I’m on a roll. This was the second book I checked out from the church library. And – while it wasn’t as good as Sisterchicks I did enjoy it. The storyline centers on a young man – Jay Jarvis – who has just moved cross-country from Texas to South Carolina for his job. Being a… Continue reading Book Review: Flabbergasted

Up, Up, and Away!
Summer vacation doesn’t officially start until tomorrow afternoon at 3:46 P.M. But I’m not one who likes to wait until the last minute, so we decided to get a jump start on our summer by going to the movies tonight! I took our children – plus a friend each – to go see the latest… Continue reading Up, Up, and Away!
Someday, when you’re a mother, you’ll understand.
Oh, how every child hates those words. How I hated them as a single, childless teacher, too. But now that I am a mom, I do understand. There is a certain lexicon of motherhood. Every mother, regardless of age, background, or religion, has the same vocabulary. We soak our brains in the same pool of… Continue reading Someday, when you’re a mother, you’ll understand.
Ever wonder….?
It’s Friday. We all need a laugh, don’t we? Only in America …do drugstores make the sick walk all the way to the back of the store to get their prescriptions while healthy people can buy cigarettes at the front. Only in America …do people order double cheeseburgers, large fries, and a diet coke. Only… Continue reading Ever wonder….?
Threads of Gratitude: The Tie that Binds Edition
After the retreat last weekend, I’m on a high. A huge, happy, overwhelmed high. So many wonderful memories, so many new friends, so many happy moments that have bonded me to my sisters in Christ. I’m so excited about the opportunity to get to know these women better over the coming months, and to build… Continue reading Threads of Gratitude: The Tie that Binds Edition
Introducing…
This was sent to me awhile back, but I kind of shelved it for one of “those” days. Today is that day. I love this video. It gives me goosebumps. Just try to watch it without jumping to your feet and cheering! [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cvCd_ANIKys[/youtube] That’s MY Jesus!
You can do it. He can help.
With great thanks to my Bible study leader for sending me this! Feel free to comment and add your own. This could be lots of fun! A fifth grade teacher in a Christian school asked her class to look at TV commercials and see if they could use them in some way to communicate ideas… Continue reading You can do it. He can help.
A Really Good Friday
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
AI Predictions: From 8 to 7
Music of the cinema…with Quentin Tarantino as celebrity “coach.” Yeah, I’ve worked it over in my mind and those two comments just don’t seem to mesh in my book. I guess that’s why I’m not sitting in Kara DioGuardi’s seat. As usual, there were the top performers who will have no trouble making it to… Continue reading AI Predictions: From 8 to 7
South Beach Update
This makes me feel SO much better. It’s good to know fat can happen to HER, too. For once in my life, I can feel satisfied knowing I’m thinner and prettier – and far more active – than Barbie. Now, where’s MY townhouse and my spiffy sports car?
