From behind the parsonage walls... what it's like being a pastor's wife in the UMC. She/Her 🏳️🌈 ally. Plant mom. Mom of 4. Autism Advocate. Great Dane mom. Honestly, I'm just a Holy Hot Mess.

Life with Marshall, the nosey neighbor. Gorgeous weather brings more walkers/runners/bike riders out in our neighborhood. And Marshall really wants to play with all of them.

It's just that time in the life of a UMC clergy family that every time the phone rings, you wonder if it's the DS.
If you know, you know.

There is a lot going on in our world. Life can be hard. There are also joys to be celebrated.
How can I pray for you this week?

If your Christianity causes you to be offended by someone asking the most powerful person in the country to be merciful towards the powerless, then you have profoundly misunderstood the teachings of Jesus Christ.

On this Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day let's celebrate him for the social disruptor he was... and know that there is still work to be done. Every #MLKday, our family discusses his legacy of unity, justice, and beloved community and asks how we can live this out today.

If you’d like a star word for the year, let me know, I'd be happy to send one to you.
What is a #StarWord? It’s a tradition where people choose a word on Epiphany Sunday or close to it. This is a word chosen to help guide and inspire you on your journey throughout the year.

The first Sunday of #Advent.
What would it look like if you could set aside one day? One afternoon, one hour, even 5 minutes, to find real #peace? A calm, non busy time, of peace.
This #Christmas season, how can we bring peace to our lives? How can we share the peace of Jesus with others?

The first gift of the year is always an ornament from my middle child. He thought he'd be cute and help me hang it on the tree.

When you're prepping for tomorrow's weekly free community lunch and you have a few of your regulars stop by to see if you have any extra food..... you stop and feed them. Always.
