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 [...]

Delivered: Don’t Forget It!
Posted in Bible, Christianity, God, Jesus, Marriage, children, family, life, love, parenting, religion, singleness on September 20, 2008 | 1 Comment »
I must sound like the most bitter hag on the planet, considering my spate of blogs on anger, doubt, frustration with church, etc., etc., etc.
So, I’m going to turn the tables tonight and exercise my thanksgiving muscle.
You know what God said about remembering. To keep from turning into wearisome whiners, those Israelites were supposed to [...]
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: [...]
There Are Angels Hoverin’ ‘Round Me!

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 [...]

Am I the only one out there who writes a blog and then clicks on Dashboard, Blog Stats? And comes back a while later to check again? And again?
Does anyone else out there take some strange delight seeing just how popular you are?
Here is the sad part — I am supposed to be writing about [...]

I Cried Tonight
Posted in Church, God, Thoughts, children, faith, family, life, parenting, random, religion on December 16, 2007 | 1 Comment »
Our kids played “Away in a Manger” at church tonight. The nine-year old played the piano, accompanying the five-year old on the violin. Boy, was I proud. I cried. My husband thought it was cute that I sat there dabbing at my eyes.
I tell you, seeing those kids up there playing together is one of [...]

This is a blog about my spiritual journey. So, you ask, what was so spiritual about driving six hours total back and forth through the mountains in the rain to listen to 15,000 girls scream so loud that my hearing seemed permanently impaired long after the fact?
I have to think about this one.
I must say, I was [...]

Tomorrow is a momentous occasion for our family. I am taking our nine year old daughter (yes, the one with the sneer, above) to the Hannah Montana/Miley Cyrus concert.
And I am driving 3 hours to do this. Why, you ask?
Because I am a BAD MOTHER. I neglected to get tickets for the concert in our [...]
