I love this photo! This is my Grandma Wilkerson. She is my father’s mother, and this photo captures her familiar smile and an expression that I remember fondly. I smile when I think about her. She was such a unique woman. I was blessed with two very different grandmothers. I unfortunately never knew my grandfathers,…

Friendship, Parenting, and the Great Divide

Apr 30, 2018Julie Klose2 CommentsFamily, Life, Politicscharacter values, Friendship, parenting, political division

My son’s middle school does something that I love. Every semester the school hands out character value awards to nominated students. A student is chosen by a teacher for displaying the following values: commitment, integrity, respect, and responsibility. I’ll take a minute to brag that my children have received one of those awards on occasion.…

The Unintentional Message of Life!

Jan 5, 2018Julie KloseFamily, Life, Pro-Lifebabies, children, family, Prolife

All it takes is a “like”, a nod, or a thumbs-up to point to the value of life in the womb. Sometimes the strongest messages of life are accidental. They are chance happenings. An Instagram photo of a pregnant belly at week number 30, a video of unborn twins moving in a mother’s womb, a…

Marriage has made me weak!

When I was dating my husband I wouldn’t let him hold the door open for me. I refused to let him do some of the nice things that a gentleman does for a lady. Why? Because I had this warped notion of what it means to be a female in today’s society. It was so…

The War on Santa!

Dec 6, 2013Julie Klose5 CommentsFaith, FamilyChristmas, Santa

We’ve all heard about the war on Christmas. The politically correct season of “Happy Holidays” or the well wishes for a “Happy Season” without saying the potentially offensive word of CHRISTmas. I admit I use to get wrapped up in that war. I even almost bought one of those bumper stickers that said, “Keep Christ…

Vacation Bible School is important to the life of your church.

Jul 11, 2013Julie KloseFaith, Family

I love Vacation Bible School! There are many reasons why I think VBS is wonderful and I believe every church (no matter how big or small) should commit to making sure VBS is a regular ministry program. I recently read a George Barna Update on the state of Vacation Bible School and I was disappointed…
