I have always loved December. All the decorations and music and excuses to eat, drink and be merry are enough to put me into a perpetual state of holiday frenzy.

What Should I Write?

Aslan is on the move

On Blogging… and Writing in General
I have had a very difficult time maintaining my blog this year. It is not for lack of things to write about or talk about. In many cases I have been distracted by other things or the things I want to write about, I don’t feel free to write about for various reasons. During this…
Going All In = Major Life Changes!
Last month I wrote about going “all in” with God. This month I want to tell you what going “all in” has looked like for us over the last several weeks. The week of my birthday, two life changing things happened in the Walters household. Brian, my seminary graduate husband, was offered a job in…
