Chicken Soup and Sweet Children

January 9, 2010

I am sitting here on this snowy Saturday, surfing the internet and filling my brain full of new things. Today I have learned how to save all my favorites on delicious.com so that no matter what computer I am on, I can access my list. I think that anyone can also see my list…but I […]

magic

January 5, 2010

I was driving today alone down the mountain from Cataloochee ski slope when the sun and the snow combined to create the most magical effect. Time stood still as the snow turned to glitter and danced before my eyes. It was truly wonderful. I am glad to be alive!

more fall…

December 3, 2009

Harrell took a walk one morning and this little waterfall is just down the road from our house…it is a reminder to stop and enjoy the beauty of this area. It is amazing how incredible it is everywhere you look! This is our massive closet…and our fun group of kids, cousin, boyfriend and friend all […]

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 […]

Thoughts on Truth from Facebook….

November 23, 2009

One of my son’s friends posted this on Facebook. I really felt like it was thought-provoking. What do you think? “It’s funny how this age of people hates truth, they even kill each other over it, and yet try to search for it every day. Most will never really find it, because deep down inside […]

Rollercoasters

June 11, 2009

One of my favorite movies is Parenthood. David and I saw it for the first time right before Baylee was born. We laughed, cried and made our parents watch it when they came after Baylee was born. Now, 19 years later, I can relate to the rollercoaster analogy even more. (If you haven’t seen this […]

This weekend our neighbors had our family and the two other familys on our sweet street for lunch. They fixed a feast of barbequed pork, baked beans, two kinds of slaw, deviled eggs, fruit, lemon cake for dessert….it was amazing! The food was fabulous, but even better was the company. We have been blessed with […]

giving God the Glory

May 15, 2009

I was checking out of the grocery the other day…had to run in to get hamburger for dinner. Don’t you hate it when you have everything you need for dinner, except the main ingredient? Anyway, as I was checking out the cashier was telling the customer in front of me about having surgery on her […]

Happy Earth Day…

April 22, 2009

I find it interesting to dedicate a day to “saving the planet”. I have been thinking about this for a while. I like that people are reminded to take care of their environment, but when I think about the way I was raised, I was taught to do that every day. We didn’t call it […]

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.
