Holding On to a Dream

January 30, 2012Mary Jo3 Comments on Holding On to a Dream

Just thought I’d share a quick thought today. Nothing too deep, nothing too profound.

God plants little things in each of us.

Talents, abilities and desires are like seeds within us.

He even made us with clay…earth…dirt.

Then He water…

A Gentle Answer

January 23, 2012July 10, 2020Mary Jo5 Comments on A Gentle Answer

I can’t tell you how many times I wish I could take one back. A comment that flew from my mouth had nothing to do with how I felt, it was just “something to say.”

I would venture to guess that 6 out of 10 rude comments from strangers and distant acq…

“Because God…Isn’t Real.”

January 20, 2012July 10, 2020Mary Jo3 Comments on “Because God…Isn’t Real.”

There was a silence that left my stomach in a bit of a knot after hearing those words come out of my four year old yesterday.

Irresistible Word

January 19, 2012Mary Jo3 Comments on Irresistible Word

I tiptoed out into the dark kitchen a little before 6:00 this morning and got some coffee started. There was one brownie left on the plate and I never want to see the boys fighting over something like that (that’s why all mom’s eat dessert right?) so I…

Of Busy Moms and Blow Pops

January 11, 2012July 10, 2020Mary Jo3 Comments on Of Busy Moms and Blow Pops

“When is that ever appropriate?”

That question rolled through my head as the receptionist at the doctor’s office held out a blow pop in front of me as an optional treat for my child. I shook my head and told her we were just about to get some lunch.…

Who is Your God?

January 9, 2012July 16, 2021Mary Jo1 Comment on Who is Your God?

For even though they knew God, they did not honor Him as God or give thanks, but they became futile in their speculations, and their foolish heart was darkened.
Romans 1:21

Who do you worship?
What do you worship?
We, as 21st century Americans…

Kelso Christmas Letter

December 19, 2011November 10, 2017Mary Jo5 Comments on Kelso Christmas Letter

This is the letter I would have put in our Christmas cards this year. I thought I’d save a couple trees, but not all of them. I still sent some cards (I bought a pack of 50…if you didn’t get one it’s because I have too many cousins), I just didn’t pr…

Building a Proper Definition of Love – Part II

December 8, 2011July 9, 2020Mary Jo3 Comments on Building a Proper Definition of Love – Part II

John 15:13 says: “Greater love has no one than this, that one lay down his life for his friends.” That is what I want my boys to hear from my heart. That is God’s love and God’s love is unfailing according to 1 Corinthians 13.
