I want to write a blog post. I’ve got some swirling around in my head right now, or at least I did earlier when I was afc (away from computer). Right now I’m going to try and type without looking at the compyter. Head is back, eyes clsed. You see, my mind is working…tired, but [...]

C.A.R. time
I love to pray. What I don’t love is when my prayers turn into a laundry list of needs to God. OR when they are just reactions to something that just happened or something I said. (most often those are prayers for forgiveness O_o) So, how do you make it something different? I’ve heard lots [...]

The Art of Judging
I’m a judger. I don’t wanna be. But as I struggle to sort out my thoughts and feelings about certain things, then finally determine a stance on a certain issue, there is always going to be another side. If I’ve reasoned rationally, then I have decided NOT to choose one side for a really good [...]

My Eulogy-second attempt
So, what will they say about me when I’m gone? and when I say “they”, I mean my family, my friends, my kids, everyone. Wow, that’s an overwhelming thought. Maybe because they wouldn’t all say the same thing exactly. I don’t know how to start, so I’ll just start…probably in the middle. Cari’s not here [...]

Does my child actually enjoy listening to scream-o music? What have I done?? I’ve failed as a parent. just kidding. but, really…it’s awful. I knocked [...]

Cont’d, book review–sort of
A couple more things that struck me about the families in Mistaken Identity. Thoughts about dealing with adversity, and living up to expectations, and speaking highly of the dead… They knew where there strength came from–the family that was preparing for the funeral–with an overwhelming amount of painful tasks to do in just a couple [...]

Book review–sort of
I just took a car trip, which usually means I just finished a book. My last 2 trips I read the Shack and most of Crazy Love. This time it just happened to be a book that my mom had with her. She finished Mistaken Identity while we were in Colorado, so I read it [...]

the Mysteries of God
In him lie hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge. Col 2:3 The Lord our God has secrets known to no one. We are not accountable for them, but we and our children are accountable forever for all that he has revealed to us, so that we may obey all the terms of these [...]

Out of the Overflow
I’ve been quiet here for a few days…and even longer than that if you don’t count the most recent “series” of posts that constituted my testimony. Honestly, I’ve had barely enough lately. Can you relate? Do you ever feel like you have “barely enough”? Enough what? I don’t know…brain power, clarity, memory, some other intangible [...]
