September 20 is always a hard day for me. You’d think after 10 years, I’d just get over it and move on. However, I find almost the opposite is true. I find the loss of my dad in some ways more painful now than I did 10 years ago. His legacy lives on, but I… Continue reading Mom said there’d be days like this

Love in 5 Languages, Part 2
This week, we get into the “meat” of the course, the discussion of the actual love languages. Through my own personal observation, I’m pretty convinced that physical touch is Trey’s primary love language. Even at age 7, he still loves to snuggle, he holds my hand, and he’s pretty demonstrative in his affection to others.… Continue reading Love in 5 Languages, Part 2
A winning weekend…sort of
To quote the wise sage Jay Leno (could he be another version of J-L..o?): “It’s Monday night, time for” a sports update on Debily’s blog!! Okay, so he doesn’t really say THAT, but it’s kind of close. First, we have our baseball. The Rangers have done it once again. You know, made hope rise in… Continue reading A winning weekend…sort of
Eat more chikin!
A news story on Channel 8 last week caught my attention. We all remember a few years back when “experts” began to claim that “methane emissions from cows” (aka cow farts) were a significant contributor to global warming. Well, it took a few years, but finally it’s happened…. Now experts are claiming that we should… Continue reading Eat more chikin!
Things I wish Jesus hadn’t said
This is an actual class offering at FBC Allen, where Crisana is attending preschool. It sounds like a class I’d love to take – a catchy name with some food for thought to challenge the status quo. But in an effort to get some discussion going among my 4 readers, I pose this question to… Continue reading Things I wish Jesus hadn’t said
Love in 5 Languages, Part 1
Tonight begins the series, “The 5 Love Languages of Children.” As I’ve been preparing this week for the class, I pre-viewed the video for the orientation sessions. Attempting to be “hip” and “current”, the producers of the video placed cameras in the homes of 4 different couples so we could watch life, unscripted, and then… Continue reading Love in 5 Languages, Part 1
Happy bither day!
The card read, addressed to Matt from Trey. Yes, today it was Matt’s bither day. And, as I am wont to do on bither days and anniversaries (we haven’t yet broached independent spellings on THAT one yet), I wax nostalgic reminiscing of the man whose life we celebrate: Matt. On Matt’s last bither day, I… Continue reading Happy bither day!
A winning weekend
Well, on the homefront, I can honestly say it wasn’t the most productive of weekends. The lawn didn’t get mowed. The laundry didn’t get finished. The house didn’t get vacuumed. The dishes didn’t get washed…heck, I didn’t even turn on the dishwasher. But, really, none of that mattered. It’s time for FOOTBALL!!
Dealing with Stress
I really wanted to post this yesterday, but it was so late by the time I got home from church & choir that I just gave up. Yesterday was the annual David L. Edwards Faculty Award for Service and Leadership presentation at DTS. This year marked the award’s 10th recipient, and on September 20 we… Continue reading Dealing with Stress
Fulfill your destiny – NOT!
The best laid plans…are the ones most likely to go wrong. Or something like that. I think Murphy stinks. And his whole law should be thrown out the window. A SECOND STORY window, at that. Okay, let me explain. Today being Labor Day and all, we decided to do some family bonding. A little road… Continue reading Fulfill your destiny – NOT!
