I sat down with two of my favorite people in the whole world—my dad and mom, Derrell and Virginia Rentz. We talked one morning a few weeks ago and I interviewed them for the blog. They have such wisdom in their words and mercy and grace in their actions. I truly had one of those… Read More
“Have you not known? Have you not heard? The Lord is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He does not faint or grow weary; his understanding is unsearchable. He gives power to the faint, and to him who has no might he increases strength. Even youths shall faint and be weary, and young… Read More
I met Ashley at church after our move to Jesup, GA a little over 2 years ago. She has a kind, sweet spirit and is tuned into the heart of Jesus. This past year, before Covid, we participated in a Bible Study group together at church. Each week we would write our name and prayer… Read More
My beautiful friend Ginny has a contagious laugh and a bright soul–you know one of those personalities that exudes joy. She taught my Hannah in 2nd grade at Crooked River Elementary. Later, I too taught at CRES. A few years passed and again, we found ourselves with another similarity—we were fighting cancer at the same… Read More
This weekend we got away for a little R & R with our precious friends Kim and Ed Davis and their daughters, Kaitlin and Ashley. We have been friends since 2007 when we met at church—little did we know the joy this friendship would bring us and the sorrow we would feel when they had… Read More

This weeks verse is followed by these powerful words. . . 2 Corinthians 4:8-9 “we are afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed;” Our God continues to work through these earthen vessels… Read More
Today’s guest blogger is one of my own. I didn’t birth him, but God brought Andrew into our lives almost 10 years ago, and he’s been a part of our crazy crew since then. I have watched him grow up and mature into this man who is pursuing God and His will for his life.… Read More
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
