From a Spontaneous Mom
Why is it that: *The clothes I tried so hard to get back into (after having a baby) are now out of style? *I can NEVER get caught up on laundry, dishes or sleep? *My brain turned to mush just as soon as my second son was conceived? *I can never find the remote control,…
The Really Long First Call
What happens after you receive The Call? Does your life change drastically? Do you become an instant celebrity? Do novels begin to pour forth from your fingertips each time they touch the keyboard? The day I received the first call, I was at work. I took the call in the Executive conference room while my…
Confessions of a Sinner Saved by Grace
Sometimes I feel like I’m just dripping with sin and no matter how God sees me and forgives me, I will never get that unconditional forgiveness from the ones I have wronged. Sometimes I step outside myself and see myself behaving horribly, and I don’t have the power to stop it. Sometimes I feel so…
Monday Party Game
Okay, who wants to play? I thought it would be fun to make up a story about “ME!” I know I could really get in trouble with this, but hey, I can always DELETE your comments! [insert evil laugh HERE]So here it goes…I’ll start the story and then YOU’ll continue the story in the comment…
The Joy of Research
I love research. There. I can admit. I love the fact that now I know a stamp cost 3 cents in 1943. That a movie ticket was 17 cents. That half of all K-9s used during World War II by the military were trained at a remote fort in Nebraska. That there were less than…
Gotta Love Grace
Just a glimpse of what I’ve heard from my princess this last week: “Please or please. I’ll give you twenty dollars when I grow up!” I touched Jedi’s little ballies. Eeww! Do I have to wash my hands? Eeww, Bleck! Do I have to wash my hands three times?” After riding a real camel at…
Prodigal or the Other Brother?
Which one are you? Are you the prodigal who after demanding his inheritance from his father went out and squandered it all on “wild living.” Or are you the older brother whose jealousy consumed him when the prodigal returned? I identify more with the older brother, and ironically my sister is the prodigal. But in…
The Most Important 20 Minutes
Kids today are scattered. They are overloaded with activities and schoolwork that push peace right out of the picture. They are expected to solve 25 problems in 45 seconds, read 120 books in 180 days so they can win a prize, run faster, sell more, play better than everyone else from five counties over. Then…
My First Delurking Question
Received my FIRST question from a lurker! Thanks Susanne for coming out! Question: No holds barred what would be your favorite thing to do on a date with your hubby! My Answer: Date? What’s that? Sheesh, we used to go on weekly dates way back when we had a couple of kids. Funny you should…
My Birth Date
Since this question has come up several times already, I thought I should post on it.I’ve been reluctant to post my “real” date (thus the month long celebration)because our family is slightly paranoid concerned about identity theft and we’re trying to keep as much sensitive information private. My husband actually had his identity stolen once,…
