Join Us in Our Month-Long Study of Ephesians 6!

Wrapping paper tubes. Garden stakes. Umbrellas. Scraps of lumber. Tree branches. Rulers. Pool noodles. Fingers. What do they all have in common? If you have any boys in your house, you probably know. Most any innocent-looking item that is longer than it is wide can become a sword in the hands of a child who is eager and ready to do battle. No swords in the house? No problem. They’ll […]

Finding Time to Rest and Renew our Focus: A Video Introduction to Bible Study for Busy Mamas

As moms, we have a lot to do! It’s easy to become overwhelmed. If we’re not careful, we can find ourselves dragging around on an empty fuel tank. We probably all know what that feels like!   But being a busy mom (or grandma…or working woman…or student) shouldn’t mean we can’t stop and take time to re-charge. Most of you have already been involved in one or more of our Busy Mamas […]

We’re Still Alive (an update from Forster/Doorposts land)

Families need stability. Even when our adult lives are full of challenges, we fight for the stability our children need. We want them to grow up with familiar routines, a comfortable home, and parents who are there for them. But life is unpredictable. Often we don’t know what will happen tomorrow or next week. What do you do when “normal”, whatever that used to be, is shot to bits? I’m […]

Missing…

You know that feeling? You suddenly realize something is missing — something important — and you don’t know where it is. I’m becoming far too familiar with that feeling lately. Not sure what’s up. Here’s the report from just the last five days: I was ten minutes late to an appointment because I noticed part way there that I didn’t have my purse with me. I left my wallet sitting in […]

30 Days in Psalm 22 for Busy Mamas, Day 1: Listening

Psalm 22. The Psalm of the Cross. The psalm that has been described as more of a history than a prophecy. A glimpse into the deep, deep suffering of our Savior on the cross. A psalm that speaks to the suffering we all face at different points in our lives — the times when we feel like God has forgotten us, or isn’t listening to us, or just plain isn’t […]

A New Busy Mamas Bible Study Is About to Begin! Psalm 22!

Studying the Bible is a little bit like having a savings account. A savings account is there so we have the resources ready when a need arises. Every month we put a little more money in the account. It accumulates. It’s there, ready to use. The car’s brakes go out? There’s money in the bank to fix them. A trip to the emergency room? The money is there, ready to […]

Our Wonderful Life…

The last twelve months have been some of the craziest in Forster family history. Last spring, we decided to bite the bullet and sell the seven-acre “home place” where we all grew up (and where we’ve operated Doorposts for the last twenty years) and move closer to our church, friends, and family. Eight months later, after eight moving van trips, hundreds of boxes of books, one epic garage sale, many […]
