Words cannot describe how proud I am of my travel ball team. We recently competed in a large tournament in Tallahassee, and ended up winning our bracket. Several college coaches were present…

I’ve spent quite a bit of time thinking about the hard workers at Bible camp two weeks ago. They weren’t just hard workers, they were willing, consistent, and intentional. No one in…

I remember a song from the old “Up With People” days about an oak tree. I won’t try to sing it for you here, but the gist of the song is about…

For those of you who know my dad, you probably know him as Sammy, Sambo, or Luke (he gets mistaken for his older brother all the time). Sammy was the popular nickname…

May 2008. I came home from work to my husband asking for help sending an email. He was searching on the Samaritan’s Purse website and found a posting advertising a short-term need…

Many of you know that I have been undergoing the joys of physical therapy for the past few months as a result of my “football injury” from November of 2019. I was…

For those of you who don’t know, I recently started coaching a 16 and under travel softball team that I will be continuing to coach throughout the summer. Along with that, I…

Those few of you who knew me when I was a little kid may remember (if you can remember that far back) that I was a big Batman fan. I would say…
