My daughter Allie took this shot of her aunt and cousin on the beach at sunset. I thought it captured the special kind of love shared by a mom and her son, as they combed the beach for treasure. It seemed a particularly appropriate photo for this Mother’s Day post.
If you are a Mom and need some encouragement in the parenting journey, here’s an excerpt from Angela Thomas’ book Tender Mercy for a Mother’s Soul which pays tribute to mothers who invest so much into the lives of their children. Audio linked here.
Happy Mother’s Day!

My kids have been captivated by the classic “Narnia” series by C.S. Lewis. They loved the film release of “Lion, Witch and The Wardrobe.” And my girls, in particular, are exceptionally enthusiastic about seeing the next film in the series, “Prince Caspian.”
Here’s an unique conversation with Douglas Gresham, Lewis’ step-son, about his relationship with “Jack,” and the legacy left by that great writer and man of faith. You won’t hear this kind of information anywhere else!

I have three teens, although the oldest is soon turning twenty. Yikes, how’d I get old enough to have a 20 year-old?! While we’re “graduating” one into full-fledged adulthood, we still have five to go. I think by the time we’re done with theis phase of the parenting journey we’ll be experts about what to do - and what not to do - when helping your teen grapple with life.
If you have one or more teenagers I’m certain you’ll find this conversation helpful, based on nationwide research and full of biblical insights and practical application.
Forum Alert! Also for moms and dads with teens, stop by our parenting forum for details about a special appearance by Shaunti and Lisa. Good stuff!

Last August our family went out for one final hike together before sending our oldest off to college. Here we are on the back side of Pikes Peak. Beautiful!
As I write this post, Dakota is finishing up his first year at Hillsdale College in Michigan. It has been a great experience for him, and we’re grateful for all that God has done in his life during the past nine months.
BTW: If you read my article in the KLTY magazine about preparing your high school graduate for college, be sure to leave a comment below.

Even though he was officially on sabbatical, Ravi Zacharias still accepted an invitation to speak at a recent conference. And the audience was captivated. You can tell because there was hardly a sound as he spoke - folks were listening with great attention and interest and here’s why.

Although I’m traveling today, I took a few minutes to ask God’s mercy, favor and guidance for this great nation. In case you forgot or are just plain busy, t’s not too late to find a local event and even watch/listen to some of the observances in Washington, DC. Here’s the starting point.

My kids messy? Nooooo.
Just a bit distracted. So they forget what’s in their pockets. So those clothes get into the washer and deposit their little goodies. So the assembled mess cost me a $60 service call to pull ‘em out of the washer’s pump.
What can I do?
Here’s one woman’s answer.
BTW, the pic shows just some of the stuff that really clogged that washer pump.
