Let it snow...As if we really have the say about whether it snows or not? I mean, who can control the weather? Ok, I know, the song is supposed to be about the attitude… just letting go and letting things happen. Disable the control freak mode. I get it. Well, I'm attempting to get it. But, my point today is in the first line of the song. If the weather outside were not so frightful, would … [Read more...] about Let it snow…
Possessed Memory Card
Is it possible that tangible things have a mind of their own? I'm serious; this devilish memory card in my husband's camera decided to stop working on Christmas morning. OF ALL MORNINGS! So after coming up with an alternate solution for the Christmas morning glory, I kept thinking about that memory card. How did it get wiped out? Why did it stop working? Why does it say there are no files … [Read more...] about Possessed Memory Card
A Road less traveled
This morning I ventured out of the house to run a few Christmas errands. In an effort to avoid traffic, I chose a road that is newly built, only in existence for the last year. It is four lanes and has roundabouts; and it's great! The amazing thing is that I don't think people remember that it is there. There was hardly any traffic on it today, but as soon as I turned on the main street that … [Read more...] about A Road less traveled
Lovin’ Chick Fil A
Yesterday I was driving two of my children to the church for their kids' choir event day. It was early morning and we were chatting about what to expect as the day unfolded. While nothing in writing had come to my attention, both my son and daughter seemed to be most excited about getting to eat at Chick Fil A at the mall for lunch. Since I didn't have paper to back this up, I asked, "Well, how … [Read more...] about Lovin’ Chick Fil A
Green Beans and Jelly Beans
Several years ago, my oldest son was watching me feed his older disabled sister. As I placed the green beans in her mouth, she made quite the face. Her younger brother received the definite message that she did NOT like green beans. His response, "Taylor doesn't like green beans, Mom. (slight pause)How about jelly beans?" He was definitely going to bat for her! His negotiating skills haven't … [Read more...] about Green Beans and Jelly Beans
I “leaved” it in my head…
Yesterday my oldest son and I were having a conversation about discretion. "What is discretion?" he asked. "Well, it is deciding how to act or talk BEFORE you respond to situations," was my impromptu reply on a second grade level. This took me back two years ago to having a similar conversation with him. At that time, he was in kindergarten and after school one day, we began to discuss his … [Read more...] about I “leaved” it in my head…
Like Curious George
On Monday, my four year old dropped a dozen eggs at the checkout. I had already paid for them and he was "just twying to help" by bagging them. They didn't make the bag. Yesterday he was infatuated with a light up snowman decoration on the window sill. Needless to say the snowman no longer lights up. As soon as he became a toddler, he reminded me of Curious George. He never means to make … [Read more...] about Like Curious George
How Deep the Father’s Love for Us
Ever wake up with a song in your heart? Then it plays over and over in your mind the entire day? Today was one of those days for me. I finally googled the song, thinking it was an old hymn. To my surprise, it was written in 2003 by Stuart Townend. The volumes spoken by the lyrics in this song completely overwhelm my soul.God turned His back on His Son for the sinners we have been, are and … [Read more...] about How Deep the Father’s Love for Us
