Sometimes I wish life could just stay the same. That’s the lazy side of me not wanting to exert the energy that change requires. Or maybe it’s the insecure Me who likes the security and comfort of The Way It’s Always Been. It could also be the frightened me who is afraid [...]

Making it special
Posted in Uncategorized on January 29, 2007 | 9 Comments »
We’ve already come a long way: we set the table for every meal, every one sits down together, and there hasn’t been a tv in sight of our table for years. As I told Jenn last week, I well remember the days when we came home from work, turned the tv on and plunked [...]
BRF: 1 Timothy

It’s been a day. I should be asleep now, but in honour of Anti-Procrastination Week over at The Sparrow’s Nest, I will stay up long enough to type my review rather than put it off until tomorrow.
This is one full book. It covers so much, and I have lots of questions that I [...]
Throwing out a challenge

This post from Mrs. Wilt has challenged me. For a while last fall, I dug out the china every week for Sunday lunch and kept saying I was going to polish up the silver so we could make Sunday a little special. Life became hectic, I became overwhelemed, and we were back to [...]
Book Re-review Friday

I think I get it now. Ruth had no idea that she was working out God’s plan for the geneology of the Messiah. She was a regular girl facing a difficult situation, and she just did the best she could with what she had. She worked hard, honoured her mother-in-law and obeyed [...]
Book Review Friday: Ruth
Posted in BRF on January 19, 2007 | 2 Comments »
Nothing earth-shattering to report. I had no ‘wow’ moments while reading Ruth, which is disappointing ~ but maybe I’ll get my wow when I read the other reviews. So I’ll type this quickly and head over to Shannon’s blog to see what others have to say.
I’ve just typed and retyped and typed again, [...]
Comfort food

I was grocery shopping with one of my sisters a couple of weeks ago, and she happened upon me drooling over the corned beef briskets in the meat section. Her comment was, “You always look at strange things.” I guess she’s never thought of corned beef in the whole course of her life, [...]
Nothing to report.

It’s been three days since my last post, so I feel compelled to say something. Anything. I can’t stand to see my sitemeter stats dropping after a couple of days without something new to read.
The silence isn’t owing to a lack of things for me to say, it’s trying to decide what to [...]
Teachable moments

My sister wrote a great post about a time when she took advantage of a teachable moment with her daughter. You should head on over and read it.
Huge.

This is huge, folks. Seriously huge.
One small step for mankind, one giant step for me.
Let me give you some background information. One year ago I was eagerly anticipating the arrival of Baby Boy. With three months to go, I was hit by what I can only imagine is a very strange nesting [...]
