The Blind Man and the Elephant

(no, it’s not a political thing, really) So, yesterday, a pair of uniformed young lads knocked on my door to tell me of another “testimony” of Jesus Christ. Our conversation ended with them asking me “Oh. Well. Then, is there anything else we can do for you, ma’am?”  I can only wonder if they would [...]

UP!

Got to stay up late last night to see this. What a sweet, bittersweet, wonderful movie! All the more wonderful to have seen it with my hubby, with whom I am celebrating 17 years of marriage tomorrow. Love and marriage go together like a horse and carriage? I think not; that places a heavy burden [...]

Snippets

~ Today: the boys were fighting over what cleaning they want to do. Yes, that’s a blessing! I should get them to clean more often, shouldn’t I? ~ Hubby has his Father’s Day present early. It’s a new kettle barbecue. But guess what? Guess what? Guess what? It’s charcoal. I’ve waited years for this day! [...]

Friday’s Fun

Let me just start off with: I got to spend a lot of time at Super Target today. Call me what you will, but I enjoy browsing the shelves, putting things in my card, wandering, oggling, taking stuff out of my cart, telling J not to wander off, oggling, etc…it’s a sickness but one I [...]

Gotta Love It When…

So today we had a teensy bit of a rough day. While most people won’t connect coloring markers with difficulty focusing, if you know the Feingold diet you know exactly what I’m talking about. In spite of it all, and no doubt due to a prompting of the Holy Spirit, my NM apologized to me [...]

Don’t You Hate It When…

Today was a great day, really and truly. Though my bible study was interrupted and cut short by one of the kids, the Lord was quick—very quick!—to remind me my ministry to Him must show in my ministry to my kids. After I was spending some much time on the computer this morning, NM came [...]

A Little Update

~ Yes, I got glasses! Funny thing, wearing them gives me a feeling of anonymity, as if they were sunglasses. The frames are blue-green because all the other colors were meh. It’s so nice to see the world like God put on a sharpen filter over everything. ~ Yesterday was the last official day that [...]

The Perils of Boyhood

Wherein, dear reader, this writer finds herself most greatful that God is in control and is most happy that the kids’ first pediatrician prepared her for times like this. So I just got back from a trip to the ER. The boys were getting ready for bed earlier—no, wait, back up here a sec. They [...]

Balcones Canyonlands National Wildlife Refuge

Prickly pear flower Originally uploaded by Phisch More photos on Flickr here. Field trip today! I still can’t get over how much cool stuff is in and around Austin. The boys and I packed up bright and all-too-early and headed north by north west to Balcones Canyonlands National Wildlife Refuge. We made it there! Amazing [...]
