my amazing Valentine

February 15, 2012

I woke up Valentines Day to french toast with powdered sugar and real maple syrup….and hot coffee made just the way I like it! Did David stay home? No….. Ron, nine, and Kiley, seven made me breakfast! And while I was eating, God sent me the perfect rainbow right out the sliver of window I […]

Christmas…sleeping, babies and love

December 25, 2010

There is a hush in the air, a waiting if you will picture it… quiet like snow falling and gently covering the earth. Here in Reno, away from family, and most of our dear friends. I feel calm. I am with the man I love, waiting for our sweet son to be born….and in the […]

Mom’s Day

May 11, 2010

I think one of the very best parts of being a mom is that among all the stuff we do that no one notices, love happens…and then one day a year it explodes with cards, kisses, sometimes breakfast in bed and a general “LOVE FEST”! I know the kids love me all the time, but […]

Easter Fun

April 24, 2010

Every year someone is sick on Easter Sunday. I think that since we have had kids, we have only had one or two Sundays where we all made it to church…this year was one of them. We like to think of it as an Easter miracle! We had a great time on Friday dying eggs […]

Thankful tidings…

December 3, 2009

I have been in a hurry, scurry, kind of mood. Between sick kids, trying to keep caught up from the sick kids, and trying to get ready for Thanksgiving and then Christmas….I am forgetting to “just breathe”. Since Monday when David and I had a delicious day (well, several hours, together alone) exploring Asheville, I […]

Christmas Crazies

December 28, 2008

It seems like this time of year I get so busy that I cannot see straight. Now that Christmas is over, I am suffering from the same virus that the kids got before, during and after Christmas. So now we are tired, sick and trying to enjoy the time we have together before everyone goes […]

Dangerous Women

May we be dangerous women.
May we be women who acknowledge our power to change, and grow, and be radically alive in God.
May we be healers of wounds and righters of wrongs.
May we weep with those who weep and speak for those who cannot speak for themselves.
May we cherish children, embrace the elderly, and empower the poor.
May we pray deeply and teach wisely.
May we be strong and gentle leaders.
May we sing songs of joy and talk down fear.
May we never hesitate to let passion push us , conviction propel us, and righteous anger energize us.
May we strike fear into all that is unjust and evil in the world.
May we dismantle abusive systems and silence lies with truth.
May we shine like stars in a darkened generation.
May we overflow with goodness in the name of God and by the power of Jesus.
And in that name, and by that power, may we change the world.
