk! Congratulations, Heidi! Please email your address to me at lisaATapreacherswifeDOTcom and I’ll get your copy to you asap!

I had planned on posting some pics of my dining room because I need some decorating advice. But a couple of things waylaid me. 1. It is still covered in Christmas decorations I haven’t put away yet. 2. I haven’t put them away yet because darlin’ Sydney is sick and has been barfing her sweet little head off. She hasn’t had a virus in years so I just hate seeing her puny but I’m also slightly freaked out by the germs. Everyone is bathing in sanitizer and Lysol in hopes it doesn’t take us all out. I still can not even speak of the last family stomach flu event of 2000 in which I was the only person who didn’t get sick. By Day 4 I would have given anything to throw up so I wouldn’t have to clean up after anyone else. The house needed to be burned down afterward.

My baby is asking for some Sprite. I can’t resist petting on this sweet thing.

The girl, not the creepy look-alike doll.

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!

You have until Jan 6 (the twelth day of Christmas) with the decorations, at least that’s my excuse. Hope that sweet thing, that is your daughter, feels better soon. I just love her to death. She makes me smile every time and I do mean every time I have the opportunity to see her. Love you!
