For Valentine's Day this year I decided to just come right on out and tell hubby the pressure is off! Rather than him sweat it and try to figure out what wonderful thing he could do for me...I asked that we plan the evening together. I suggested we invite another couple over to our home for dinner. We'll set the table with china and have everything all sweet and romantic...our guests will arrive, he and the other hubby will go get take out … [Read more...]

The writing’s on the wall…uh, hand
So, I am speaking as a mom, not as a political analyst - because...I am a mom, not a political analyst. And this post is not about politics, it's about momness. Reporters have been giving Sarah Palin a hard time because of the notes she wrote on her hand at a recent event where she was speaking. Are you serious? Years ago I had a friend who was a nurse teach me that one. That's the smartest trick in the book (or should I say "handbook" - har, … [Read more...]

My Good Friend…Matt Chandler
One of my family's favorite places to go in the whole big wide world is Pine Cove Camp. My hubby has taken my daughter to Father/Daughter camp since she was in the first grade, and my son started going with him to Father/Son camp when he was in Kindergarten. As a family we have attended Family Camp for eight years and our summer wouldn't be complete with an infusion of Pine Cove! It is an amazing place, with amazing people. There are many … [Read more...]
Surrogates Movie…CreepyTrue
So, have you seen the movie Surrogates? (Warning: It is a little risque, if you are sensitive to such things!) Hubby and I rented it and I must say, it creeped me out! Mainly because it seemed to mimic what's already happening in America today! All the "perfect" people who wanted to look their very best - it was like looking at all the botox faces in Hollywood! But it seemed to go deeper than that...as I reflected on all the faces I pass … [Read more...]
Haiti Up Close & Personal
Hey friends - this morning at FamilyLife we heard from the Executive Director of our Hope for Orphans ministry...and I cried through most of his presentation!He recently got back from Haiti where he took a group of doctors to care for orphans and to sort through paper work in an effort to find "forever families" for orphans. We saw the faces and heard the voices of the children of Haiti...He shared with us that there were over 300,000 orphans in … [Read more...]

Church Cancelled!
Really?I do not think I have ever heard of church being "cancelled"...have you?Everything in Arkansas shuts down when winter weather moves in - I guess even church! The church we attend is up on a hill, so all roads in are up some pretty serious inclines...so the cancellation makes sense...but it still seems strange.What I am curious about is what are families doing in lieu of going to church? … [Read more...]
