My Daughter Calls Me “Dude”

Posted in Jonas Brothers, Miley Cyrus, children, family, girls, kids, life, love, parenting, relationships, thanksgiving, work on January 24, 2009 | 4 Comments »

There is a very bright and wonderful part of my life that doesn’t often make it to these posts. It’s those girls you see above.
The older one has taken to calling me “dude.”  When I suggest this is no name for a mother, she replies that she’s gotten so used to addressing her friends with the [...]

Sad About Miley Cyrus

Posted in Christianity, Hannah Montana, Jesus, Miley Cyrus, faith, girls, kids, life, women on April 30, 2008 | 5 Comments »

Among my most visited posts were two I wrote about taking my daughter to the Hannah Montana concert:  Spiritual Formation & Hannah Montana and Post-Hannah Montana Concert Observations.
As I was leaving on a business trip the other day, I heard a soundbite on the Today show about some pictures Miley posed in for Vanity Fair magazine. A couple of [...]

In Vitro & Stem Cells: An Unwitting Hypocrisy

Posted in Christianity, Church, God, Jesus, children, faith, family, kids, tagged , on April 6, 2008 | 4 Comments »

I’ve been bothered — agitated — for some time about a very hypocritical situation in the American evangelical church.
A May 9, 2003 New York Times article said:
Fertility clinics in the United States have accumulated some 400,000 frozen human embryos, about twice the number estimated, since 1986 when the in vitro fertilization procedure began, the first official [...]

Doggie Do-Over (Phunny Photos)

Posted in FUn, children, dogs, humor, kids, life, photo, photography, random, silly on March 19, 2008 | 3 Comments »

Scarlet (reddish) and Coco (brownish) got haircuts yesterday.  Top pix are before. Bottom are after.
My sister and family tell me the before pix look like mug shots (they also said poor Coco looks like a hedgehog) and the after pix, as if the dogs have had a little too much to drink.
Tell me what YOU [...]

Is Corduroy for Real??

Posted in Christianity, Jesus, Theology, books, children, family, kids, life, miracles, parenting, religion on March 15, 2008 | 2 Comments »

Five year old theology:
Daughter: Mom: Do you know that Corduroy is a made up book? Teddy bears don’t come alive.

Me: Yes, some books are made up stories. But what do you think about the Bible? It says that Jesus rose from the dead. I mean, that’s pretty weird.
Daughter: But that’s true.
Me: How do you know?
Daughter: [...]

Blog Slacker

Posted in Thoughts, blog, children, dogs, kids, life, personal, random, spirituality, spritual formation, work on February 11, 2008 | Leave a Comment »

I’ve been overwhelmed with work. And kids. (Can’t forget the dogs, too). Then I was out of town last week. Excuses, excuses, excuses. But the sad fact is: I have become a blog slacker. 
In my slacker mode, I dig up a comment I left and then post it as a full-blown blog. How sad is that?
Then Treyka tells me I [...]

Seven things about myself.  An easy thing to blog about, and treyka told me I have to. So here are my sordid seven….
1. I met my husband online 13 years ago. We didn’t mean to. Weren’t looking. At the time, it was a really weird thing to do. So we took to telling people we met in ”an alien [...]

There Are Angels Hoverin’ ‘Round Me!

Posted in Bible, Bible Study, Christ, Christianity, God, Heaven, Jesus, Theology, angels, children, faith, family, girls, grace, kids, life, parenting, personal, prayer, religion, spirituality on January 21, 2008 | 3 Comments »

Have you ever walked down a street a million times and then, this one time, you see something you never saw before? And it shocked you? You stopped and thought, “How did I ever miss that before?”
I had that experience the other morning. I was reading my daily Bible verses (well, I was catching up on [...]

Hustling (in a good way) daughter. Proud momma.
First basketball game today!
Editor’s note: At the next to last game, this girl finally got her mo together and sank FOUR in a row, effectively winning the game. Dad and I were SO proud (and shocked since neither of us were athletes).  Funny thing, the night before I had specifically [...]
