Things that Make me go Ouch
Universal and Tough Love
One of our sons is incredibly mean and horrible to the other. We’ve tried everything, but this son picks at and says awful things to the other one. His attitude and hatred in his heart at times is wrenching to me and those who here this verbal abuse. We’ve tried it all. No Ps2, no…
Friendship Intimacy: Fact of Fiction?
Found this written somewhere in my journal. Thought someone might be able to relate. You see it all the time in books and movies, two kindred spirits. The deep intimate relationships between close friends that have seen each other at their best and worse, yet love and forgive each other anyway. Subconsciously, I think I’ve…
Confession Time
I guess those of you who read regularly have noticed my Sunday and Wordful Wednesday post have been lacking. Mainly because I’ve been lacking a Word for the Lord, mainly because I haven’t spent quality time listening. Sure I pray daily, read my Bible, though not everyday, and only listen to Christian music, but as…
Technically Challenged Seeks Help!
I have to admit. I’m behind the times a bit when it comes to the computer and other technology. Not as bad as my own mom, but I’m still lagging! After doing some research I finally got around to getting a ZUNE last year. Don’t ask me how long it took me to figure out…
Life’s an Itch!
Seriously! About two weeks ago I found something on me that looked like ringworm (not a real worm, but a fungus and equally yucky to think about.) So I scanned the internet and found that applying Monistat or some other fungal cream should take care of it. After a week of such application there seemed…
Rethinking ICRS
ICRS. The International Christian Retail Show. This huge gathering of authors and publishers had been an enigma to me. Something I’ve wondered about but never experienced. This year I had three different opportunities to attend. Two would be out of our budget and would entail attending a mini conference. One other opportunity won’t cost me…

Check out my post! It’s an oldie, but goodie!
Ramblings on Family and Being Nice
Chris made an interesting observation while he was on a weekend field trip with his junior high. “I’m really nice when I’m away from home.” At home Chris is characterized by being bossy, nit-picky, and sometimes just plain nasty with his siblings, especially the two that rub him the wrong way. I can relate to…
Stressed Out and Overwhelmed!
Did you ever feel like you have so much to do you don’t know where to start? That you’re being stretched like Mrs. Incredible and are about to snap? Well that’s how I feel right now! I’m trying to finish edits on my WIP in the midst of scheduling doctors appointments, acquiring donations for my…
Pain is Good!
Today at church our pastor spoke about how pain isn’t always a bad thing. It’s a God given response to something very wrong in our bodies. Without pain a person might not go to the doctor. They might not even know they’re sick until it’s too late! It’s the same with God. Sometimes God can…
