There is so much to love about summer. More hours of sunlight. Pool days. Cookouts. Vacations. One of my very favorite parts of summer, though, is summer reading. Digging into a good book (or 10) is a hobby to enjoy year-round. But there’s just something about settling into a lounge chair as the pages of […]
Make the Most of Your Morning Routine with HelloMornings!
Does your morning routine start like this? Or is it more like this? Inwardly I’m a little more like my son sleeping, but I motivate myself to be a bit more like Amy Schumer when my alarm goes off at 5 a.m. most weekday mornings. I love my sleep, and giving an up 60 or 75 […]
Life Happens
There’s a Yiddish proverb that says: “{Wo}Man plans and God laughs.” (“Wo” added by me.) I do think our plans can cause God to giggle sometimes. But even more, I think we plan and Life says, “Awww, look at her. She has a good idea backed up with a perfectly written out plan and editorial […]

We started with love, the GOAT! Now let’s dive into its good friend, joy. Scripture tells us there are a lot of ways to express joy. You can shout with joy (Leviticus 9:24).

Strength {of Character} Training

The hardcore, high-intensity stuff is usually out for me; which is one of the reasons I enjoy strength training so much. Don’t get me wrong, […]

Why You Should Sign-Up for Psalm 119 with Sarah Koontz
When you sit down in a row of people at a conference where you really don’t know anyone, you never know who’ll you meet. That’s where I first met Sarah Koontz. I was introduced to her by my online friend, Leigh Ellen. A sweet girl from the mid-west, I liked her immediately. I began to […]
