Learning to Relax

March 27, 2025 By Cara Putman

I have a confession to make. I‘m really good at working. Like world class at it. I am the queen of going from one task right to the next, barely with a break to celebrate that the one has ended. I tightly calendar everything, and most of the time it works out fine… until someone gets sick, or an extra task gets assigned or a miscommunication occurs.

The Unseen TBR pile

March 19, 2025 By D'Ann Mateer

When physical books were my go-to, my TBR (To Be Read, in case you aren’t familiar with the lingo!) pile sat on my nightstand. It started with one or two books as a young, busy mom.

And I’ve learned that such things warrant my close attention! In January of this year, my next-door neighbor began a neighborhood Bible Study on the names of God.

Books on my nightstand

March 4, 2025 By Tamera Alexander

Here are three books I'm currently reading and would highly recommend. And get ready, because I'd love to know what's on your nightstand and if you're enjoying the read! #1 You might already know I'm a fan of Kristi McLelland's Bible studies and teachings. She's an excellent teacher and has a God-breathed gift of communicating the Word through a middle eastern lens, which always informs … [Read more...]
