Menu Monday: Chicken & Broccoli Casserole

March 25, 2013July 15, 2020Mary Jo2 Comments on Menu Monday: Chicken & Broccoli Casserole

Crazy weather we’re having, I think it’s affecting my kids appetites. That or they are turning into the voracious food vacuums people warned me about when I was chasing their mouths around with a spoon full of mashed peas. Owen is eating more than I a…

They Upend Me

March 15, 2013July 15, 2020Mary Jo1 Comment on They Upend Me

And I’ve learned, that someone who is poured out, can’t be upended. I’ve learned that I find refreshment in refreshing them. I’ve learned that it is only when I insist on keeping myself upright, that I am losing control.

The Ruler Yet

February 21, 2013July 14, 2020Mary Jo5 Comments on The Ruler Yet

Owen was quiet and thoughtful on the way home from church last night. When I asked them all who had a good time he was hesitant and finally said, “I had a bad night in ministry team.”
