Before school officially ends, I figured I should put up the picture Andrea took of me when I was subbing for Field Day. No, I don’t usually wear flip flops, T-shirts, and jeans, but I knew the day was going to be pretty physical. Don’t I look so “teacherly” behind the desk? 🙂 When I […]

Random Rants … Join In!
Hallelujah, I’m done with my first full edit! It only took a month from the day I received it to return it. Obviously, I’ll be speeding up my turnaround time. 🙂 Did she get her money’s worth from me? I do believe so, considering my comments added 10,000 words to her total word count! Anyway, […]
Bargains, Baby, Bargains!
If you live near us and are hearing shrieks that raise the hair on the back of your neck, relax. That’s just the kids running through the sprinkler’s freezing cold water. I was driving past my favorite consignment shop this morning when the Prius’ intelligence system instituted a right turn into the parking lot. I […]
Coolest High School Elective Ever!
Tuesday I was a substitute at the local high school. Yay me! 🙂 I’ve done a bit of classified subbing while waiting for my restricted certification to be approved, which, obviously, has occurred. I thought I should use the same theory toward junior high and high schoolers that is used for dogs: never let them […]
Harvest of Little Plants
Last Sunday, we held the final AWANA meeting of the year and doled out awards. Once again, I was amazed at the children in my group. As a leader, I have the privilege of watching them tuck verse after verse away in their hearts. Every single meeting–even with going through all my life changes–I walked […]
I (heart) Les Schwab
I’ve had a slow leak in my left rear tire for about a month. How do I know? Because my super-smart car tells me when the pressure gets too low. (Okay, I just found out that most new cars now have this feature, but I still think my car is smarter than most.) I’ve been […]
What Does a Publishing House Look Like?
Outside Harvest House Publishers in Eugene, Friday afternoon A momentous occasion as a few members of the Redeemed Writers gather to tour one of the top five Christian publishers … Kristen Johnson, Sherrie Ashcraft, Miriam Cheney, et moi (The tail of the Prius is the perfect height for timer photography!) We always called the mixing-up […]
Sitemeter Stats
Every now and then, I hop on sitemeter and see where my blogger readers come from. Since I’m busy pouring over my page proofs and won’t have time to do a “real” post, I though it might be interesting for you to know the company you keep here. 🙂 Out of only the last 100 […]
Front and Center with Third Day!
Here I am with Sandy, a new friend. Her kids got her tickets to a concert for Mother’s day. As she’s gotten to know me, she’s found a quiet, reserved girl who doesn’t know how to enjoy life. Which makes the perfect concert-going companion. 😉 When I arrived at her house, like the typical date, […]
Some Inappropriate Language
Saw this over on Sandra Glahn’s blog: What’s your favorite part? And, just to rescue this post, let’s examine, through deep theological study, how we make it harder than it needs to be to access God’s Word.
