    Keep Showin' Up a Talk with Tuck

    What joy!  In today's episode of Keep Showin' Up, I had a great chat with my oldest and wildly independent son, Tucker. We talked about tractors and farming, the easy and the hard parts of learning, and why I let him quit school at 16 and get his GED. He encouraged me, and I hope our chat encourages you!  Thanks for showin' up!

    Keep Showin' Up to Journal Your Prayers

    When you hear the word "journal," what's the first thing that comes to mind?   Maybe you're the gal who has dabbled with journaling because you love colorful notebooks and fun pens but have never really made it a daily practice.   Is the whole idea of journaling a bit daunting or intimidating? At some point or another, I have been all of the above, but when I started journaling for real, my life changed.   Tune in for today's episode for more on transforming laundry lists of requests into intimate conversations with Jesus.
