| Description: | Sometimes, we are given ministries we would not have asked for in a thousand years. This blog is all about mine. I am a stay at home mother of four and my husband runs an inner city ministry in Dallas. We live in the community, the ghetto, the hood, the place you most likely avoid when driving through our fair city. We love it. Seriously, love it. |

For the love of food.
Thanksgiving is hands-down my favorite holiday. Second only to Easter.Easter is hands-down my favorite holiday but it's November, and talking about Easter when the leaves are falling and the air is crisp with the smell of Autum would be, well, ridiculous.Actually, we're in Dallas so the weather now may or may not be the weather we'll be having come Spring, and, since there are still mosquitos trying to consume my children in small bites, it may not be such a stretch.Anyway, we're talking about Thanksgiving - the greatest holiday ever because it revolves around food. Lots and lots of delightful food. Food and football.

They were white or pale blue and adorned with jewels, gold, and fabulousness.I was a Hebrew.May I just say for the record that, after seeing myself in the mirror in a 'to-sack, head-covering, and sash made of ticking, I now, more than ever b

Fall in the city lasts about a day and a half and so last Saturday, Mercy Street grabbed that bull by the horns by celebrating with the First Annual Fall Festival. Next door to the ministry facility is a 20 or so acre field perfect for a community gathering.

An old friend, seasoned in the ministry of the inner city, once used this illustration and it forever changed the way I see and work out the call of the gospel in my life.When his son was little, his greatest joy was to help his daddy do almost anything and everything.

Then he would steady the boy while he wrestled with the nozz
