A Haunting Night Gives Birth To Light…
Christmas Eve feels a lot like Good Friday to me. I reflect on the hardship that took place so many years ago. The terrain that young couple had to travel would no doubt have been a challenge. The labor. The frustration of no accommodations. The haunting fear of the unknown. I ponder what it may have feltContinue reading “A Haunting Night Gives Birth To Light…”
Age Haters Beware!…
As of yesterday. I am 30. Bye bye 20’s. You were fun. Hello, back aches, special lotions and pulled muscles. 30 is a big deal to most people. Myself included. In fact, I’ve been dreading this birthday. And now I feel like a chump. I totally bought in to the cultures lies that aging is like kissingContinue reading “Age Haters Beware!…”
Picture Of The Week…
This was an easy one. Every year I try to get a good picture of the kids sitting in front of the Christmas tree. Its a little blurry but its the best one I could get and at least they are both smiling! Just 5 more days till Christmas Eve, I really can’t believe it!
He Came To Bring War, I Mean Peace…
If there is anything I struggle with most, year round it is the presence of inner peace. Am I the only one? There are so many ways peace is choked out of the day.

Picture Of The Week…
Lately I have seen bloggers doing this and I really like it, so I’m taking it. I have a feeling no one will mind.

But I wont do that.Continue reading “Picture Of The Week…”

Last weekend marked the first week of Advent. And I was chatting with my sister and asked her…”Do you guys (her and her husband) have any Christmas morning traditions?” She looked at me and nonchalantly said, “No”. I gasped. I couldn’t conceive of a traditionless Christmas. I probed “…you don’t even have any special breakfast you makeContinue reading “A Holiday Full Of Traditiony Strains…”

Three Years With Lucy Keeps Life Interesting…
My Lucy turns three today and therefore she will have a post dedicated to her. Lucy is just as joy-giving as she is infuriating. She’s three…you know how that is.

She screams like nothing IContinue reading “Three Years With Lucy Keeps Life Interesting…”
