Today, I pray for my son, and for all moms praying for their sons. It is a special thing, when I hear another mom talk about her son. Mine is beginning his last year of high school, and my prayer is simple and direct. I pray for safety always, and for God’s guidance in those small but impactful decisions he will begin to make this year, and to finish school strong. Whew! The journey has not always been easy up to this point, but I can look back and clearly see God’s hand and blessings through the smiles and tears over the years.

I saw a young boy, about 3 years old, sitting in the sand. He had made a fortress of sandcastles, shaped from those little plastic molds, all lined up around him on each side.

And my son has now finished school for the year and is away at summer camp. No more pre-dawn morning rush out the door, driving 30 minutes across town to school and talking […]

A small, intricate shelf sits just inside the front door of my house. I call it my teacup shelf. It is a narrow shelf with five levels, and filled with all sorts of varied teacups I have collected or received over the years. Some of them are old, some new, some are sentimental, and some are just for fun. Most of the teacups resemble a familiar English rose pattern found in almost any roadside antique store. None would seem too priceless, except for maybe one. And that is where my story begins. Prominently displayed in the center of the top shelf is a fragile and chipped teacup.
