Accentuate the Positive?
Pin itOK people. I am constantly riding my kids about whining, and lately I’ve been looking a little bit closer at myself. In short, my own whining and complaining have been bugging me about myself. It comes and goes – depending on how right I am and how wrong others are. Either way, I am [...]
Backdraft #3: It's in the Details…
Pin itDrafted on February 7, 2006 I learn so much about God through my children. In particular, I learn about the grace he gives to us – the love he pours out. At times, I struggle with value and why any Being could love me in spite of my faults. Then I think about my [...]
Outbursts of love…
Pin itIn the New International Version translation of Hebrews 10:24, it reads, \”And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds.\” I know there is controversy over different Bible translations, but I love the New Living Translation version: \”Think of ways to encourage one another to outbursts of [...]
Happy News
Pin itI was listening to talk radio one morning, and I heard an interview about happynews.com. I visited the site, and found the news to be, well, happy. Good. Nice. Refreshing. The weather was happy. The horoscope was even ?happy? (and I am not a \”horoscope\” person). The news was good. I\’m a regular now. [...]

One lady shared how moths NEED to struggle out of their cocoons in order to strengthen their wings. Likewise, OUR times of struggling can be a [...]
You know how…
Pin itsome nursing mothers (even some who have past that stage) say they sometimes experience the feeling of their milk \”letting down\” when they hear a baby cry? Not only their own, but ANY baby… I\’ve never experienced that, probably because I rarely had \”let down\” while actually nursing – another topic for another time… [...]
The Juice is Worth the Squeeze
Pin itI stumbled upon The Blue Sloth a few days ago. I enjoy reading clippits of other bloggers… their careers, their season in life… So, when I came across this blog, I read the sections on the right – \”Who\”, \”What\”, and \”Why\”. The quote below is from his \”What\” section\”… \”I\’m a wildly imaginative, [...]
Evenflo's "Brand" of Customer Support
Pin itSticky fingers won and suddenly I have a magician or two that can make the irreplaceable, forever disappear. A small metal piece from an Evenflo highchair was lost in the process of cleaning the seat cover and straps. I contacted Evenflo for a replacement part. It turns out that one cannot replace much with [...]
Growing into Mediocrity
Pin itI grew up in a small town, and I went to a small private school from 5th grade on. I graduated with 12. I grew up in an environment where it was pretty easy to attain success. With minimal competition, it was easy for a fairly shy pre-teen to blossom into a confident, self-assured [...]
