a little bit about me

…As if you needed to know more!
I saw this little questionnaire on Amanda’s blog today and thought it would be fun to do. I kinda have blog block.  There are a number of devotional posts simmering in the back of my head right now, and Halloween photos are not ready to happen yet, so I’ve [...]

somewhere there is a man…..

Somewhere there is a man…
Who is cursing my name.
How do I know?  Well.  There is a story.
A couple of weeks ago Atlanta had a flood. You may have heard about it.  Creeks and rivers washed over bridges, roads fell apart.  Every where if a road was low lying, it was swamped.
Two days after the flood, [...]

weird question

so, I’m sitting in a hard wooden pew.
At the funeral of a fine upstanding man of God.  His Granddaughter is one of my dearest friends and we needed to be there for her. But we also respected Grandpa, so it was a no-brainer.
My husband is sitting next to me holding Ginny.  Ginny is quietly sucking [...]

well hail did freeze over…

Okay. This weekend went better than I expected on a number of fronts.
First off I took out that wretched pony tail while I was still at work on Friday.  I went to the bathroom armed with a hairbrush and an iron determination that I would come out of there with hair that looked at least [...]

don’t cross the screams..I mean streams

I was getting bogged down (or is that blogged down?) in the search for a new blog name.
All kinds of creative things were percolating around in my busy brain.  I knew I liked the water/bridge motiff.  I really liked the stream idea, since they are such a great metafore for life.  Water, the Holy Spirit, [...]

no more scream?

On the other hand you would not believe how many people just don’t understand.  They see that name whenever I leave a comment and they make a snap judgment about [...]

strawberry fields for ginny

Ginny has now gone through the basic veggies.
carrots, sweet potatoes, green peas, squash, green beans
all were accepted without a fuss.
She is ready to graduate to fruit next week.  But there is one fruit we will not be starting any time soon: strawberries. Because I don’t want this to happen to Ginny like it happened to [...]

the electronic baby book

I do not want to take attention away from what is happening in India right now. It is hugely meaningful and we all need to jump on the bandwagon and sponsor a child.
But since this blog is in essence a type of electronic baby book,  I do feel compelled to record the fact that my [...]

morning funnies

My brother doesn’t do mornings.
Frankly neither do I.  Or at least I wouldn’t if I didn’t have to in order to make a living in the real world. *sigh*  Most mornings I would love to have a cup of tea delivered to me, wrap up in a blanket, sit on the porch, read a book [...]

mom-cuts….aren’t

I want my long hair back.
Frankly I could just strangle all the people who ganged together to convince me that short hair was the best choice I could make as a new mother.
What was I thinking?
let’s walk through this, slowly.
Back when I had long hair I had lots of different, elegant looks available to me.  [...]
