Veni, Vidi, Vici

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 […]

Kids Say the Darnedest Things

Sep 02, 2010

There 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. Their responses were often eye opening, but always brought on knee-slapping laughter from the audience in the studio – and the audience on their […]

There is certainly a difference. My “spiritual lenses” focus much more personally when I’m looking into the Scripture to hear […]

Hard to Believe

Aug 30, 2010

I 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.) […]

Brave

Aug 29, 2010

This 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.

Spilled Milk

Aug 25, 2010

I’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 […]

Living a Life Without Regrets

Aug 24, 2010

Miss 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 […]
