My dear friend Susan Yates and I wrote a book in 2008 about the experience of your last child leaving the nest. This transition from living at home to living in the big world is usually exciting for 18-year-olds but not always for their moms. The empty nest experience is as old as the earth. In this podcast Susan and I talk about the commonalities of launching kids and moms being left behind wondering “now what do I do?” For any mom of a senior in high school this is must listening!

One of the advantages of being married for over 40 years is learning the essence of what God designed in me as a woman who is also a wife. Being a married woman is not a science but an art. It’s always individualized. It’s always one of a kind. Give 100 people an 8x10 canvas, three tubes of oil paint, brushes and a palette knife and you will get 100 different results. Yet all marriages, all 100 of these painters, began with the same tools. In this series of podcasts I talk about the basic...

Stability is always a need in our souls. It seems though at times of crisis in our lives and in our world to rise to the level of urgency. The psalmist wrote of feeling the earth shake beneath, of needing the Rock of Christ for security. In this series I talk about some of what God has taught me about trusting Him in especially challenging times.

In this podcast I had the privilege of talking with my daughter Laura about memories of Christmases in our home when she was growing up. We also talked about our failed attempts at Advent and a new way to celebrate advent today. We had a great time and I think you will enjoy this happy conversation.

In this conversation I talk the dawning realization that the celebration of Christmas in the last few decades has become about everything other than Jesus. The majority of our decorating features snowmen, reindeer, stockings, toys and of course the ever present Santa, none of which have anything to do with the Incarnation. What if Christians made Jesus the central focus on this holiday? What would that look like? Listen to find out!
