Sep 06, 2010“I came, I saw, I conquered,” were the famous words of Julius Caesar in 47 BC. He was describing his victory in the Battle of Zela in his speech to the Roman Senate. From what I understand, that terse sentence was the full text of the speech. Wow. You’ve gotta admire a man of few words. He gotter […]

Sep 02, 2010There was a tv show by that name. Do you remember it? Bill Cosby was the host of this hilarious program that showcased bright children answering questions on very adult topics.

Read MoreNotes From My Quiet Time
Aug 31, 2010My personal quiet time as been filled with rich details about Solomon’s kingdom lately. I’m knee deep into 2 Chronicles, and I’m not studying it to teach it but just to be edified by it. There is certainly a difference. My “spiritual lenses” focus much more personally when I’m looking into the Scripture to hear […]

Aug 30, 2010I keep telling Priscilla that her boys are going to grow up fast. But I know that’s hard to believe – because I’ve been right where she’s at in motherhood. When the days stretch on and on……and you just can’t wait until they GET OUT OF WHATEVER STAGE THEY’RE IN! (I said that a lot.) […]

Aug 29, 2010This is me with my friend, Bridgette yesterday. This is me with Bridgette today. Today, she purposefully sat down in front of a mirror while someone stood behind her with a razor and shaved her head. She didn’t cry, whine, complain or drop her head in disgust.

Read MoreSpilled Milk
Aug 25, 2010I’m just sitting down to write to you after a very long day. In fact, I’ve just plopped in this chair after being on my knees in the kitchen with my sister for the last little while. We’ve been cleaning up spilled milk – and not just a little bit of milk either – a […]

Aug 24, 2010Miss Philippines might have made her first major mistake in life, with her answer to the question, “what is one big mistake you’ve made, and what did you do to make it right?” So far, she’s been fortunate enough to live a regret-free life, but somehow I think this might qualify as one moment she’ll […]
