7 quick takes 12 (My Siblings)
It’s Friday, and I hope for your sake that I’m the only one with that song stuck in my head. Anyway, as per usual, Friday means it’s time for 7 Quick Takes, hosted by the lovely Jen over at Conversion Diary! After my last 7 Quick Takes (The Power of Positive Thinking) post, this last [...]
I was never a fan of Lifetime movies, but . . .
I have to be honest, I never really liked Lifetime movies. They always seemed so improbable – stuff like that never happens in real life. You know the type, Sally Field in a panic, searching for her daughter in an Arab country. Fuzzy focus, high-waisted jeans, lots of drama & melodrama. I used to hate [...]
Note to self: It’s not a competition, Stupid!
I am enormously blessed to have many friends. Some of my friends have parents who were able to pay for their education. One of my friends’ parents even paid for their car, still pay for their credit card, and for their ticket home to visit. Some of my friends have bought houses already, and have [...]
7 quick takes 11 (The Power of Positive Thinking Edition)
Friday means it’s time for 7 Quick Takes, hosted by the lovely Jen over at Conversion Diary! It’s been a rough week for me. I’ve written about the dr’s appt (sorry about all that whining) and it seems like that was a trigger that tipped my stupid system toward a deep lethargic low. And, as [...]
By the Grace of God Alone
I’m starting to think that every single person in this country should spend time in a classroom. You know how Israel has compulsory military service for citizens? I want something like that for America. Not everyone is cut out to teach, but even the most challenged, most short-tempered person can cut out templates in the [...]
7 Quick Takes 10
My God, I’ve been doing 7 Quick Takes for 10 weeks. You know what else I could have done in this time, if I was sticking to things? I could be back in my old jeans, for one thing. Well, I guess that does it. By 7 Quick Takes 20 I’m going to be back [...]
Lent – a Protestant Perspective
Lent is here, in ash-covered wonder, and we all take a deep breath and focus our thoughts on the suffering of Christ. As we start this season, I asked a dear friend of mine to write about her personal experience of Lent. Rachael is a strong, confident, and holy woman whom I admire & respect. [...]
Mardi Gras
So, if you read yesterday’s post, which was a part of the Lenten Linkup over at Alluring World, you saw my self-congratulatory rambling on my Lenten theme, but I didn’t give any specifics. Well, believe me, my inner Martha wouldn’t let me get away with not having very specific, concrete goals, so here they are: [...]
LENT!
Kayla at Alluring World is hosting a lovely Lent Link Up, and if you’re interested you should head over there to check it out! Every year, for a long time I’d give up swearing for lent. And every year, fora a long time, I’d fail miserably. Last year I gave up Diet Pepsi. Well, technically [...]
