Music is slowly taking over a larger and larger portion of my life… and I couldn’t be happier. It does leave me less time to blog and share my thoughts, but it’s helping me to put things in a more natural order in my life. I’ve shared before about my thoughts on music – the serenity [ READ MORE ]
My long-time childhood girlfriend got married today. She met her husband last fall. They began dating some time in December… he proposed on February 13th and they got married today – one month later. When you know, you know. This was one of the most unique weddings I’ve ever seen. I suppose it wasn’t unique to your [ READ MORE ]
I just read a post by Darren Rowse over at ProBlogger that had my skin crawling and made me feel very uncomfortable. Darren put into words that which I have never had the nerve to say in either spoken word or type. He described me as he spoke of the early hours of Sunday morning: “…you [ READ MORE ]

This video touched my heart: [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x_dGXZE9ASM] Operation Christmas Child, a ministry of Samaritan’s Purse, got its [ READ MORE ]
Halloween is one of those things I’ve been thinking about disproportionately since even before my son was born. It’s one of those holidays/days/celebrations – not even really sure what to call it – that kids love and that the world seems to truly embrace. Honestly, when I was a kid I didn’t care about the [ READ MORE ]
This week, being Thanksgiving and a short work week, was super busy. Not only that, but I didn’t even get to doing half of what I’d hoped to do. Election Tuesday My cold has still been kicking my behind, particularly at night – I’m still coughing like crazy (it’s all very attractive), and so I didn’t go [ READ MORE ]
This weekend presents one of the most interesting Thanksgiving weekends for me probably ever. I’ve been in tough spots before, but the current global economic situation coupled with my husband having recently been laid off (because the banks have pulled funding for real estate high rise construction), leaves me really contemplating what I am thankful [ READ MORE ]
This weekend has me filled with a renewed excitement about my faith, my church, my life and my ability to relax in the middle of the craziness. Tomorrow marks the launch of a ten week series on Life In the Kingdom that will include Sunday sermons, a book study and weekly small groups. I’m hopeful [ READ MORE ]
