I just asked Claire if she would go beyond putting her dirty dishes from lunch in the sink and actually rinse them off and put them in the dishwasher. And you know what? She looked at me as if I’d asked her if she wanted some candy!! And then proceeded to proudly and happily do as I had asked. She’s been making her bed by herself for almost a year now, but maybe it’s time to up the anty…

Lisa is a grateful, born-again follower of Jesus Christ who has spent her adult life on the Gospel in several global contexts. She is the wife of one wonderful, jungle-gym of a man, who is to her the single most ravishing piece of flesh on planet earth (stolen good-heartedly from Christine Caine). She is a dedicated home educator to their four beautiful children, ages 6 to 12, whom she would be happy to gush over any time. She is an avid reader and a storyteller, an aspiring writer, a missionary to the nations and a singer of His praises, a loyal friend, an obsessive-compulsive Googler, and comedienne extraordinaire on her best days. She would also like to think that she is a loyal and loving, truth-telling friend.
