Who am I? So many labels can be applied to any of our lives. I'm a born-again follower of Jesus Christ, a pastor's wife, an author, mother, grandmother, musician, and blogger, and podcaster. "Beyond Common Sense" is a place where I share "Lessons Learned While Walking with Jesus." I have found that not only is God everywhere, but He teaches us through our experiences and common, ordinary examples from His world. From the inchworm to the tragedy of my husband's fall, all of these hold timeless truths handed to us by our heavenly Father to draw us closer to Him. How wonderful! What a privilege to share some of those lessons... with you!

Are we fighting a losing battle? Is it inevitable that our children or grandchildren or great-grandchildren will turn from the Lord? I’m reading Judges two in my devotions: Another generation arose after them who did not know the Lord nor the work which He had done for Israel (Judges 2:10). David Guzik says this: “The … More Fighting History?

Load-bearing Wall
May 18, 2022
If you know anything about construction, you know that a load-bearing wall holds the weight of a floor or the ceiling and roof. Obviously, for this reason, you cannot take that wall out when doing serious remodeling. Do you sometimes feel like a load-bearing wall?
