Hello friends! I had the privilege of guest writing today over at Beating 50 Percent! Hop on over to read the post, and to check out the beautiful work Audrey and Jeremy Roloff are doing to equip marriages to not just survive, but thrive in today’s broken world. You are loved!
Three years ago, a little man by the name of Wesley Maclean Jamieson was born to make us a family of five. He immediately captured us with his joy and and has not ceased stealing hearts since. Just a few months into his life, before his personality had really begun … More Joy Boy
I mentioned that I had the sweet opportunity to share at an event entitled “The Anchor” on Thursday evening. I was asked to speak about “anchor moments” in my life ~ those times when I was grounded in my faith as a result of Jesus proving that he really is secure and strong and full of hope. … More Storms and Sunshine
A week ago last Friday, I had the incredible privilege of speaking at chapel for Kings high school. Reminiscent of Leavenworth, the campus is tucked away north of Seattle.

In light of this sermon, I began wrestling with who I believe God to be. What are the assumptions I have made? How has culture shaped and filled in the blanks … More Loaded
