I love this picture that I captured in our neighborhood. This little swing begs for a child to be pushed underneath the branches of this majestic oak. It has a storybook feel to it and almost gives you the sense that all is right with the world. I find myself longing for these simplistic moments.… Read More
My friend Michael Ann and I have known each other for 36 and 1/2 years. We were both PK’s (preacher’s kids) and we were in the same homeroom together in high school. We even share the “Rentz” last name—I was born a Rentz, she married a Rentz. On top of that–we both love to travel,… Read More
I hope you hear my heart behind the video today. I have been soul-searching–I hope you are challenged to do your own searching. I pray that you will be gracious with your words no mater your response to others.
This week we are getting blessed by Mrs. Katie Burgess. She is a precious new mama, wife to Austin, and fantastic hair stylist. As a bonus she is also the pastor’s wife at Elim Baptist Church where our son, Jordan and his wife Tricia attend. She is bringing us a good word on the Hope… Read More
Yesterday morning I lit the candles on the back deck, rearranged the pillows and snuggled deep onto the day bed, took the first sips of morning coffee, and slowly watched the remaining of the dark night fade away to the morning sun over the banks of the lake.

I’m vlogging again this week. Click on the video this week to catch this no makeup video on how we define success in our life. Hope you enjoy!
I find it interesting that a couple of our more recent verses have to do with this idea of “pressing on” and “persevering through” the race the Lord has given each of us. Perhaps we are all at the end of our “corona virus ropes” and need the push to continue on running the race… Read More
My husband bought me flowers, dark chocolate, and an organic grassfed, lean steak (I’ve given up red meat, and pork on a day-to-day basis). This event is definitely worth celebrating with a little splurge–I think I ate 4 oz. total of the delish New York Strip steak. Nope–It’s not our Anniversary, Birthday or any such… Read More
Joshua 1:9 has been one of my favorite verses for years. There is a little song I learned while teaching at a private school that helped me memorize the verse. Over the years I sang this song with my kids and even by myself when I needed to be reminded of the power in these… Read More
