If We Can’t Take Care of a Cabbage…

My #2 son is in 3rd grade and this year, Bonnie Plants gave each of the school children a cabbage plant to use in a ‘Grow the Biggest Cabbage in Alabama’ contest. Ours started out well but apparently a small animal located the new flora and promptly ate it until it was nothing but a 3 inch stalk sticking out of the ground.

On Friday, #2 brought home a sunflower he had started from seed to give me for Mother’s Day. When he showed it to me he said,

“After what we did with the cabbage, I can not believe my teacher thought we could be trusted with another living thing.”

Someone go ahead and call Children’s Services – cause if I can’t be trusted with a cabbage and a sunflower, how in the world are the 4 kids going to survive?!

Hi... I'm Lisa and as the tagline says, also a preacher's wife. I began this website in 2007 just prior to the Facebook revolution when mom blogs were a relatively conflict-free zone for sharing recipes and stories about our latest parenting fails. Fast-forward a few years... Luke and I continue to serve the same family of believers in North Alabama where we've called home for over 16 years. The boys are grown and gone, we have an incredible daughter-in-law and the baby McKay is living her best life as an only child while working and going to college. I am a full-time corporate employee and still love to write and teach Scripture. The last two years haven't been kind to public events but it's been during these trying times that the Lord has revealed the importance of the local church reclaiming discipleship using the gifts of those within the body. The time feels right to refresh the blog as a platform for sharing how God has worked through this process and perhaps encourage other churches to follow. And who knows, there may even be a recipe or more parenting fails. Those don't stop when your kids become adults. Thank you for visiting.. I look forward to connecting!
