Hi there. I'm Amy. I write here about my life and my issues. I also design blogs and websites at Uncluttered Design. I'm a mom to 4 and a former pastor's wife.

What Pastors’ Wives Really Want
Mike recently left the following comment in response to my post, You May Feel Alone, but You’re Not. Given that he asks such an EXCELLENT question (and a question which is so rarely asked—do I hear an “Amen!” PW’s?), I thought his comment deserved a place of higher honor (i.e. a post all to Continue reading...
A Pastor’s Wife Kills
What a tragedy of astronomical proportions. I’ve wrestled with the news all week and I’ve tried to wrap my brain around it—I just don’t think that’s possible. As I struggle to make sense of it, one phrase keeps crossing my mind: But by the grace of God go I.
In other words, as horrible Continue reading...
The Point of No Return
It happens to me about this time in every pregnancy. It’s the deeply profound realization that I’m going to give birth to this child whether I like it or not. (I don’t like it.) I’m excited to meet our new addition (he really needs a name), but I’m not particularly excited about Continue reading...
Mixin’ It Up

Anyway, to mix things up a bit, I thought I’d see if I can’t get all of you to do a little blogging Continue reading...
When I Look Down…

[Update: When my husband saw this picture, he said it looks like a close-up of Mars. I guess he should know...didn't someone once say men are from there? In any case, yes, I guess feeling as though you're about to give birth to a planet Continue reading...
Round 2 Results
Well guess what. Guess who’s pregnant. My dermatologist. That’s right, I’m sittin’ there in that very posh, highly-decorated office with framed fashion magazines all over the walls (because after all, this is the office of the dermatologist who is very important and world-renowned) and I’m waiting for the slicer and dicer of Continue reading...
Round 2
It’s mole removal day for me. And I guess we’ll take a shot at the warts too. So, if all goes according to plan, she’ll take a hunk outta me (actually 2 hunks) and then freeze the living daylights out of my 2 warts.
(Warts are particularly disgusting in my opinion and yet I Continue reading...
Dating & Marriage Not According to Me
Our church has an ever-increasing population of young, single adults and the topic of dating and marriage seems to be a popular one. Here’s an excellent article written by Elisabeth Elliot (married three times, widowed twice—once due to murder) and I found myself “amen-ing” all the way through. Her experience and timeless advice Continue reading...
