Where’s My Happy Ending?
Like a royal convention, princesses flitted across the floor in silk, tulle and satin. There were small ones, tall ones, different ages, sizes, and shapes. As if in regal carriages,…
Just a Spoonful of Giggle
Remember the Mary Poppins movie? One of my favorite numbers was “ I Love to Laugh” – it showed different people’s styles of laughing.
I love to laugh – what a great tension release. I laugh a lot. Most of the time, I laugh at myself. I’ve found when I look for funny things I do, it makes daily-ness more enjoyable. I also laugh at jokes, clean comedy and life’s strange occurrences. I try to find humor wherever I am. As believers, we have many reasons to be happy, even joyful. Jesus has given us a lot to be joyful about: Jesus has conquered the power of the grave – He has overcome death.

ICRS interview of Heidi McLaughlin – author of Restless for More
Dear Friends -- It's going to be an AMAZING AUGUST! Each Friday during this month, I will share interviews with those I connected with at ICRS in Cincinnati, Ohio. I am so excited to share this compelling interview with my dear friend, AWSA sister, Heidi McLaughlin. Heidi is currently launching her third book, Restless for More: Fulfillment in Unexpected Places.
Here is how Heidi describes her new book: "We are driven to find life’s greatest meaning and joy. But we have lost our way. The truth is, we’ll never find our deepest fulfillment through more pursuits, accomplishments or doing more. We’ll find it through an intimate, loving relationship with God and through healthy and loving connections with others."

Everyday Shuffle
Are you tired of plodding through life? Like a plane on ‘automatic pilot,’ our prayers can be repetitive, predictable and even humdrum as we go through the motions. Do you ever wonder if God really hears your prayers? The remedy could be as simple as admitting un-confessed sin. Think about how it felt when you first found out how much God loved you! It’s good to be reminded of His presence protecting us even when we were not seeking Him. 3 John 1:9 says, "We love because he first loved us."
