tobyMac – Speak LifeAm I the only person that always puts her foot in her mouth? I never think before I speak, but rather after and end up apologizing A LOT! This song is a reminder that our words carry weight. We can heal or hurt with a simple word and yet we are not careful with our tongues. I have seen words destroy friends and even families. It’s time to not only guard my… … Continue reading
7-year-old writes Lego complaining about its lack of toys for girls I love the spunk of this little girl! Next time I need something done I’m going to recruit her! It’s amazing that at such a young age she already noticed that the boy Legos got to have more adventures! I love that Lego is actually going to try to create more female Legos with careers. Even 7 years old can make a difference! … Continue reading
Live life to the fullest. You hear this saying all the time and even see it plastered all over home decor, but how do we really do it? I think the grandma dancing in this video gets it! She probably does not move as well as she used to and it might even be a little painful to get her “groove on” now, but she still does it! No matter how embarrassing, she wanted to… … Continue reading
I think I’m never drinking soda again…I have always been a lover of Coca-Cola. I even think my roommate is obsessed with it. There is nothing like a good cold Coke with a meal, however this article made me realize how bad it is for our bodies. I try to limit my intake of soda, but this article has convinced me to swear off the stuff. If it can clean car batteries and take blood… … Continue reading
When the Church Becomes a Part of the Community. Some say the church is dead. Some say the church claims to “love” it’s neighbors but then hides within it’s own walls. But I SAY the church is learning more now than ever how to love those that need it most. More and more churches seem to be getting it now. They are reaching out and finding amazing ways to truly show love on their community… … Continue reading

Give a child a chance to not only survive, but to grow up and change their country! It didn’t look like much. Just a fence built on a hill with some crosses above it, but I quickly found out that this hill holds pain for so many in Haiti. After the earthquake there were so many bodies that they had to have mass burials. This is one large grave outside the city for so many… … Continue reading

Hunger. I think it’s something we all rarely experience unless we choose it, but for many people in Haiti, hunger is their normal state. I learned today that most people in Haiti, if they are lucky, eat one meal a day! Just one! If I don’t have three meals a day then my stomach lets me know that it’s angry! Imagine you are a parent with several children and today is your third day in… … Continue reading
