Pivoting in Place
Nope, I really haven’t moved. Seems since 1998 I’ve been in the exact same place. That’s the kind of person I think I am, though. I bloom where I’m planted. And guess what? I like my pot. It’s a nice pot, plenty of sun, good soil, I’m watered regularly. Sometimes I have to be repotted…

The Night Before
It’s the night before we take our fourth child to the campus of his college. Or is it the night before our fourth son embarks on his college journey? Both are true. The first is about me and how I’m feeling. The other is about him. Same space of time. Same people in the house.…

Wednesday, July 30
Sunday, July 30: Home Morning The details don’t matter. J & A walked out together with all the paperwork, supplies, and instructions for healing at home. PRAISE yeah…just praise the Lord! So much to be grateful for! PRAYER In the midst of it all, in every detail…is Jesus. Messages left in blog comments can be…

Tuesday, July 29
Tuesday, July 29: Ask & Ask Again All Day The day started after a bumpy night to a floor that was the wrong floor. Then a new doc said something. Then the (also new) dietitian said something. Things that contradicted what J & A have been told the last 10 days. What was a possible…

The Psalms (Mar. 2, 2007)
It just occured to me the other night that the Psalms are David’s blog. Yes, the book of Psalms in that trusty bible you tote everywhere. We call it something different in every time period. Sometimes people journal. But when you journal and it’s on the internet, it’s a blog. If we were to modernize…

I Choose Not to Let Go of the Wagon (March 30, 2013)
Old Westerns. Classic. You know during the big chase scene when some manlier-than-any-man guy is being tossed off the wagon by evil-guy-who-doesn’t-respect-women dude and super-great-guy just won’t be deterred from his cause or his true love? You know how he grabs onto the hub of the wheel or some rope hanging and the horses are…

I Choose Better Music (March 29, 2013)
Somebody needs to radically change workout music. Yes, I can MP3 my own stuff, but… …the musical selections on fitness videos has left a lot to be desired since the advent of the industry. Some music grooves at a fast tempo, but the subtle lyrics in the background is just not what I want to…

I Choose to Bask in the Sun (March 27, 2013)
Okay, so I don’t even know if it hit 40 today. What I do know is that my neighbor’s driveway gets great afternoon sun. I sat there, playing sidewalk chalk with Baby Dragon and her friend. Every few minutes the older boys would approach to ask me something about bike riding, snacks, or bike riding…

Four Tenths. Weight of the World. (March 26, 2013)
So this week is a whopping four tenths of a pound loss! And I’m celebrating it!! I definitely low on exercise and high on sodium this past week. But… …Ethnic Man had a slipped disc. All five children got sick at some point: stomach ache, colds, asthma attacks, bodily fluids emitting when they shouldn’t (’nuff…
