Happy Valentine’s Day!

I hope you’ll celebrate this day of love with me at CWO’s Internet Cafe’!

Extravagant Love

I am admittedly one of the most unthoughtful people on the planet. Remembering birthdays, sending the encouraging card, and picking up the phone just to say ‘hey’ are just not my strong points. Because I am not a girl who needs these things, I forget that others do. And, just so you know, saying I don’t need someone to express love towards me is not giving myself a compliment. It’s actually a very enormous independence problem I have that I’ll work to overcome until the day I die. Read more…..

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!

Happy Valentine’s Day!

UPDATED: No, this is not our tornado

Judging by the sound of crickets chirping, I'm the only one not out to dinner?
