By Laura Petherbridge – In 1971 rocker Mick Jagger bellowed the familiar lyrics, “I Can’t Get No Satisfaction.” You’ve got to give him credit; he’s attempting every way possible to find what he’s looking for. “I try, and I try, and I try,” yet the poor guy can’t seem to

Get mad? Of course we do! We all do. It’s a basic fact of living within 50 yards of any other human being. And even if we were all hermits, we’d probably still find something to get mad at ourselves for. So what do you do when you get mad
The other day my daughter sinned. She did wrong. She made a mistake. It was clear. It was obvious. It was objective. I was disappointed. I was hurt. I responded in anger. This is not the first time I have gotten angry at my children. My most recurring sin pattern
Welcome to Dr. Ann’s Coaching Corner! This week, CB writes in to get a fresh outlook on her multi-tasked-out life. Is this what “Mommy burn-out” looks like? Dr. Ann, I am 35 years old. I have been married eleven years and we have two boys, a nine and seven year
Marta here: This story is really about Roland’s mother. I love how totally genious she was in preparing her young son to leave Cuba at any given moment. (Also, we have a really cool giveaway today.) As told to Lucy Vega In 1966, little Roly Vega was just 4 years
My illustrator came home from school boasting of how neat he had rewritten a piece of prose for school. Usually, we go round and round about writing, handwriting, that is. “The h’s have to be as tall as the L’s – which need to reach to the top of the
Around Thistle Cove Farm, it pays to have a brave heart. Lily, you may remember, was a barn kitten, saved from being a warm meal of the two barn owls. She’s been in the house for almost three weeks…hard to believe!…and spent the first week being fed with an eyedropper.
The morning starts off with prayer and hope – one leading us in the 23rd psalm, another leading the Lord’s Prayer, and the teen choosing a proverb. I finish off with prayer: Praising God for either the rain that prepares the crops, or the sun that helps the crops grow,

Marta here: Estrella was 10 years old and part of the historic Mariel Boatlift which happened 32 years ago and brought more than 125,000 (!) Cubans to America’s shore and to freedom. Mariel: Remembering the Boatlift By Estrella Diaz-Quibus My parents and I were part of the Mariel boatlift, where
For a bit of time during the last few weeks, I felt much like a tin water bucket left out in the rain, where each soft drip eventually wears away the outward coating, rusting and thinning the inner foundation, until it finally the soft drip has worn a hole. I
By Elizabeth A. Havey – My husband and I are in Jacksonville, Florida, a city of skyscrapers and treed neighborhoods built near the lake-like St. John’s River and the magnificent Atlantic Ocean. We are staying in a Marriott Hotel with a pool and lounging chairs scattered around it, lush mounds
“Meanwhile, friends, wait patiently for the Master’s Arrival. You see farmers do this all the time, waiting for their valuable crops to mature, patiently letting the rain do its slow but sure work” (James 5:7) Waiting – I was never very good at that. Learning to cook – that taught
I was perusing a favorite blog recently, one known to have beautiful images of the everyday events of our lives… and thinking how lovely it would be to sit at such a table and enjoy writing by the light of the oil lamp. One of the reasons I love this
