Marriage Guardrails: How to Protect Your Relationship Before It Hits the Wall
Drag racing is dangerous. My husband, Bobby, is a professional funny car driver, and over the years I’ve watched more racecars crash than I care to remember. Our sport has worked to be safe, and almost every time, drivers walk away without even a scratch. But there is damage. The two most common safety issues in drag racing are cars catching fire and cars hitting the wall. Often, the two happen at the same time. Bobby has been on fire three times. I thank God that’s he’s never been hurt in the car. I would walk 500 miles, and I would walk 500 more just to… never see that again.…

Grace At Crunch Time – Find God’s Gift in Life’s Chaos
Christmas is about grace. I have a car named Grace, and it’s not a coincidence. Sometimes we find God’s gift in life’s chaos. It was the night before Thanksgiving, and I was in a tizzy. The next day was our church’s Thanksgiving Dinner for the Community, and I was the coordinator. Still so much to do. I was driving home from work later than planned and was on the phone with my mom discussing to-dos. Out of nowhere, a car crossed the intersection, and I drove right into it! My body flew forward, and my phone went flying! I hit my knee on the dash and my forehead on the…
