And the survey says…? (In keeping with the theme of my last two posts…) Portland has the nicest drivers while the rudest hang out in Miami, Florida. Locals have been back and forth on the news, expressing opinions on both sides of the issue. I’m sure bad driving exists everywhere and we can all attest […]
I’m a Survivor
For those of you who are planning to watch the finale of Survivor and haven’t yet found the time…come back and read this post later. [Spoiler Warning] I was incredibly shocked and saddened when Dreamz did not honor his deal with Yau-man! Short recap: Yau-man gave Dreamz a $60,000 truck in return for a “gentleman’s” […]
Winning Family Feud
As I posted in my last blog, my family won on Family Feud. Jill Elizabeth Nelson asked if that put us on Easy Street. I’m sure she was completely serious and I will answer as such. 🙂 It was a complete God thing. I remember praying in the car in the parking lot just before […]
Eight Random Things
My friends, Susan Meissner and Winter, tagged me yesterday. I’ve never done this before, but it seems pretty painless. 🙂 First, these are the rules: 1. Each player starts with eight random facts/habits about themselves. 2. People who are tagged need to write their own blog about their eight things and post these rules. 3. […]
The Envelope, Please
More than two weeks ago, Joshua had his blood drawn for allergy testing. And the winner is… drum roll…. Everything we eat. Wheat including gliadin and gluten. All dairy products, even casein and goat’s milk. Both the white and yolk of eggs. If you peeked into my kitchen, one glance would be all you’d need […]
A Special Invitation
Update: One of the conditions of my publishing contract is that no portion of the book be published, so I had to ask Novel Journey to delete the critique in Nov. ’08. A few weeks ago, a new “fan” suggested that I post a scene from my novel to let you all in on my […]
One of the Smartest Men on Earth
Maybe you noticed, maybe you didn’t, but I added a new blog to my link section. Stop by Randy Ingermanson‘s newest venture if you’d like to be in the presence of greatness. He is insanely intelligent, but–here’s the weird thing–he can also carry on a wonderful conversation in person. Few mad geniuses can do so […]
Bob Barker Would Be Proud
We got a kitten last year. The mother cat’s family said they called the little girl “Squeaks” because she always squeaked for her mommy to come back to the basket. We took the kitten to the vet for a check up and found out surprising news. She was a he. To remind ourselves of the […]
The Smell of Myrrh
Our Saturday night service fed all our senses. We partook of communion (taste, touch), worshipped with song (hearing), watched the Jeremy Camp song “This Man” with the clips of The Passion of the Christ (seeing, hearing). But smell? I admit, after hearing the service be billed as multi-sensory, I’d wondered what we’d be smelling. We […]
Open Letter to Pre-Published Christian Writers
I’m fairly new to the blogging world–I heard about it for a year or so before I checked it out–so forgive me if this is an unnecessary reminder of conduct. I’ve been astounded at the resources available to a writer on the Internet. Click on Forensics and Faith and you go right into Brandilyn Collin’s […]
