Good morning from Las Vegas. I am here today for my second day of rehearsals before I speak at the IBM Insight conference tomorrow morning. I am pretty excited. I haven’t become nervous yet. Hopefully I will remain not nervous when I see the venue where I will be speaking later today. I’ve heard there…

Happy Saturday! I am sorry I missed you yesterday. If you follow the MomsToolbox Facebook page, you know yesterday was a rough morning and I was unable to post. This morning I am flying to Las Vegas to speak about my company at IBM’s Insight conference. The last time I flew to Las Vegas, I…

Good morning to you. Yesterday was one of those days thatI felt like I just kept getting hit with frustration at almost every turn. It was not easy. Today’s verse is one I will be repeating to myself over and over if today turns out like yesterday. Here is what grabbed me in Psalm 50:…

Good morning from Houston. This morning’s passage is one that I think really needs to be read in its entirety to get the meaning. At least that was the case for me this morning. Part of the beauty of these personal conversations with God each day is that what stands out to me, the message…

Last night I slept in my own bed. Wooo-Hooo! (Except I think I like the pillows at the hotel where I slept the night before better than the ones at home. Hmmmm. I might need to look into getting new pillows!) This morning was a bit hectic at home getting the kids on their way…

Happy Monday from San Francisco! I’m back on the West coast for, you guessed it, meetings with IBM, and also a few others yesterday and today. Here’s a photo from yesterday’s meeting: (No, we didn’t drink all of that wine and no, not all of my meetings are like that one. But many are. That’s…

Good morning to you. Last night I took my daughter to see a play, Matilda, with some friends of our family and today I’m off to San Francisco again. I only had two nights at home and I’m so thankful I had the time with my daughter last night. She wanted to see the play from…

I’ve been reading today’s passage over and over I am having a hard time determining what is for me. It is a beautiful Psalm, but I think it talks about the glory one man, and the generations behind him, will experience. At the end, I’m not sure if that verse is directed to God or…

Happy Friday to you. I’m on my way to the airport after a quick stay in New York City, posting from the car. I hope your week has gone well and you have a great weekend planned. I’m certainly looking forward to spending some time with my family before my next journey. I read the…

Good morning from New York City! Two days ago I was invited to come to New York to discuss Wine4.Me with reporters alongside others on the IBM Watson team. You bet I said “yes,” and made the trip happen. Of course I am looking forward to my meetings today. Before then, of course, I gotta…

Here’s what I heard in Psalm 42 using SOAP: Scripture: Psalm 42: 11 Why are you cast down, O my soul, and why are you in turmoil within me? Hope in God; for I shall again praise him, my salvation and my God. Observation: Why am I facing unrest and frustration? I cannot let this bring…

Good morning. Today’s SOAP talks about grace from several angles… and reminds us of the opportunities we have to show it. Here’s what I heard in Psalm 41 using SOAP:

Good morning from Texas! I am glad to be back home, having slept in my own bed last night. (Wooo-Hooo!) I arrived home from London Friday, but then went camping with my family and about 35 other families whose kids also attend the school my children do. I opted to unplug for the weekend, but…

I’ve read through Psalm 39 several times this morning and I had a tough time pulling just one verse out to SOAP. I felt like, in doing that, I may get it out of context and I didn’t want to do that. If you can click over and read all of Psalm 39. I believe…

Last night I had the most amazing culinary experience of my entire life. It was at a restaurant in London called Parlour. I’m debating with myself as to how much to write about it, so as not to give away the whole experience and ruin it for others, but just know that if you are…
