Friday was all around [...]

It Takes A Village…Or Just a Church

A friend of mine is going through some hard times with her church – specifically her church’s nursery. While writing her a note of encouragement, I realized why it doesn’t bother me that my church got rid of the nursery.
The nursery has been gone for about a year now at church for predominantly monetary reasons. [...]

Notes From The Week

I don’t have a specific topic today, so I’m just going to list some news and notes:
* Zach is exactly like Buzz Lightyear. He can fly. He’s good-looking. He’s awesome. He’s from outerspace.

Speak Loud

“Everyone who listens to these words of mine and acts on them will be like a wise man who built his house on rock. The rain fell, the floods came, and the winds blew and buffeted the house. But it did not collapse; it had been set solidly on rock. And everyone who listens to [...]

Crank That

Yes, I know. I am the whitest girl alive. (though right now I’m various shades of white and red and tannish, thanks to the zoo, field day and other random outdoor activities).
But the title of this post doesn’t refer to Soulja Boy. It refers to my car. My lovely, lovely Nissan Altima died on me [...]
