Oh, What FUN, Shad is ONE!
Tied UP and Cutting a Way Free
When you were a kid (or hey, maybe you were an adult).... did you ever have someone tie your shoelaces together when you didn't know it? Picture the scenario. You're talking away with someone else, not paying attention to the little deviant lurking in the shadows ready to pounce. They sneak up on …
Living Out Love
FOOD For Thought, Body, and Soul
It is starting to feel like "fall" here. The football games are back on television, the kids are back in school, and the air seems to be turning cooler at night. We have not used our little pool since we returned from vacation in Ohio and I think we may go ahead and drain it - a sure sign of fall…
Are You Discontent?
I have a busy schedule today and I wasn't going to post anything too "heavy", but after prayer this morning, I felt a real urge to take a few extra minutes and talk about what God has on my heart. The topic of being "discontent" has surfaced several times this weekend as friends have been asking ab…
Change Your Perspective
This morning was a lazy morning. It was raining and I stayed in bed later than I should have. The distant thunder and the patter of rain on the window pain seemed to whisper "Don't get up... don't get up..." When I finally crawled out of bed, I had barely meandered out to the kitchen to put on …

Winding Things Down
Another Beautiful Day
Today's post comes to you live from Aunt Phyllis and Uncle John's house where the kids have spent a few hours playing baseball out in the back field and I have been visiting with Aunt Phyllis... until now. I have been able to check my 200+ emails and now sit down and check in with all of you.
Y…
The Forty-One Year Old Stroller, the Jungle, and Other Bits and Pieces
Around Town in the Ol' Nightgown
Okay, so technically it was my capri pajamas, but nonetheless.... bright and early yesterday morning, my father had me out in the van for a tour of my hometown. I awoke early and he had the great idea to take me out before anyone got up. That was fine - but I didn't even have time to put on clothes…
Eventful Week
Hello from the Buckeye State! We arrived at my parent's house last night, tired and yet full of "energy" at the same time. Our trip spanned two days in the car at 7+ hours each. We stopped off first at the Hoosier Family's house (in Indiana) to drop off our beloved pooch, Winston and to rest. Of…
Energizing, Ever Ready, and Dependable

Following Instincts
My mother-in-law and I were talking about "instincts" the other day in regard to her cat. Her cats, Betsy and Henry, have never been "outdoors" or been around other animals (as far as interaction goes). They sit and look out the windows in the kitchen and front living room and watch the cars go …
The Dawning of a New Day
Did You Hear the One About...
Did you ever hear any stories from the late Grady Nutt? He was a well known Baptist Minister and Christian Comedian. We had a cassette tape of his comedic stories (they sounded more like bits on Hee Haw, which he was on) when Pete and I were first married. They were always clean and highly humor…
