Spring Fun

May 6, 2010

I have been blogging in my mind all week, but when I sit down at the computer, I am getting caught up in the delights of so many other blogs and stories and pictures, that by the time I think of posting it is time to dash off to drop off snacks, pick up kids […]

Easter Fun

April 24, 2010

Every year someone is sick on Easter Sunday. I think that since we have had kids, we have only had one or two Sundays where we all made it to church…this year was one of them. We like to think of it as an Easter miracle! We had a great time on Friday dying eggs […]

One Special Lady

April 7, 2010

A great lady died recently. She lived a long life and left her mark on so many people. I am one of them. My life is injected with “snapshot” memories of Ethel. She was not around very much, and yet, always a part of our family. Ethel and her husband lived in an apartment below […]

Yesterday David and I took a day off to be together and go listen to a sales pitch for a warehouse club. We weren’t planning on joining, but the “gifts” for listening to the pitch involved a vacation somewhere and a chance to win $50,000, so we thought it would be worth going. Well, we […]

I am sitting here on this snowy Saturday, surfing the internet and filling my brain full of new things. Today I have learned how to save all my favorites on delicious.com so that no matter what computer I am on, I can access my list. I think that anyone can also see my list…but I […]

It is amazing how incredible it is everywhere you look! This is our massive closet…and our fun group of kids, cousin, boyfriend and friend all […]

Okay already, enough is enough….

August 27, 2009

Today is the beginning of a new ‘phase’ for me. I am not sure what to call it. It is kind of an interesting one in that it is the “Last child went to kindergarten for the first time today Day”, but for me this has new and significant meaning since I have homeschooled all […]

Hiking on WaterRock Knob

July 7, 2009

Today we had another mini-vacation to WaterRock Knob. It was an awesome hike and a nice family time! Walker and I lagged behind, but we actually made it to the top. It was a great day and the Park Ranger and Volunteer were full of information and they filled us with lots of ideas for […]

Dangerous Women

May we be dangerous women.
May we be women who acknowledge our power to change, and grow, and be radically alive in God.
May we be healers of wounds and righters of wrongs.
May we weep with those who weep and speak for those who cannot speak for themselves.
May we cherish children, embrace the elderly, and empower the poor.
May we pray deeply and teach wisely.
May we be strong and gentle leaders.
May we sing songs of joy and talk down fear.
May we never hesitate to let passion push us , conviction propel us, and righteous anger energize us.
May we strike fear into all that is unjust and evil in the world.
May we dismantle abusive systems and silence lies with truth.
May we shine like stars in a darkened generation.
May we overflow with goodness in the name of God and by the power of Jesus.
And in that name, and by that power, may we change the world.
