Mothers, Untie !
Yep – I let a typo become the title of this entry. Cindy‘s original blog yesterday “Older Mothers of the World Unite” has been quite interesting to watch as comments have doubled overnight. I shared some things on her comments section and posted them here. Not as an indictment of mothers but an admonition to […]...

a couple of links for you…
I can’t resist posting a couple of links… Wes sent me several “Roger Bennett” links tonight. I thought I’d share. I was particularly saddened at the passing of Roger earlier this year as I especially like his music – his piano style and, additionally, was touched by his courageous and arduous battle against Leukemia. Here’s […]...

Cindy’s “Older Mothers of the World Unite”
I was reading Cindy’s Blog and sort of felt compelled to leave a note for her in her comment section. Now, she didn’t need my input – surely all the other entries were sufficient, but I was compelled, nonetheless. She had set up her writing in such a manner as to almost induce others to […]...

“Lost time can never be redeemed.”
That statement rings in my ears. As I thought back on the Titus2 meeting last evening I was mindful of things similar to the title of today’s blog entry… things I had intended to write about this morning but now my train of thought has gone elsewhere. So I continue to mull this over. “… […]...

So, I went to Costco to fill up the van…

The irony of children begging for candy
On Wednesday nights we have a Bible study and dinner with friends of ours. It’s something we all very much look forward to each week. This past week was no different – except for the fact that it was halloween [and Reformation Day, too, by the way]. And our friends live in a quaint neighborhood […]...

The Coarsening of Women
My friend asked me today what I thought of the video that’s making the email circulation rounds quite a bit these days. It’s the ‘Women of Faith’ video of comedian, Anita Renfroe, and her song: Total Momsense – everything a mother says in one 24-hour period condensed into 2 minutes and 55 seconds and put […]...

a smile for the day
My mom sent me this one today… I smiled. The following is the philosophy of Charles Schultz,the creator of the “Peanuts” comic strip. You don’t have to actually answer the questions.Just read and you’ll get the point. 1. Name the five wealthiest people in the world. 2. Name the last five Heisman trophy winners. 3. […]...
