There’s a saying that goes, “It hit me like a mac truck.” How many of you can relate to that quote during the holiday season? Well, this gal certainly can---literally. Three years ago, as I was walking in to speak at a high school FCA, I was literally hit by an SUV! The security cameras [...]
It’s hard to believe that we have officially turned the calendar to November, right? Thanksgiving is coming soon—but the opportunity to teach ThanksLIVING to our kiddos is for TODAY! Whether our “children” are 2 or 32, God has positioned us as “teachers” NOW to prepare the hearts of the next generation to live thankfully—all year [...]
Happy Fall, y'all! From the title of our HeART of Womanhood “Portraits” Bible Studies, you can tell that this girl has a heart for art. As a result, the colorful masterpieces God paints for us with His fall foliage in Kentucky---make this my favorite season of the year. And as a gal whose family lived [...]
It's fall y'all! The weather is cool. The leaves are changing. Sweatshirts are welcomed. Another sign of fall for our family? Friday night high school football games! Because my hubby and I work in ministry with Fellowship of Christian Athletes, we cheer on different teams in our city each week. The stadiums and school colors [...]
This past month The Wigs had a ton of power stored in our house! Yep. Thanks to a few FCA coaching families who run a firework stand each summer, our neighborhood gang enjoys a spectacular display after dark every 4th of July! My hubby loves the names on the boxes of these colorful explosives. Fireworks [...]
Congratulations for making it to JUNE! The longer I live, the more I believe that May is perhaps even “busier” than December—with graduations, promotions, end of school programs, banquets, finals, projects, spring sports, recitals, showers, weddings, Mother’s Day, our anniversary, and family birthdays… etc. Perhaps we should rename last month May-cember, right? Whether it’s purchasing [...]
As a young girl I remember seeing Better Homes & Gardens magazine arrive in our mailbox each month. Mom would take a break from her work to “sit a spell” and be encouraged by the practical articles and the pretty photographs. Seeing our stack of magazines on the coffee table was an inspiring sight. Why? [...]
Tuesday is trash day at the Wigginton house. Yep. Every Tuesday morning, we roll our jam-packed trash cans to the street. And every Tuesday our wonderful trash and recycle guys carry away our collective mess. When our daughters were little, they looked forward to trash day. When they heard the huge truck rumbling down the [...]
Years ago, for a splash of pizazz, I added a black chalkboard paint border close to the ceiling in our Kentucky kitchen. On this border encircling our hub of family activity, my husband suggested that we write each family member’s name, birthdate, and favorite Bible verse. That night at the dinner table we asked our [...]
No bones about it. I was a non-athletic girl. Have you ever heard someone say, “Well, I don’t have an athletic bone in my body”? Yep. That was me. Ironically, God’s sense of humor included match-making this artsy, musical, studious gal with a superb athlete. My hubby was even a man called into a life-time [...]
