Almost 9 months ago…

November 30, 2010

Almost 9 months ago, I posted this blog post…. I don’t even know how to begin or what to say. All I know is that God has put this longing in my heart, and in the heart of my husband and my kids. It is inexplainable. But it is real. That there is someone out […]

What one homeschool morning looked like….

November 5, 2010

Library trip. Great children’s Librarian…. came home with several good “boy” books. Next morning I am on the computer and this is what Ron says. “Mom, where are all those tin cans we used for dinner?” “In the recycling, Ron….WHY?” “Oh, I am making a knife.” “Okay, Ron. Be careful. Don’t cut yourself. Let me […]

June 14, 2010

After the inital knock down drag out fights….and the yelling and screaming, the kids settled down when a friend called and told me that the summer reading kick off started at the library on Saturday at one! We loaded up the van, headed out the door and down the mountain. We saw a magician, COOL, […]

17 things

May 31, 2010

17. I want my own little camper to decorate and play in. 16. I live life out loud…and sometimes that bothers people. 15. Mostly, I have kept my being adopted private…in a box both literally and emotionally, and only share it with a few choice people. Lately, the lid keeps blowing off. 14. I like […]

Happy Blogiversary!

May 24, 2010

Happy Blogiversary to me! We realized late last night early this morning, that it has been 3 YEARS 2 years….evidently, MATH is not my strong point, since I started blogging! I had been thinking about a blog for a while, but didn’t make the time to sit down and figure all of it out. (I still […]

Mom’s Day

May 11, 2010

I think one of the very best parts of being a mom is that among all the stuff we do that no one notices, love happens…and then one day a year it explodes with cards, kisses, sometimes breakfast in bed and a general “LOVE FEST”! I know the kids love me all the time, but […]

Chicken Soup and Sweet Children

January 9, 2010

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 […]

Happy Fall Y’All!

September 24, 2009

Yippee! I live in one of the coolest places! On the first day of fall, I watched the little town come together to decorate for fall. First the big truck went around and left piles of corn shucks at all the lamp posts up and down SoCo Road, then another truck went by with hay […]

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.
