    Good for her.

    And “they” make me so weary. She said “I believe”. And folks immediately say “government shouldn’t discriminate against” and all sorts of other sweeping statements.

    She expressed her personal opinion and belief. She did not make a law, attack anyone else, or do anything inflammatory. Why are “we” the only ones who have to be tolerant of those with different beliefs?!

    I was clapping my hands all by myself in my living room last night after she answered that question. Sad thing, though, I knew it would cause an uproar! And it did. Go girl!

    That is so great that she was willing to ACTUALLY say what she believes. Very proud of her!

    what ticks me off is that they asked that question in the first place
    They were totally setting her up
    It use to be that the contestants had questions about politics, education or the environment
    To ask that a question about same sex marriage is ridiculous
    And then to blast her about it is judgemental
    What makes me angry is that the gay-rights supporters want equal rights and want to be heard but when we express our opinions we are blasted and then insulted
    Ok I am going to have to stop now b/c I am on FIRE
    Love you girl

    From moving around the United States, I have noticed that we tend to be prejudiced and make judgments about people from different states…I’m guilty, because as soon as I read about this, I thought, “Wow…and it’s coming from Miss California?!” Good for her for speaking her mind, and shame on those who would try to deny her the freedom to have her belief and speech. Beware, though…as one of our favorite pastors used to say, “First we are expected to tolerate, then embrace, then that’s not enough, and we have to celebrate.” You can see it, can’t you?! Getting off the soapbox and going to rummage for some dinner!
    Lisa, hope you and the family had a great, restful trip!

    Isn’t it astounding how she’s getting flack for this? Why not appreciate and support her strength for speaking the truth, her truth and how she lives and conducts her life?

    I think she should have gained points for living true to her word. Our good name is all we have on this earth. Stand up for what you belive in. YOU GO GIRL!

    I saw her on The Today show today. I’m so proud of her.

    And Perez Hilton…barf on him for not allowing her to have an opinion contrary to his own.

    Word.

Welcome!

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!

My Book

Are you a ministry wife who could use words of encouragement for navigating the ins and outs of serving the church? I wrote a book for that very purpose. Check it out here!
