Just a quick thought:
I really hate being angry. It makes me angry to be angry. I also hate my own behavior when I’m angry. AAARGH!
Today I went to the bank to deposit Paul’s paycheck into the ATM. I should have done this 3 days ago.
Wouldn’t you know they didn’t have the envelope container stocked, and […]

Ever wonder who shops at Hot Topic? Well, today, Paul and I did. It was quite an experience.
For those of you who aren’t teen-relevant or are currently in another country, Hot Topic is a retail store that sells clothes, accessories and other random paraphernalia that primarily center around a few things: (a) the color black […]

Last night at our LIFE group, we were talking about how to “make the most of every opportunity” (Colossians 3:5b) with people in our lives. It was a great discussion. One of the things that came up in discussion was that “making the most of every opportunity” doesn’t always mean talking. Sometimes it means listening.

Remember that song from the 80’s, “Addicted to Love”?
Well, it seems that I’ve become addicted to Site Meter.
It all started with a techno-savvy friend of ours that kept asking my husband if he had installed “Site Meter” onto my site. He hadn’t. I finally just downloaded and installed the darn thing myself.
I was so […]

Last Friday my good friend, Nancy, invited me and my girls to Barnes and Noble to hear Mr. Richard, a children’s music singer/songwriter. I was a little skeptical because I’d never seen a live performance by a children’s musician, but I love my friend’s company, so I agreed to go. When we got there, the […]

I have recently started a new series in the Sunday School class for high school students that I teach at UPC. It’s simply called “Idolatry”; we’re currently covering the biblical and historical record of idol worship by the Israelites. For our purposes, we’ve defined an “idol” as “something or someone that we worship instead of […]

My good friend Erik recently emailed a link to a “blog” written by a fellow alumnus of Rift Valley Academy (In Kijabe, Kenya. How cool is that?!)
No big deal, right? Just another blog, right?
Wrong.
The blog is called The Tapestries of Oquis Book One: Tangled Threads. It’s not a blog. It’s a book. Or a book-in-the-making, […]

I hate thank-you notes. Really.
Aside from being interested to see what kind of thank-you notes people choose (the actual card design), I could care less if I receive them or not. I’d actually rather not.
I enjoy buying gifts for people I love. I like thinking of them, and what they’d like. I receive great pleasure […]

The other night I submitted a few of my articles for consideration in Radiant magazine. It was a scary and exciting, asking a stranger to read (and like) my blog articles. It took me a long time to compose that email to the editor in a way that was true to who I am. I […]

For those of you wondering who “house.gov” is, (drumroll please….)
John Mimikakis, Deputy Chief of Staff for the Committee on Science, US House of Representatives!
It’s really not a terribly interesting story, but here it goes:
John Mimikakis is a good friend of my sister and her husband, and he apparently “Googled” “Fletcher Adair Keith” which gave him […]
