Wednesday, January 28th, 2009I was just on my way home from a midwife appt. (We are in the end stretch of this pregnancy, so I’m having weekly appointments now. One little side note, apparently I have very impressive hemoglobin. That’s the first time I’ve even gotten that compliment!)
Anyway, on the way home a song came on the radio [...]
Farewell, George W. Bush. Welcome, Barack Obama.
Tuesday, January 20th, 2009A person would have to be pretty cut off from society to not know today is inauguration day. Two days ago I pored over Sunday’s paper, page after page was stacked full of pictures and articles about Obama. Some are excited and hopeful about the potential he’ll bring to this country, others are afraid, and [...]
Gettin’ Geared Up for Election Day
Monday, November 3rd, 2008Tomorrow is election day, so take the time (if you have it) to brush up on the issues. While you’re at it, perhaps it might be a good idea to find out who’s running for senator, representative, board of education, dog catcher, etc. in your area and figure out where they stand. Then brush up on [...]
Prayers For the American Presidential Election, Prayers for our Government
Tuesday, October 14th, 2008I received an email yesterday and decided it is definitely worth sharing. It’s a call to action for Christians to pray for our country’s upcoming election, and for its leadership. Right now, most people seem scared over the current state of our country, but there is a huge split in opinions when it comes to [...]
Anti-Christian Violence in Orissa, India Going Strong Again
Wednesday, September 3rd, 2008Shortly after Christmas last year we posted about anti-Christian violence in Orissa, India that began on Christmas Eve, and continued for another week. Since then I have not been able to find a lot of information to follow up on the situation. That is, until last week, when a new wave of violence began. Please [...]
Shooting at Unitarian Church in Knoxville, Tennessee
Tuesday, July 29th, 2008I need a new website to get my news from, one that will give me actual news. Any suggestions?
In the meantime, please pray for the Unitarian church in Knoxville, Tennessee, pray for healing of the injured, physically and emotionally, for peace for everyone who was present, for the children who witnessed hell in action.

Steven Curtis Chapman’s Daughter, Maria, Died Wednesday
Friday, May 23rd, 2008
Sometimes I find myself rushing my kids along so I can have time to get things done. Then I remember the Steven Curtis Chapman interview (above) and I try to remember I only get so much time with my boys. I want to treasure it more while I’m living it.
The past few months I have [...]
On the Sudden Outbreak of Hand-Foot-Mouth Disease
Wednesday, May 7th, 2008Whenever a child suffers needlessly, I really get shaken up, as I hope anyone does. Whenever I hear of a child being abused, neglected, exploited, or murdered, I can’t help feeling extreme anger toward the person(s) responsible. Then I immediately start feeling heartbroken and sad for the child who was subjected to whatever hell they [...]
Honesty is Such a Lonely Word
Tuesday, April 8th, 2008I must admit to you, I have been guilty of telling a fib or five in my life. I am not proud of it. With age and maturity, I have found I don’t think I do anything that I would need to lie about, and I have nothing to lose by telling the truth. In [...]
