Confession Time
Did that get your attention? Well, here’s my confession. I got a pedicure today. I know, I know. Was it necessary? No. Was it actually a budgeted expense? Not really…not unless you count it as mental health care costs. Did my family swing from the light fixtures while I was gone? Probably. But am I [...]

The Right-Now
I’m watching a Reds game right now. I’m also missing my babies right now (they’re spending the night at their grandparents’ house). I’m making a mental list of things to add to tomorrow’s to-do list right now. I’m writing a blog post right now. Lots of things going on right now. But that’s nothing compared [...]

Emotional Changes
I haven’t written much lately. There’s a reason for that. It isn’t because I haven’t had time, although to be fair, I don’t think I would ever have time to do much unless I just set my head to do it. Two little ones, a full-time job that is more than full-time, a minister’s home, [...]
Settling in…
I’m ready to go to bed. It’s been a busy day, hasn’t it? Easter Sunday, and all of Holy Week around it, has been crazy-ville around our household. It generally is, as I’m often reminded that this is one of the busiest weeks of the year for our ministry-called husbands. We have seen a lot [...]

Who, me? Competitive? No way… (?)
The Reds opened their season on Thursday with a walk-off home run win in the 9th. Doesn’t get more exciting than that. I screamed and whooped and hollered until I was hoarse. GO REDS. The good-natured ribbing (or maybe not-so-good natured?) has already begun between my friends who support other teams. I’m wanting my Reds [...]
Owning Up
I’ve been bad. That in and of itself really isn’t news…just ask anyone who knows me. But I am confessing that I’ve done a bad job this month on this blog. For those of you who read regularly, I openly apologize. Although I often wonder what it is that I really have to offer, and [...]

No Pain, No Gain…or Loss
So, it’s Spring, right? Well, not really. But after the winter we’ve been “experiencing,” the past few days of flirting with actual non-cold has a girl hoping. Plus, for those of you who are largely uninformed about very important things, (insert sarcastic grin here) today (by the time you are reading this) is a national [...]

I Choose Joy
A friend of mine reminded me recently that I told her something fairly profound last year. “I choose joy.” A little smile crossed my lips when I thought about that. Sometimes something good comes out of my unruly mouth. It’s rare, to be sure, but sometimes even I surprise myself. That little statement has helped [...]

The Countdown
As I stood at the kitchen counter shaking out vitamins and carefully counting out glucosomine tablets for my pitiful, fairly-blown-0ut knee (thank you, Atlanta airport!), I was struck by how many things I had counted today. I could probably get a job at Mission Control for all the countdowns I’d done. Let’s see, here’s at [...]
