Hey Cher, I’ve been wanting to send this letter to You for some time now, it’s overdue actually. I’ve always thought to myself, if I ever had an opportunity to write to my 25 year old self, what would I say? First of all, I want you to know that you’re doing great. I mean…
Read MoreSharing Faith With Kids by Tryphena Perumalla – Gagnon
Anyone else find parenting these days overwhelming? Sifting through the countless parenting philosophies on how to pass down values and faith can feel downright disorienting.

Read MoreWhat Kind of Woman Do You Want to Be?
What a great, and important question that Melinda is asking us all through this moment as we move from one year to the next: What kind of woman do you want to be? Because the truth is that we get to choose. We didn’t really get to choose the circumstances of our girlhood years and…
Read MoreMake Room For Wonder
If you could be part of that very first Christmas, where would you be? Would it be at the Annunciation? Astounded by Gabriel’s announcement to Mary? Would you want to dance in the amazement of Elizabeth? As the infant-prophet did somersaults in her womb? Would you marvel with Zacharias As he received this bewildering news…
