Rachel Anne | Jan 13, 2010On Wednesday afternoon, Priscilla stopped over with her boys to hang out and give them a change of scenery for doing homework.

Read MoreTurkey Tweets…and Other Necessary Things
Priscilla | Jan 12, 2010Yesterday, I tweeted about an “incident” here in the Shirer Household.

Jerry | Jan 06, 2010Hey, It’s me. Jerry Shirer; the other half of the Shirer team. Last week a friend told me that he’d been on Priscilla’s blog, reading through one of the motherhood discussions. He’d typed up a couple paragraphs to join in and then deleted it when it occurred to him that he’d be the only guy […]
Read MoreFasting for Change
Priscilla | Jan 05, 2010Put on sackcloth, O priests, and mourn; wail, you who minister before the altar. Come, spend the night in sackcloth, you who minister before my God; for the grain offerings and drink offerings are withheld from the house of your God. Declare a holy fast; call a sacred assembly.
