What if’s

My job as a homemaker is still in full swing and we’re expecting baby #3 in December.  Sadly, the pay isn’t great and since Brett has recently become unemployed he’s on the hunt for a new job and maybe a new career.
He’s excited and ready for a big change and knows that God’s hand is [...]

Easter Decor for the Church

Hey-
Just wondering if anyone out there had any good ideas for decorating the church for Easter. Our worship center is a converted gymnasium so we’re limited to a floating stage and cinder block walls.

Sarah Palin on SNL- Good or Bad

Sarah Palin just appeared on SNL last Saturday.  Amy P. did a rap, from the perspective of Gov. Palin, expressing  issues along the campaign trail.  You can check out the clip by going to www.nbc.com .
Did it hurt or help Palin?  Some people who like her thought it was great.  Others who hate her think [...]

Re-Decorate Your Room for a Budget

I can’t seem to get a handle on ‘having nothing more to do with the house’.  What I mean is that even after I redecorate a room, I begin to get the itch to do it all over again.  I probably make it about two years before I can’t stand it anymore and the plans [...]

Just Call Me a Cruiser

February is a great month for a vacation.  It’s cold here and I can’t wait to get into some wam weather.  My friend Heidi would prefer to live in New England where it’s cold or chilly for most of the year. Yuck!  Give me the perfect 78 degree day and I’m all smiles.
We’re off to [...]

My MOPS Girls

I’ve been in dozens of bible studies.  They’ve all been beneficial but some more than others.  Some I’ve trudged through only to find the gem in it all at the very end.  Others I almost count down the days until we can meet, grow, learn, and laugh once more.
Last night we had our MOPS bible study.  [...]

Voting Decisions- The Presidential Candidates

For months now the presidential candidates have been debating, slinging, campaigning, “borrowing” ideas from their colleagues, and for the most part– trying to convince voters that they should be the guy, or girl, for the highest job in the country.  Brett and I have been paying attention but haven’t been fully engaged in our search [...]

Defining Ourselves

I am constantly teaching my children.  Now that they are 4 and 2 I am particularly in the disciplinary trenches of my educational training. I am also in the academic world of pre-school skills.  Though it is extremely fulfilling for me to see my oldest learn how to put letters together and form words, I still [...]

TV- Can’t Stop Watching It

My husband thinks I watch too much tv.  I assure him that I only watch TV once the kids are in bed and even then there are probably only 3 shows that I really enjoy.  The first is Grey’s Anatomy; the second is Heroes; and the third is America’s Next Top Model.  Of those three [...]

Wondering What’s Real

 
God calls us to tell the truth.  He calls us to love our brothers.  He calls us to the light and I believe I have followed His callings.  Even so, it doesn’t make understanding all of his callings crystal clear.  For example, what am I supposed to do when a friend, who is also called [...]
