No CommentsReading "Which Way the Wind Blows"
As a teenager I was very blessed to have some great mentors, including Don Cremer, my manager when I worked at the local newspaper. I was part of a very passionate youth group, but Don was one of the few adults I knew who was equally passionate about living a life devoted to God and...

No CommentsThe Green Bible
I have always been puzzled by the divide between Christians and environmentalists. In my view, Christianity is rooted in the concept of stewardship, particularly over creation.

No CommentsThe Littlest Notre Dame Fan
This pic is of my niece wearing my Notre Dame hat. Isn’t she adorable? Whenever I see her, she’s always fascinated with a hat or necklace or earrings I’m wearing… she’s quite the two-year-old fashionista. I can’t wait to see her and her mommy in a few weeks!! By the way, the Notre Dame Fighting...

No CommentsThe Whole Life Website is Down
Just wanted to let everyone know that I took down The Whole Life website today. Since Chris and I are looking at a change of direction, I decided that this is one project I may need to let go of for a while. I still have ideas and vision stirring in my heart for it,...

No CommentsBits and Pieces
Last night I went out for a girls’ night with my friend Kim Stiles. She’s a little bit older than me, married with three fantastic kids, and I really love hanging out with her. We went to dinner at the Macaroni Grill and then to the Rave to see The Women. Critics gave the film...
