Interview with Author, Paul Grimshaw
I had the privilege of interviewing author, Paul Grimshaw. I hope you enjoy getting to know him as much as I did! I also hope you read this, click here, and purchase his book! A little about your writing: What is the title of your book? “Travelers of the Gray Dawn” Get us excited about your book! Tell us a little about it! It’s an action-adventure time travel thriller about three Civil War reenactors who accidently travel through an invisible wormhole, and change the course of the Civil War at the Battle of Gettysburg. When they return to 2013, also accidentally, the world has changed. What if the…

Confessing our sins to our children…one mother’s perspective
If you are the owner of a preschooler, you may also be the owner of a Beginner’s Bible. My 5 year-old, Daniel has always been drawn to stories with battles and unlikely hero’s; his favorite being David and Goliath. My 4 year-old, Levi has always claimed the “no-no fruit” as his favorite. He has always found it hard to believe that Adam and Eve made such a “bad choice”. It wasn’t too long ago that we were reading this story together and he said to me, “Mommy, if God told me not to eat the no-no fruit, I would never ever eat it. I wouldn’t even go near it.” “Oh,…

Do you know I’m invisible?
Do you ever feel invisible? I do. I’ve felt invisible in a crowded room and I’ve felt invisible in an intimate small group. When I feel invisible, I often think of Hagar from the Bible.

I absolutely love that. I love knowing that…

Should I laugh or cry about my OCD?
Some things are just not laughable. For instance, I have chronic migraines. I have yet to find a reason to laugh about that…I don’t cry about it either because that just makes it worse. But, OCD is different, at least to me. OCD is something I’ve shed many tears over, but in an effort to live a somewhat peaceful life with this pesky roommate that resides in my head, I’ve also learned to laugh. Let me give you an example. One evening we watched Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows with our kids. Then, right before bed, Chad and I watched an old episode of the X-Files. So, that night…

When Facebook makes me feel lonely…
I don’t want to discount the feelings and struggles of our precious working mothers, but I don’t feel adequate to speak on their behalf. So, if I may, I want to speak on behalf of us “stay at home” moms who sometimes feel lonely. If you’re a stay at home mom, you know what I mean when I say our routines are ever changing. There have been times over the years when I have laughed at the title, “Stay at home mom” because I was NEVER AT HOME! But, there have been other seasons of life when home is exactly where I was…and it seemed like I was never anywhere…
