Weekend Retreat: Dealing with Military Wife PTSD. Is that a thing?

Weekend Retreat: Dealing with Military Wife PTSD. Is that a thing?

This retreat was 100% necessary. It is hard for me to even sit here and describe how desperate I was to get away two weeks ago because I returned fully restored, better than before. I am on the other side of that mental wall of misery now. Life is good and happy again, and I fully mean that. When I packed my bags and left Alan with the boys, I did not even fully grasp why I need this so […]

How the Sumerian King List Relates to the Bible

Of all the ancient artifacts I have studied, the Sumerian Kings list brings the largest “wow” factor to me, outside of the claims of the Bible itself.

Well, if you’re from that region, you might laugh at this question because Crete is […]

How to Start Your Day off With Positivity

It is so important to start your day off with positivity! The news, your Facebook, TikTok, Instagram, those things are all iffy. Let’s talk about a better way to start your day. Every morning I wake up, and I do the same first few things. In the summer, I sleep a little later, and I still kind of zombie-walk down to the kitchen, pour my coffee, and plop myself down on a sofa. Sometimes, on my way to the sofa, […]
