I’m Not Praying Anymore (April 1, 2007)
Got your attention, didn’t I? Well, it’s true. I’m not praying anymore. At least about something that I’m waiting for resolution from God on. It’s not that I’m not praying, it’s just that I have to pray differently. I have to pray for myself to trust that God knows what is best and will provide…

My Librarian’s Husband (March 31, 2007)
Two or three times a month, the check-out desk of our local library is adorned with a splendid array of fresh flowers. Gorgeous flowers! One day I asked Mrs. G if she would teach a class on how to love one’s husband. After all, she’s been married for 25 years, she’s raised 3 children, and…

The Just-Say-No! Card (March 29, 2007)
Ouch! Ouch! Ouch! I got kicked in the rear end and it HURTS! How? To tell you the truth, I’m kicking myself. Want to know why? Alright, I’ll tell you. An opportunity presented itself to make a little extra dough, which sounded great for the upcoming homeschooling conference. And it’s doing what I love and…

This is a gift…not torture! (March 25, 2007)
Our church is reading through the bible in a year. I’m doing my best to keep up. I’m not beating myself up about the days I miss (Romans 8:1)…I’m just celebrating the days I hit. For a while there, in the early books of the old testament, we spent a lot of time reading about…

Science Museum & Plastic Surgery (March 23, 2007)
We had quite a wonderful day at the science museum yesterday. The littles learned a lot (had to make the alliterative sentence there, you know). We were there with an admired homeschool friend, G. She’s 18 and mine are 7 and under. So she’s a MAJOR hero in their world. Toward the end of our…

Spring Sailing (March 21, 2007)
It’s a bit dreary here weather wise, but we’re having a blast. While at moms’ group today, G pulled at his ear with a bit of fussiness. Yes, he’s only 4 months and yes, that was only the second ear tug in 18 hours, but I’m an ear-infection nazi, so I called the chiro right…

The Power of Agreement (March 21, 2007)
Scripture tells us in many places the power of words and the power of agreement. I think in no other place on earth is agreement more powerful than between a husband and wife. When they agree on something…anything, they can change the world! It may be agreement to change the financial situation and for some…

Suave Suzuki Sisters (March 20, 2007)
It’s not a topic oft discussed, at least not in the circles within which I dizzy myself. Yet I find I must make mention of it here. We’re familiar with the Suzuki method of instruction, primarily for violin, right? In January, T started taking violin from a wonderful instructor. I say wonderful because I haven’t…

Ramblings Upon Re-entry (Mar. 2, 2007)
Haven’t posted here in a while and it’s only because we got so carried away with the living of life, there was no time to document it. Since my last post, we’ve added G to our family. That was November and already we can’t imagine life without him. So I’ve gone through my post partum-ness,…

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…
