Continue reading →: When the Cast Iron Gets Too HeavyI don’t know who lied to me, but somewhere along the way, I became convinced cast iron wasn’t that heavy. Maybe when I was younger, it wasn’t. Maybe my muscles were stronger. Or maybe I was just too stubborn to admit it. And if you’ve ever owned cast iron, you…

Continue reading →: Chocolate Cobbler, Burnt Fingers, and Half-Painted BathroomsToday I woke up determined to do absolutely nothing. Not because I was being lazy, but because I realized I’d be running for weeks. Between work, projects around the house, and life in general, I needed one day without a schedule. No deadlines. No appointments. No commitments. Just a day…

Continue reading →: When Appreciation Turns Into ExpectationThe older I get, the more I realize that some of the most important people in our lives are also the easiest to overlook. Not because we don’t love them. Not because we’re ungrateful. But because they’re always there. They’re the ones who answer the phone. The ones who show…

Continue reading →: Biscuits, Gravy, and GraceThe other day, we were at a restaurant, fully enjoying the biscuits and gravy. Nothing fancy, just one of those good ol’ Southern places where the biscuits are hot and fresh, and the gravy is like a gift sent down from Heaven above. Conversations overlap, coffee cups being refilled, and…

Jesus says not to throw your pearls before pigs. And I thought, well, now… that’ll preach. Because if you’ve ever watched a pig,…

Continue reading →: My Search History Says I Need ChickensThe Algorithm of the Heart and Other Holy Oddities I was thinking the other day about how funny it is that what we’re looking for, that’s what we tend to find. It’s like when you finally buy that new vehicle. Before that, you hardly noticed them. Afterwards? You can’t drive…

Continue reading →: Regular Folks, Regular Days, Real JesusFor most of my life, I thought being “ordinary” was the worst possible outcome. Nobody ever said, “Grow up and be average, honey!” No – we were told to stand out, sparkle, hustle, be exceptional, build a platform, or at least have matching throw pillows. Meanwhile, I was just over…

Continue reading →: When Faith Cries at 2:30 A.M.I’m going to be a little vulnerable and honest with you. Over the past few nights, sleep hasn’t come easily. I toss and turn, roll from one side to the other, and somewhere around 2:30 in the morning, my mind takes over. People often comment about how strong a person…

Continue reading →: Relationships and Interest RatesWhen people hear the word investment, they usually think stocks, retirement accounts, or that one cousin who always has some new business idea they swear they will make it big with. But truth be told, we all invest, every single day. We invest our time, energy, and heart into people,…
