What were you thinking?? Are you serious?? I just don’t trust you. Three statements that can crush a man. There are many more, but they all share similar characteristics; from the woman they love, these words inflict wounds that do not heal. I don’t think most women understand how much impact we have on our men. There are so... Continue Reading →
Know Your People
I am meeting with my boss in a little while. He doesn't really seem like a boss, it's a part-time job that I get to do from home, exactly the kind of work I need to do to keep me busy and fulfilled and I'm working for my best friend's company. My 'supervisor' is the... Continue Reading →
Lights
Each year we pull out all of the lights, decorations and garland to decorate for Christmas, like most folks. It is a tradition that I relish and my guy does not. This year was a little later than most because we were waiting for our girl to come home and help, she enjoys it about... Continue Reading →
Control
Last week my guy visited our daughter for Thanksgiving break. She is in school in Maine, started this fall and her Dad hadn't had the opportunity to go there until now. I was very excited for the two of them, for him because he would finally see all that we had described, and for our... Continue Reading →
Faith Restored
Life can make a person pretty cynical if we're not careful. Turn on the news and hear about abductions, terrorist attempts and people murdering their 'loved ones' - it's enough on any given day to make you question where we are going as a society.

They record themselves doing one-shot performances and this one is my favorite so far because of their pure sound and the lyrics. Notice the guy with long hair as he sings; typically he is the lead... Continue Reading →
Time’s Up
On a plane recently the flight attendant announced that it was time to place our phones into airplane mode while we were about to take off. Immediately I remembered an important email that had to be sent, couldn’t wait the three plus hours until I had another opportunity. I tried to shoot off a quick note, but... Continue Reading →
Growing Up
I grew up with the notion that God was distant and omnipotent, loving His people, but ready to punish and discipline as needed. I don’t fault my Sunday School teachers and their felt boards and characters, but the stories of Noah’s Ark, Jonah and the Whale and even Daniel in the Lion’s Den didn’t do... Continue Reading →
Last Minute
On the plane recently the flight attendant announced that it was time to power down all electronics while we were about to take off. Of course, we know that this practice will soon be extinct, but yesterday the rule was still in place. Immediately I remembered an important email that had to be sent, couldn’t... Continue Reading →
