For many Pastor’s wives, Wednesday nights (or whatever night you have midweek services) are, quite possibly, the WORST day of the week. Especially when it comes to getting a decent dinner on the table, the kids fed, cleaned up, and being *reasonably* on time for midweek service. Unfortunately, the back up plan is to just run through [...]

Love Notes to Hubs

Ministry goes through seasons. For me, right now is a busy season! Unfortunately, it is during those busy seasons that we begin to forget things. Sometimes it’s no big deal. I forgot to make a vegetable to serve with dinner last night. Oh well. But sometimes it’s highly important. Like forgetting to pick up your [...]

Wowee-wow-wow….it’s been CrAzY busy this last week!! Whew… Last week we had the privilege to go to the Ohio Ministry Network’s minister’s retreat. It was at Kalahari Resort & Indoor Water Park in Sandusky, OH. It was insanely fun! If not, absolutely exhausting. My favorite part, if you can’t figure out, was the opportunity to [...]
