The Popularity Contest
I have come to the startling revelation lately that not everyone likes me. Now, now, I know you’re thinking there’s no way that could be true — LOL! — but alas, yes, it is true. I realized over the holidays that I spent an inordinate amount of time wanting people to like me. That is, [...]

Expectations
There are a lot of little kids…and some adults…with a list of quite a few expectations that will either be met or not over the next couple of days That word gets bandied about probably more than it should. In the workforce, employees are held to meet “expectations” — a defined set of goals and/or [...]

Peace
Several years ago, my husband and I asked my grandfather what he wanted for Christmas. His reply became legendary in our household. “Peace of mind,” he said simply. He made such a simple statement, but it was full of meaning. As Christmas approaches, there are a lot of people longing for that. In a pastor’s household, [...]

“Don’t they love GOD?!?!”
Often times the simplest truths come out of our innocent childrens’ mouths. At Good Morning Farm, the Beckham household has been having a lot of goat-related issues. Yes, you read that correctly. I said we were having some goat-related issues. We have 6 goats. Some of these are actually registered milk goats — I say [...]
Temper, Temper…
I watched as my little girl threw a doozy of a fit this evening. It was an all-out, down in the floor, screaming at the top of her lungs protest to her father and me. As far as fits go, it was pretty impressive. Honestly, although it was annoying and grated on my nerves like [...]
Seasons Change
When I was a kid living at home, one of the things I remember about my mom and her houses was that she liked to change ‘em up. Wherever we lived, she would rearrange furniture very frequently (frequently may be a relative term, but still…). She would change bedrooms around from one to another, she [...]
Sunday afternoon naps
I’ve just about come out of my mourning period since the Reds lost to the Phillies in the National League Division Series. I didn’t even get to use the tickets I’d bought for “Home Game 2″ since there was no “home game 2.” Although we still have playoffs going on, leading to the World Series, [...]

Step Out of the Boat…whether you can swim or not.
A very special group of ladies asked me to come and speak at their ladies retreat this coming Saturday. When I asked what they would like for me to talk about, I really wasn’t given a directive at all. I was just told that their theme was “Step Out of the Boat.” These sweet ladies [...]

Caring for the sick…
It’s been quite the past couple of weeks at the Beckham household. Labor Day weekend was very laborious as the Beckham children, and soon after, the Beckham husband, came down with pretty awful colds/sinus infections/upper respiratory infections/call it what you may. The fun included stuffy heads, barking coughs, sore throats, fevers, lack of sleep for [...]
