I know what you’re thinking: There are only 150 psalms in the Bible. And you’d be 100% correct. This psalm, however, isn’t in the Bible. It’s in my blog. (and, in all likelihood, linked to Facebook) The psalms are God’s songbook. The psalms were the songs the ancient Israelites sang during times of joyous celebration,… Continue reading Psalm 151

Tidbits, rants, and assorted other musings…all about yours truly!
Tsunami Warning
There are some movies I can watch over and over and never grow tired of. The Impossible is not one of those movies. Aside from the freakishly gory leg injury Maria Belon suffered in the surging floodwaters, this movie touches those parts of my psyche that I prefer to keep safely tucked away under layer… Continue reading Tsunami Warning
Amazing Grace

Music to my Ears
God doesn’t call the equipped. He equips the called. -Mark Batterson, Wild Goose Chase Eighteen years ago, God called me out of my elementary school classroom and into my very own piano studio. Though I had no idea what I was doing, or how to do it, I saddled up that Wild Goose and hopped… Continue reading Music to my Ears
Respectfully, I disagree…
Oh, the internet. *sigh* Oh, social media. *double sigh* Sometimes I love you and sometimes…well…you make me just a little crazy. Okay, a little crazier. Sometimes that’s a good thing: causing me to think deeply about what I believe and why, challenging my notions about life and health and parenting and marriage, and getting me… Continue reading Respectfully, I disagree…
Take that, Pinterest
There are so many things I do and do well, but taking ideas off Pinterest and making them even resemble the original intent is certainly not one of them. I don’t really have a knack for being creative with food, my attempts at mimicking home decorating ideas fall short, and let’s not even talk about… Continue reading Take that, Pinterest
Build a Better Birthday
When you’re a kid, you don’t really pay attention to days on the calendar. They’re all pretty much the same: boring white squares with numbers in the corner that get filled with Mom and Dad’s chicken scratch and occasionally cause their blood pressure to rise. But there are three days that actually matter. Three days… Continue reading Build a Better Birthday
They call me Ninja Blanco
Legend tells of a legendary warrior whose Hapkido skills were the stuff of legend. She was so powerful, in fact, that her opponents would go blind from over-exposure to pure awesomeness! She wore her awesome white pajamas that made her kick real hard and punch real fast and yell real loud. And if you… Continue reading They call me Ninja Blanco
Red-Letter Days
Well, it happened again. Right there in Dunkin Donuts this morning, while I was enjoying an oh-so-good vanilla chai and an oh-not-so-good chocolate mint oreo donut. Serves me right for eating carbs AND refined sugar, I know. But right there, in mid-bite, it happened: I had one of those “apostrophe” things. Smee: I’ve just had… Continue reading Red-Letter Days
“Goal” Post – The Year in Review
Well, 2013 is in its final, waning hours. The year that for many of my friends was truly an “unlucky” 13th is poised to bid us a not-so-fond farewell. We stand on the threshold of a shiny new year, a clean slate of 365 days that stretches before us with promises of new beginnings, renewed… Continue reading “Goal” Post – The Year in Review
