Babes in Arms

I was just a child the first time the notion of putting on a show entered my mind.  Before i knew what performing was, I was standing on the family hearth belting out tunes and doing inappropriate impersonations such as Mae West's "Heya big boy... Why don't you come up and see me some time?" 


I recall being at Disneyland with my chu...

thankful for the hard road that leads to homeschooling

We have made the choice to "bring our children home" to educate them next fall.  While I'm excited, inspired, and flooded with all emotions wonderful over the thought of teaching them to count and read, to think analytically and creatively, to enjoy the classics, and master the subjects they most enjoy, I'm sick to my stomach each time I think of the initial struggle we'll have learning to "do school" together.  My boys, you see, while tender and compa...

"IN FLANDERS FIELDS"- Lt. Col. John McRae

 

In Flanders fields the poppies blow

Between the crosses, row on row,

In this very room

Goodness, did I ever have a lousy night's sleep!


I felt like I was "jacked up on mountain dew" until about 1am, then slept fitfully for the next few hours.  I woke up throughout the early morning hours, fully alert, without anything on my mind.  By 5:45 I was bleary-eyed but ready for the day, so I opened up God's Word to see what He had on His mind this early morning....

counting the cost

As I walked through the aisles of Target one recent afternoon I passed a young couple holding hands and looking intently at what was before them on the shelf.

Last Saturday our Middle-Miracle swam right into an exciting milestone.  Brodacious (as he's come to refer to himself) finally won enough ribbons in his swim competitions to earn his first. trophy.  EVER!  Not counting the one he received two years ago for showing up to pick daiseys on the Soccer field.

Three of the best hours of my life

The day I married Matt has topped my "best day of my life" chart for nearly 11 years now.  It was a glorious, sunshiny August day on the sandy shore of Redondo Beach, California.  Guests arrived as hymns mingled with the sound of crashing waves; surfers hollered their congratulations from their boards;  and Matt and I vowed "to love one another as we have been loved, forgive one another as we have been fo...

Whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.  (Philippians 4:8 )
