As you go through your day I hope your thoughts and prayers will be with the hurting people of Haiti and those who are laboring to assist them.This is the plea of one missionary mom who is living through the aftermath of the earthquake:The sun is about to come up. The aftershocks continue. Some more noticeable than others. There is no way to even begin to share the things we’ve heard and seen since 5:00 p.m. yesterday. To do so would take hours … [Read more...]
Mom Rant!
Okay ... if you do not enjoy hearing an otherwise level-headed mom share a little rant you may want to just sit this post out! Realize I'm just venting here, so please allow me to type for a while. Why am I the only person in this house who will put things back where they belong? Over Christmas I went to get my scissors ... not there. I went to get my paring knife ... gone.

The last three weeks have been a blur for me! We traveled "home" to see family over Thanksgiving and spent the entire week visiting, eating and reconnecting. Whenever I travel back home I purposefully "unplug" from all social media and I must admit it was rather pleasant to not be constantly checking up with things on my blogs or twitter. Upon our return from all the family fun hubby and I promptly left to go to an event as representatives … [Read more...]

Take your dog to church...uh...really?How about take your neighbor to church? Or take the widow down the street, who doesn't get out much, to church? Or take a homeless person to church...and then to lunch.Your dog! Really? {sigh}Now before you go getting all "crazy mad" on me - I like dogs!

Spank That Kid!
To spank or not to spank...that is a "hot topic" question these days! This morning even the crew over at NBC's Today Show weighed in on the subject of spanking children! Visit msnbc.com for Breaking News, World News, and News about the Economy I found those mothers comments interesting. My comments back to them; never spank in anger, yelling can be more hurtful than a spanking and don't compare a teaching moment with a child to a … [Read more...]
