Glee and Other Thoughts – The Chronicles of the Donovan Clan
I hope you read the comments from my Monday post, Television and Our Kids. There are some very wise parents who offered their thoughts and reflect on some of their past interactions with regard to their children and the media. I am deeply troubled over the direction television programing is headed. It is reflective of…

Television and our Kids
So I’m bugged. And I’m going to have to chat about it. I’m opening up a bucket of worms in controversy. But if we as believers don’t talk about some of this stuff how are we going to help one another? So I’m bugged about television. On several levels. I may not have all of…

If I were God, I Would Zap Him
Christians are judgmental. Yep, we’re not supposed to be yet often we save our harshest judgment for other Christians. Sometimes I find myself in this very place. I hate it when I live in the land of judgment. So, I have to tell you that there are times when I’m truly glad I’m married to…

The Christmas Letter
Okay, you usually fall into two camps when it comes to this funny and strange tradition of a family Christmas letter. You love ’em or hate ’em. I LOVE THEM. Now I know they are usually filled with sickening sweet recollections of all the amazing and fantastic things that occurred in the year and sometimes…

Deck the Halls and the Dog
Yesterday I spent most of the afternoon putting up the Christmas tree. Our tree is a fake tree. Boo! I know. I know. There are two camps those who MUST have a real tree and the rest of us… I promise I’m not a Scrooge… But an artificial tree is in the Donovan home. Our…

Baptism is Happy and Sad
Yesterday as I sat during church, I watched as five individuals gave their testimony and were baptized. I’m nearly always moved to tears when I watch someone become baptized. I pray with diligence as they go under the water, asking the Lord to protect them from the enemy and to grow them up in the…

In-Laws and Prayers
It’s a busy season around the Donovan house so I’m a bit behind in posting this morning. This past weekend I went to visit my son who lives in Las Vegas. On Saturday night, I met my son’s girlfriend’s parents. They are very nice people and I adore his girlfriend. They have been dating for…

I’m Going to Get into Your Business!
On Friday I shared a comment from a reader that really has me thinking. The commenter shares about her spouse: He would announce he was the head of house (I had told him that) he would tease my new faith in public; all the while I would smile and not correct him (thinking it was…

This is Why I Am Married to an Unbeliever
This past weekend, my husband, our daughter and I flew to Sacramento to spend several days with my husband’s mom and dad. Also joining us at the house was my spouse’s brother, his girlfriend and my husband’s cousin, his wife and twin daughters and their grandma, who is my husband’s mother’s sister. Hunh? Are you…

False Hope?
Last Monday many of you tuned in and listened to my video log entitled, Powerful One Sentence Prayer. Thanks for tuning in and listening. I was moved by your many thoughtful and hopeful comments.

Get Real.. A Few More Questions:
Next Question: Part I Part II Part III Interview: From Cindi on April 5, 2010: Jesus was there with you so what a great interview. It touched me. I am constantly intrigued to know just how your husband supports you so much with this ministry but does not believe. When he heard the interview, how…

An Anniversary; So Happy, So Melancholy
Take a look at these. I don’t think I have received red roses in a very long time. 12 perfect blooms. As I am writing this it is Sunday evening and we celebrated our 18th wedding anniversary today. We went out to dinner last night and toasted our life together. My husband told me how…

Partner With God and See the Wonders
Psalm 40:5 Many, O LORD my God, are the wonders you have done. The things you planned for us no one can recount to you; were I to speak and tell of them, they would be too many to declare. The past couple of weeks I shared with you how I fell off the Hope…

Chronicles of the Donovan Clan – Wordless
It’s scary being a parent. I’m probably not alone in that I fret about how my kids will turn out. I think it is often doubly scary to be a parent in an unequally yoked home. There is more compromise in a divided home when parents have differing worldviews. My husband and I have disagreed…
