I already had a Good Friday post, so I’m posting this one a week late. Last Friday we had a really Good Friday. Actually, it was a GREAT Friday, but the calendar specifically says, “Good Friday†so I guess I’m going to have to go with that. Several years ago, when Matt was working for… Continue reading A Really Good Friday

Egg-sellent!
It’s hard to believe it’s been four years. Four years since our very first Sloan Creek Easter Egg Hunt where we had more non-SCE residents in attendance than residents. Four years since hiding a few dozen eggs in our playroom and having neighbors over for pizza. Four years since we ran around on Sunday afternoon… Continue reading Egg-sellent!
Threads of Gratitude: Cardboard Testimony Edition
Our church is doing something amazing for Easter. I get shivers just thinking about it. Volunteers have written a testimony of what their life was like before Christ and after Christ on two sides of a piece of cardboard. While the praise team sings, one by one the sign-holders come out and show the before… Continue reading Threads of Gratitude: Cardboard Testimony Edition
The Morning After
Well, my birthday weekend of fun continued. Last night was the big birthday bash – complete with lots of foolishness, too much food, and great times with friends. Today was a bit more – shall we say – subdued. We decided not to push going to the 8:30 service and instead opted for the 10:00. … Continue reading The Morning After
Fooled ya!
FLORIDA COURT SETS ATHEIST HOLY DAY In Florida , an atheist created a case against the upcoming Easter and Passover holy days. Â He hired an attorney to bring a discrimination case against Christians, Jews and observances of their holy days. The argument was that it was unfair that atheists had no such recognized days. The… Continue reading Fooled ya!
Transformed!
You remember back in October when I bragged on Trey for selling so much popcorn? And how he was the #2 seller – for the second year in a row – in our pack? Well, apparently Circle 10 Council noticed, too. And because of his efforts, Trey won a day of fun at Pizza Hut… Continue reading Transformed!
Luck o’ the Irish!
I’m not Irish. I don’t even play one on TV. But I was a teacher, so I have celebrated St. Patrick’s Day more often than most. Usually I celebrated with cute leprechaun-themed worksheets and green bulletin boards. I’m happy to say I’m celebrating differently this year. Usually I have something cute and entertaining to say… Continue reading Luck o’ the Irish!
Rude Awakening
BOOM! *rattle, rattle, shake, shake* That was how I was awakened this morning at 6:08 A.M. At first, I thought something had fallen onto our house. Either that, or the playroom had collapsed onto the garage. I went outside, in my pajamas in 20-degree weather, to investigate. Everything looked normal. Then I thought that perhaps… Continue reading Rude Awakening
Threads of Gratitude: American Flag edition
This week has been nuts. Completely nuts. I feel like a whirling dervish, scurrying from one activity to another, and yet, despite the frenzy I am not totally worn out. Yet. One of the things that has got me so wired is the upcoming Blue & Gold banquet for Cub Scouts. This is the annual… Continue reading Threads of Gratitude: American Flag edition
Dear Debily: An Advice Column
A friend of mine recently asked me for some advice. I know! ME! Advice! Whodathunkit? Anyhoo, her boss was recently diagnosed with lymphoma and I guess with my husband having cancer and all she figured I might be qualified to answer the question of how to best help show support and care during this time. … Continue reading Dear Debily: An Advice Column
