Forget what you’ve been told. History does repeat itself. Lightning can strike twice. And Taco Bueno can massively screw up an order twice in different locations. You may have read the post on Blogospeer about our last experience at Taco Bueno (yes, he called it Taco Bell, but it was Bueno) where we discovered the… Continue reading It’s More, Bueno!
Threads of Gratitude
I realized today that Debily is now in its 12th month of existence. And though it’s not the official one year anniversary, I can say the past 12 months have been a wild ride. I am definitely a different person, living a different life, with a different focus and a different passion for ministry than… Continue reading Threads of Gratitude
A Sight for Sore Eyes
Since we didn’t purchase a pool membership this year (see previous post), we decided instead to go for season passes to Six Flags. We have finally reached the point where our passes have paid for themselves and we now start saving money. Despite the fact that we have closed the park every time we’ve gone… Continue reading A Sight for Sore Eyes
A Pool of Options
For the first time in eight years, we do not have a pool membership at the Texas Pool for the summer. And yet, here we are, in the throes of the hot Texas summer with no pool membership. Never fear, however, the Great Summertime Pool Adventure of 2008 is well underway. Our first swim of… Continue reading A Pool of Options
In Focus
This post could be considered a public service announcement of sorts. This probably comes as a shock to my two-handfuls of readers. If you’ve been with me for awhile, you know I don’t generally use my blog for PSA’s. I may be preachy, but this blog is generally not my preferred forum for stirring the… Continue reading In Focus

I confess, I’m not very good when it comes to making potato salad. I either overcook the potatoes, thereby creating a mashed potato gloopy mess, or I undercook them and end up with a potato salad where the potatoes are crunchier than the celery. Neither option is particularly appetizing. In the 18 years since I… Continue reading By Popular Demand
The Backyardigans
In 1974, a neighbor friend from our church in Miami held a “5-Day Bible Club” in her home. At the time, I was 5 years old and looking forward to starting school. My big brother Dan would walk with me as we crossed busy 82nd Avenue to get there and back home again. I must… Continue reading The Backyardigans
Night of the Long Ball
Last night’s Home Run Derby is one that is sure to be talked about for years to come. And the name I am sure will be mentioned most often in those discussions will be Josh Hamilton. He’s no stranger to the handful of us who faithfully follow the Rangers. His on-field achievements in this first… Continue reading Night of the Long Ball
Lovable Little Trash Compactor
A couple weeks ago, we all piled in the car and drove down to our nearby movie theater for some good, cold, family fun. Matt and I have been fans of Pixar movies since Toy Story, even going to the theater to see their movies BEFORE we had children. So, after last year’s “meh”… Continue reading Lovable Little Trash Compactor
Ode to my current life
Yes, I have fallen off the blogging bandwagon, so to speak. My goal of blogging four days a week has been a challenge to reach, it seems, in recent weeks. It’s not that I’ve been particularly busy, because that’s not entirely true. It’s not that I don’t have anything to write about, because I can… Continue reading Ode to my current life
