Living Real

Kem Meyer is with us today to share some of her experience with us. I asked several questions, and she chose to answer this one. Enjoy! To see her other interviews, visit her blog.  FAYE: If you were to move to a small church with little to no budget for communications, how would you implement [...]

If you've never met Kem Meyer, you're missed a real experience. She's a vivacious, witty woman with a passion for helping people. She's not so full of herself that she can't laugh at herself, even though she's got lauds & honors galore. I could be a teensy-weensy little bit jaded in her favor. Because of her [...]

Has it ever occurred to you that you're a leader? Yeah, you. Don't look around at the other people there,  Y-O-U.  "I'm not a leader! I'm just a mom, married with two kids and I stay at home!" That's right! You're a leader! Those two kids see your everyday and they learn from it. You [...]

Babies are so cute. Then they grow up. I'm teasing! I love 'em! I'm just glad my job is now spoiling them, not raising them!  On Mother's Day, 2009 we had eight families stand before God and Church of the Cove to covenant together to bring their children up in the nurture and admonition of [...]

I went to the ladies breakfast this morning, unconscious of the fact that a tornado had landed in Magee, Mississippi just a scant 10 miles from where our pastor's extended family lives and his wife is visiting. We talked about that news and heard what had happened to a church there, one where a friend [...]

This past Monday was our 18th anniversary and Jack decided to take me to Gatlinburg to go around the Roaring Fork Motor Nature Trail. Unfortunately the loop was closed because of the season, but we still took some pictures at the Bud Ogle Place and then at the Twin Creeks Picnic Area and at the [...]

Some of you may know that I'm writing a book. It wasn't my idea. Well, I guess sort of it is, I was told a LONG time ago that I was a frustrated writer. I think that was when I filled out my departure paperwork when I left Walt Disney World's employ.  About a year [...]

I have a new husband.  Jack's always been a man of compassion and love, with that spark of silliness to boot, but he's different now. He accepted God's call to go someplace he wasn't really looking to go to. He went to Haiti.  He saw garbage-laden streets. He smelled the filth and the sewage. He [...]

Pete Wilson posted about this man late last week, and I frankly couldn't decide what I thought about this whole deal. This morning I saw an interview with the guys who did the website and claim to be helping this man.  Check out the website. Watch the video. Still can't say how I feel about if [...]

Time for the new year. Wow. I'm not sure I'm ready for that! 2008 has been a tremendous year of learning for me. Finding out who I am, who God wants me to be, what He expects of me in my ministry. Is it that He just started talking? Nope, it's that Faye started listening! [...]

I've been through a rough time regarding friends in the past. I've struggled all my life with wanting to be wanted. I was always the last one picked for anything at school, except for questions in the classroom. Being the geeky, intelligent kid doesn't win you friends unless you're athletic, too. Being discerning about friends [...]

Now I know that some will utterly disagree just reading the title, but hear me out. I was riding along in the car a couple weeks ago, after helping process a ton of shoe boxes with Operation Christmas Child, and I saw a sign that said, "Jesus is the Reason for the Season" and it [...]
