Improving my love of life…. through loving God, self and others
I am one big step closer to wearing reading glasses. Recently my daughter talked me into trying some on in a cute boutique, and we found some that were palatable. Sigh….how did this happen? She then explained to me the biological reasons for my fine tuning fuzziness, in an effort to make me feel better... Continue Reading →
I have a friend who is young, smart, talented and very single. By that I mean that she considers herself eligibly unlucky, watching all her friends and family tie the knot while she has yet to meet anyone who she would consider marriage material. This woman is gorgeous and faithful that God will provide a... Continue Reading →
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eKyY8zfjBMQ Maybe you’re different, but it is very easy for me to pull up a negative remark that someone has said about me, or that someone has told me that someone else has said. Bring up a weak quality about myself and I can probably run through a catalogue of opinions/observations/comments that have been made,... Continue Reading →
“Did you know that there are people in Mexico who live in boxes, Mama?” My sweet, sunny first grader was working on her homework at the counter while I cooked dinner. She had been learning about another culture at school and this point had stuck. I looked at her carefully and saw that she... Continue Reading →

Every night while I am cooking dinner, this happens. The dogs rush outside to play for about three minutes and then stand at the door, waiting to come back inside. Meanwhile, the two cats are keeping guard at said door, waiting to launch themselves outside, over or under the dogs. Sometimes I will get... Continue Reading →
This year I have been growing tomatoes from seed. What this means is that I am experimenting with going from placing a tiny seed in the dirt all the way to pulling a red, ripe tomato off the vine at just the right time. Simple enough, right? At least, that’s what I thought. Turns out... Continue Reading →
Because of the work that I do, I get to research the subjects of marriage, love, sex and the Christian church. Almost two years ago I ran across a study done by Dr. John Gottman, who claims to be able to predict the success of a marriage with 80% accuracy based on one thing: subtle... Continue Reading →
I was running one day last week, more like fast walking if compared to my kids who run every stinking day, and using an app on my phone that maps the route, distance and time. My favorite feature about this app is that each time you tick a mile, a female voice announces your progress... Continue Reading →
About a year ago my guy and I watched a documentary called Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead. I had heard about it from a friend, and thought it might be good for us to learn more about the relationship between food and health. It was a very interesting film that convicted us to start to...
