This church has had some gems from heaven falling for a couple years. [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=au4ooZYIkZI&hl=en] As I was watching another video from the same interview (video available at church website), I noticed something reflected in the window, and he turns to see it pass the house; [googlevideo=http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-4900346038946625610] The porch is like 3 feet in the air,…

God is good. I have my theories about why it took me the better part of a third of a century to realize, but nonetheless it is true He is. Not only is he good, He is also relentless. Many times in my life I have misunderstood His passion for vengeance, His love for rebuke,…

I am still here, just a bit too busy to post. Just a quick note to let you know that all is well, oh my God all is well. Here are a couple things I will leave you with; Touch is a higher order sense. I can’t always see God working, but I can always…

And you thought you were a freak… 1. Spam– I love Spam. I especially like it fried. I don’t know if this has anything to do with the fact that I grew up in Minnesota, the state where Spam is made. (Do you know that in Austin, MN, where the Hormel Plant is, they have…

Note: This is the story of how I met my husband. If you don’t want to read gushy, mushy, lovey stuff, I would suggest you stop reading now. It was spring of 1991. I was a music major and we were getting ready to do Handel’s Messiah. I was in a relationship with some guy–(we’ll…

You Are Not Too Old
I am still in my thirties. I have two children. Alexander is 16 and Elizabeth is 13, soon to be 14. Two years ago, I found out I was pregnant. Not a complete surprise, since we had been trying to conceive. David was extremely excited, which may come as a surprise to some, (especially since…

I have some dirt to tell you about. It is filthy and will most likely rock your opinion of me but I have to share. Like sitting in a row of silver haired ladies under acrylic dryers, hearing about other peoples dirt in public just makes it seem that much more interesting, and normal. It…
Read more11:11
I had been seeing this for months before we found out we were pregnant. I have heard somewhere that the number eleven was a phrophetic sign of God’s blessing, and that 11:11 was a double blessing. We found out we were pregnant, blessing number one. I am not sure what the next one will be,…

As you know, we got rid of our t.v. The only time that we have really regretted doing so was during football season. (Or should I say David and the kids regretted it–I like football, but I can take it or leave it–I’d rather take a nap.) And then Lost came back on. We haven’t…

Breaking Stuff
Some of my fondest childhood memories are of dismantling. My parents can attest to the fact that my brothers and I were quite adept at it. In fact the more difficult the challenge, the more we rose to the challenge. A favorite family tale was the Tonka trucks we were given in our youth. Mom…
