…try looking over here.
A couple of weeks ago the “powers that be” (her and her) asked me if I’d consider joining the new Editorial Board for Music City Bloggers as the Family and Parenting Editor. Now, before you get too impressed, this is a volunteer gig. Nonetheless, I was honored that they wanted me [...]
Last night as I was trying to get dinner finished up and was way too distracted by Twitter conversations, the GMan bursts out with, “Look! Look! Look at the sky!” I glanced out the window and observed a fairly nice sunset in the works. On the scale of sunsets, it was probably only in the [...]
JBelle went to her first skating party on Saturday. She’s never skated before. Ever. Well…sort of. She has a pair of in-line skates that were handed down to her from one of her cousins. She shuffles around in them in the house and a little bit outside. I don’t let her go on the wood [...]
Hopefully this post makes sense.
There are times I allow myself to contemplate what the “gospel of Christ” fully means. In general, I find the topic to be rather scary because it illuminates how deficient I am as a “Christian”. Sure it is easy to rationalize and even talk about certain seasons in life when “worldly” matters [...]
“I’ve got my laptop, cell phone, some blankets, my hat…”
“Application?”
“Yes.”
“Check?”
“Check.”
“Well…you know you really don’t have to do this?”
“Yes, I do.”
“Okay then, just be careful…stay warm…please don’t get arrested!”
And out the door he went to brave the cold and dark. To secure his spot in line. To get our son into preschool next year.
Yes, we are [...]
So I had this little spa party last night at my place. Wine, chocolate, foot soaks, warm neck wraps, more wine, more chocolate, a bunch of products that smell divine and feel good, a little more wine, some cheese (really, really yummy cheese), a little more chocolate….you get the picture. It was indulgent and decadent [...]
Playing the “what if” game can never be done in a vacuum. If you want to reconsider Ralph Nader’s candidacy as a spoiler for Al Gore in 2000, you must also reconsider all the other factors that led to the actual results. Bear in mind the link above is from the California Green Party, so they [...]
The Ladies Bible Study at my church that has just started is called “Cultivating Contentment”. I think it’s supposed to be about being content. (Yeah, yeah…I crack myself up!) We were having our group discussion time this morning and something about the verses we were looking at really stood out to me. It was Romans [...]
I stare intently into my bathroom mirror looking closely. Scrutinizing. Wondering…
How did I get here?
What led to this point in my life?
How much longer can this go on?
When was my last haircut?
I don’t know if Ginger and her daughter had ever given thought to whether or not the Flying Spaghetti Monster exists but I’m sure that after leaving our home tonight, they are devout Pastafarians.
Little did they know that our home is, in fact, where the Flying Spaghetti Monster resides. Ginger was christened by having spaghetti [...]
