As a mom of three wonderful boys, I feel so blessed! Not to mention, I get to hang out with you on The Fish every night. God showed me an interesting thing tonight. I was surfing on-line and came upon the definition of perfection. Merriam-Webster defines it as "freedom from fault or defect:Flawlessness" or "the quality or state of being saintly." Wow, that caught my attention. Saintly??? I have been driven ...

My Dad is 82 and recently drove his pick-up truck 12 and a half hours away to his home town of Swissdale, PA. By himself. I emphasize “by himself” because several folk close to us have gasped and responded to that feat by saying “at his age!?!" Yes, without a second thought. He has always been strong, mentally and physically. This is his first trip away from home since moving in with ...

I'm not talking about celebrating the freedom of living in the USA. We're pretty good at that. It's especially easy this time of year with all the flags, parades, fireworks and patriotic music. I'm referring to the freedom we have in Christ. I'm embarrassed to admit, but I'm not always the best at it. Do you ever do this? You sin, confess, but feel so badly about it, that you skip ...

When was the last time you were just barely holding on to hope? In the darkest of circumstances, hope is what we cling to - that glimmer that there's light at the end of the tunnel. Our hearts are breaking for the people of Haiti who are just barely clinging to hope right now. When Kevin and I visited this impoverished country years ago, we thought things couldn't get any worse. ...

Aren’t old photo’s great? We have albums and boxes of them in storage at our house and I can spend hours looking at all of them. Those pictures bring back such great memories of important dates, holidays and family vacations. In some of our beach vacation pictures there are shots of me carrying all the stuff our family of 6 needed for a day at the beach. I looked like a pack-mule! I’m piled up ...

Our faith and NASCAR – ok, this may seem like a stretch, but hang with me here a minute. There really is a point to this. I have been a race fan, specifically NASCAR, since I was a little girl. My daddy raised me right – he raised me on NASCAR! So of course I was watching the latest Atlanta Motor Speedway Race when an interesting fact emerged. Star driver, Brad Keselowski and his wife, had ...

You may or may not have heard about it, but a little known movie called “Avengers: End Game” came out recently. I don’t know that I ever remember a movie generating so many “DON’T SPOIL IT FOR ME” messages on social media and in every day conversation. Yes, I said it myself…threatening to physically harm anyone who ruined it for me. Thankfully, I was able to see it before hearing or seeing any spoilers. And ...

Have you ever taken a second to really look at how the dairy aisle has changed? Oat, plant based, coconut, almond, and soy milk all sit competitively near skim, whole, and chocolate cartons. This is a lactose brawl waiting to happen, may the best coupon win. Most of these options are lost on me, I’ve never been a fan of milk, dating back to childhood. Usually I just grab a big ...

It seems like 2019 has started with a theme: Identity. From church sermons to songs we are playing, our identity and where we get our identity keeps coming up. Sometimes our identity gets confused with what we do. I’m a teacher, a cook, a business owner, an administrative assistant, a doctor, a radio personality – insert your job here – but that’s not really who we are. How do I know ...
