In one of my favorite children’s books of all time, Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No-good, Very Bad Day, Alexander decides that life would be much better were he to move to Australia. You might want to rethink that decision, Alex. I realize that in your book, it was the 1970’s and Australia may have… Continue reading Forget Australia, I’m moving to ICELAND!
“Cross”-examination: FBC, McKinney
*begin spooky twilight zone music* We have now entered “The Church Music Zone”. Please don’t try to adjust your ipod or your praise posture. There is no subliminal message, though it’s not beyond the realm of possibility that God is trying to tell you something. But that’s beside the point. Just accept the fact that… Continue reading “Cross”-examination: FBC, McKinney
Number my days
A friend of ours died last night. Just like that. She was out to dinner with her husband, and then…she was gone. A woman in her mid-40’s. A wife, a mother, a sister, a daughter, a teacher. Gone. Ripped from the fabric of her family’s life with no warning. Her parents, who just 3 years… Continue reading Number my days
No Wonder Santa’s so Happy…
Okay, this falls under the “Give me a break” category: Santas in Australia have been told not to say “Ho Ho Ho” because it’s demeaning to women and could frighten children. Yeah, I’m sure a 2-year-old isn’t offended by a complete and total stranger in a hot wool suit, long beard and frighteningly red cheeks… Continue reading No Wonder Santa’s so Happy…
What I did on October vacation, days 5-7
So it’s nearly a month late. Give me a break…I was on vacation time! Our South Padre vacation ended as wonderfully as it began. On Thursday, we spent some time playing in the condo before heading out to the beach. Crisana and I continued to build sand-sculpture masterpieces under our little shelter. Trey joined us… Continue reading What I did on October vacation, days 5-7
Monday Morning QB
Because of a wedding shower, I didn’t get to watch the game in its entirety, though I did manage to catch snippets here and there (and saw most of the highlights on the Sunday evening sports special). I must admit, these Cowboys are making it fun to be a fan! Careless penalties made this game… Continue reading Monday Morning QB
“Cross”-examination: FBC, Allen
Our “church search” officially began this week with a visit to First Baptist Church in Allen. Crisana attends preschool at this location, so we figured we’d begin here, just to check it out. We attended their fall carnival here on Halloween and had a great time, so we were interested to see what their Sunday… Continue reading “Cross”-examination: FBC, Allen
A day of posts
I am so far behind on my posts. For some, that would be reason enough to quit. Throw in the towel. Give up. Surrender. But me? No way! I am a woman of MANY words, and those words are just DYING to be written. So get ready! Strap yourselves in, my few faithful readers, because… Continue reading A day of posts
Recap, kneecap…Seussian edition
‘Tis the week past Halloween, and everything’s dandy: The kids, Mom, and Dad -yup – all hung over with candy. The DVR counts up, as Matt watches his shows While I sit at my laptop typing endless prose To fulfill a foolish promise, made with great haste: That when we returned, not one moment I’d… Continue reading Recap, kneecap…Seussian edition
Monday Morning QB Recap, Redux
What a day yesterday was! Even though I was only interested in two games, there were several events that as a football fan, I could not ignore: (stay with me, Angie, there’s something for you at the end!) San Diego vs. Minnesota: A couple of records in this game. First, Antonio Cromartie runs back a… Continue reading Monday Morning QB Recap, Redux
