Before 90210 and Felicity, I got my teen angst fix from Archie Comics {and, of course, some Baby-Sitter’s Club and Sweet Valley High}. I always loved seeing what trouble Betty, Veronica and the gang would get into and try to guess who might win Archie’s affections {maybe Archie is why I believe red-heads are the cutest boys around?}. I distinctly remember […]
To attend that party? To play on that team? To sit at that table? To go on that trip? It’s okay. It really is okay. It wasn’t okay at first. I was hurt as everyone whispered plans and gushed about the fun to be had. I was wistful as I watched every picture go up on Instagram. I was angry as names were […]
Last week on the Timothy’s Gift Hope Tour, Melissa shared at each prison a beautiful message from John 8. We probably know or at least recognize the story… 1 Jesus went to the Mount of Olives. 2 At dawn he appeared again in the temple courts, where all the people gathered around him, and he sat down to teach […]

Last weekend I took a group from our office, our IF:Terns and a few others, to Dallas to experience a few of my favorite Christmas traditions…my dad’s chili, the over-the-top Dallas Christmas lights, and Behold The Lamb of God. {If we had just thrown a Hallmark movie in, I would have been in Christmas heaven. I […]
One of my favorite things about the IF:Gathering is how women have been inspired to lead in their places, in their homes, in their churches, in their communities, and in their cities. IF is being lead by women who live down the street, women who work down the hall, women who have raised their hands and said, […]
“Sometimes the story we’re telling the world isn’t half as endearing as the one that’s true.”
