This has been the craziest couple of weeks I've had in forever. And it has been wonderful. Mom arrived on the 15, Charlie came back from Belize on the 17 and then graduation on the 22. We've cleaned, visited, partied, cleaned again, and visited some more. It's hard to believe that my son is now [...]

Keep Telling Your Stories
I wake up some days on top of the world. Other days I wake up feeling like I would rather be under my blankets. I am woman, and I can be moody. If you read my blog, you know that about me. You also know that I have a tendancy to compare my insides with [...]
Hack “The Shack?” – I don’t think so
Pastors all over the world are divided. That is a given. I mean that with far more grace than black and white type on a blog can convey. Having said that, I'm pleased to see a non-biased review of William Paul Young's book The Shack in a Lutheran Magazine. Mainline Protestant churches can be a [...]

I am So Busted
When helping a child with a homework project that involves scrapbooking, make sure all should be hidden photos - ARE. Sadly, this is me from the 80's. After seeing this, my youngest has informed me that I am N-E-V-E-R allowed to criticize his choice in clothing ever again. People sometimes ask what I did [...]
Six Months Seizure Free and the Freedom to Drive
Dillon's Pen and Ink Drawing for Art We've come a long way baby! Years ago, epilepsy was a death sentence. They used to take epileptics to the city gates and stone them to death. We've grown from that to denial of rights. 50 years ago, epileptics were looked upon with fear and trepidation. They were [...]
What a Weekend
I was supposed to wake up at 5 am and get a jump start on my week. That didn't happen. Turns out, my body wanted me to very self indulgently sleep in until 10 am. I couldn't figure out why I am so tired, and then it hit me - we had a very busy three [...]
