I missed breakfast and was still late for the appointment. I totally forgot to wrap up a task as my phone kept buzzing with texts. My email inbox was filling up as quickly as my laundry basket. Grocery shopping would have to wait for another time. Various commitments and speaking gigs were clamoring for my attention. Ever feel like you've taken on too much and can't handle it all? Totally overwhelmed. Overwhelmed is defined as “to bury or drown under a huge mass” (Oxford Amer

Once upon a time, Terry and I fought over the last bite of my sandwich! Now, often in those early years of marriage, I would share whatever I could not finish on my plate.

Back in my high school days (feels like a hundred years ago—haha!), I had an incredible, godly lady who inspired me to dive into Psalm 1. She challenged me to apply it to my life. She didn't just suggest it; she dared me and a few friends to memorize the passage! Now, I'm not someone who memorizes things easily, but I accepted the challenge. As I read and reread those words and meditated on their meaning, the message became deeply and meaningfully engraved upon my heart. Thes
