Where’s the line?
On That’s Funny! our latest series is, “Never Good Enough.” One of our viewers asked a deep, thoughtful question: “Where’s the line between wanting to improve yourself and being content with what you have?” This is a fantastic question. I often ask myself where’s the line questions about many areas in my life; “Where’s the line between my…

As I walked into my women’s bible study, Natasha, our teacher, asked me to sit next to her. As I settled into my seat, Shelly stretched in dramatic fashion puffing out her chest. Natasha talked lively while using her hands and arms. Shelly flipped her hair. They both seemed more animated than usual. I kept…

I’ve taken a girls trip with my best friend, Julieann (AKA Buddy), for seven years and counting. We’ve seen some beautiful places, sharing belly laughs, tears, and simply sitting in the wonder of God’s beauty. It was our last night in South Dakota. Although our days had been packed with adventure, this special night centered…
