I was blog surfing tonight and ran across this random picture (brillant!) on a blog called Very Random Thoughts. Wha??? I have no words for this one. Can I borrow yours?

I hate bowling. Hate it. So, why in the world would I want to fly to Las Vegas and bowl 100 frames (99 of which will go directly into the gutter)? Easy… I love XXXChurch and what this ministry is doing for men, women, and families effected by pornography addiction and the sex industry.
Anyone familiar [...]

This is my home for the night:

I’m all of 4 miles from my house in this lovely Marriott suite (notice the cozy fire in the background) courtesy of my husband. I’m behind on my writing goals for the month so I am here for the night while he looks after our three kids for the [...]

I’m taking a quick break from my blogging break to ask for a bit of prayer. I’ve moved into the writing process (if you’re new to my blog, I’m writing a book for wives whose husbands struggle with porn) and things have been going well, very well. I hope to have two chapters complete by the [...]

One of the biggest things that happened to me in 2009 was that I started using Twitter. Crazy to think that it would have a big impact on my life, but it did. One of the many blessings it brought was expanding my reading to authors and bloggers that were otherwise unknown to me. I [...]

I read a lot of blog posts. A lot. As we close the door on 2009 I wanted to share with you what I think was absolutely the best blog post that I read in 2009. Jonathan McIntosh wrote a post for his site, Rethink Mission, in September that was thought provoking, timely, balanced, and [...]

Yes, I’m still alive… however, I am taking a mild blog break over the next week or two. If you’re wondering what I’m up to, here’s the scoop:

I started writing the book. It’s harder than I thought!
I’m launching a new site to go along with the book. The site will be up in about two [...]

I’m blessed to have a wonderful community of writers that I have become friends with. Thier work, friendship, and constant encouragement inspire me to keep writing every day. One of those good friends, Tam, has asked me to write for her blog today. I’m honored. You can read what I wrote here.
If you are visiting [...]

Confession: If you sent me a Christmas letter this year, I have probably only skimmed it. Sorry. I know, I know, I’m an awful friend and an even more awful family member. But, really? I just chatted with you on Facebook like yesterday so I can’t imagine that too much has changed.
I will admit that I’ve [...]

I thought I would take a break from normal blogging to update everyone on a few exciting things that are going on in my world and ask for a little bit of prayer. So, here’s what’s new:

I’m super excited to finally announce that I’m writing a book (yes, you read that correctly). An unbelieveable opportunity has [...]

Many people have asked me why in the world I use Twitter. I’ll be honest, I started using it simply to promote my blog. It has become so much more than that. In fact, it has become something that I have been very thankful for this year. Some of the connections that I have made [...]

I posted this on the Real Life blog last week in celebration of National Adoption Month and thought I would repost it here in case you missed it. Thanks!
I was adopted when I was three months old. My first home was an orphanage in Vietnam, one of many orphanages that housed thousands of children born [...]

I’m up late writing, a task which has me focused on a lot of bad things that we have been through in the past (more on that in a later post). Anyway, everyone is asleep and it’s just me and my thoughts coming back to life on a blank page. I can already tell that [...]

Thank you everyone for making grace week so special for myself and the thousands of readers who read these posts and comments. I really have enjoyed the conversation and will definitely be doing something similar soon!
