It’s rainy & cold here. We’ve been inside all morning. The kids are loud but my world is quiet… on the verge of lonely. I feel the battle raging within, the familiar struggle to believe I’m loved and that any of this is really as important as everyone says it is.
Then [...]

Right now I’m watching something really deep on the E! channel. It’s not like there’s nothing better on. I could watch the History channel. I could turn the TV off. I could read a book. I could listen to music and write a letter. I could do a German lesson. I could do something productive [...]

Enough people have bothered me about it so I just took the plunge. It’s as though I swallowed the red pill… Right now it’s very lonely down there being that I don’t have any friends. I shant beg for friends, but… (long pause), if you like me enough… (long pause), maybe we can [...]

Hi everybody. Thanks for the encouraging comments about my ordination. I wanted to give my perspective on the experience. It was probably one of the most surreal experiences.

Yesterday was an incredible day. Jeff was ordained as a minister of the gospel in the PCA! In other words, he’s a Reverend now… for those of you who know us well enough - or who have read enough of this blog - might be laughing right now but it’s for real

The other night Jeff was checking one of MY friend’s blogs (who shall remain nameless) and he made some annoying comment like: “they never update their blog” — and that started a rather intense conversation about what it means to share a blog with someone else. This is all rather funny that he is [...]

I admit that these faces & moments are such a part of my daily reality that they don’t even seem silly or cute half of the time. I’ve grown so accustomed to seeing the faces and expressions of my children at lunch, so it’s not until I get them on the camera do I get [...]

Jeff here. As you can see I haven’t blogged in a LONG time. I thought I would chime in with my own resolutions for 2008. Frankly, I find New Year’s resolutions kinda silly because I know I’ll never keep them. Have a laugh on me.
10. Floss twice a day
9. Eat fewer [...]
