Kingsman: The Secret Service – A Review
I love movies. I really, really do. But being a homeschool mom, I rarely get to go to the theater to see movies. Let alone, grown up movies. So this week when all my kids were off at VBS, my hubby and I decided to do some catching up and Kingsman: The Secret Service was one of our choices. Set in England, this movie is about a highly elite and completely secret group of people that are battling evil every day – but we don’t know about it. They wear beautifully tailored suits. They espouse gentlemanly (and gentlewomanly) values. And they have the best gadgets. Imagine a whole group of…

Guest Post: Three Ways to Pray for Our Military
After my American Sniper post the other day, I had a lot of discussion (via email, Facebook, and Twitter) about the dynamics of the military family. So when I received this article about praying for the military family, I thought it would be a good fit! THREE WAYS TO PRAY FOR OUR MILITARY By Jeremy Stalnecker I am often asked what can be done to support the men and women of our military. While there are a lot of good answers to that question, care packages are always appreciated especially if they have chocolate chip cookies, some answers may be more helpful than others. As people of faith we believe…

What American Sniper Taught Me About My Marriage
I’ve been a military spouse for 18 years. My husband has technically been out of the military for about two years, but I’ll explain my reasoning for using present tense in a bit. With all of those years of experience, I am able to say that I know a little about being a military spouse. I’m not saying that facetiously either. I am well aware that my experience as a spouse is not the same as many other spouses and that the world of military spouses is far larger than just my bubble of knowledge. I know just enough to understand that I have a deep respect for every military…

Plumb’s new album: Exhale
I had the privilege of interviewing Plumb a few years ago when I was working with Jill Hart on Christian Work at Home Ministries radio. During that interview, the two of us experienced a blessed connection and I’ve been honored to call her friend since then. I’m excited to share that she has a new album out and of course, it’s fabulous. Once I heard it, I knew that there was no way I could not share this with you! Here’s what she had to say on her Facebook page about it: Hey guys, just wanted to share a personal note about my new album,EXHALE. The title comes from something…

Book Review: Unselfish – Love Thy Neighbor as Thy Selfie
Unselfish: Love thy Neighbor as thy Selfie by Paul Parkinson Genre: Non-fiction Publisher: Unselfish Stories Date: May 5, 2015 The world is wrapped around itself. If you don’t believe that, all you have to do is watch the news or look at pretty much any social media outlet. Populated with stories about “my rights” and “I need” that are punctuated with a constant flow of people holding a camera up to snap pictures of themselves, it’s really not hard to see the trend. So it’s a like a refreshing breath of clean air when a book comes out that highlights what people are doing for others. A big, beautiful book…
