My Christmas memories are fresh on my mind, MOMents of life shared with my hubby and children dance through my head swaying merrily to the sound of shared laughter. Accompanied by the faint sound of Elvis singing Blue Christmas in the background. Blue Christmas… “I’ll have a blue Christmas without you.” Thoughts of family and friends who have lost loved ones swirl through my mind alongside my own joyful memories. Throughout the Christmas … [Read more...]
Texting and Driving Do Not Mix
Usually Monday is Music Monday here...however today I am posting this documentary because there is an epidemic of teens (and adults) texting while driving... and it is leading to tragedy. I implore you to have a conversation with your teen (and yourself) and resolve a text free car commitment for 2011 - that's a resolution worth keeping. It takes a little time to watch this AT&T Texting While Driving Documentary...but it's worth it. … [Read more...]

Pinch Me
Ok, so I have been avoiding writing this post because it seems too braggy...name droppy (are those even words?) but here I go. First, let me tell you why I go here...because God did it, not me! Five years ago I was living in West Virginia, as that was hubby's latest assignment from corporate America, and I was distraught. You see, I didn't want to be there, I didn't want my husband to be married to his job and I didn't want my children to … [Read more...]
First American History…Now Aslan!
People of earth...you are being invaded...by those who want to change/recreate history to fit their agenda. Wake up. OK, so I've decided being raised as a middle class American in a small town no longer "fits in" with my agenda. I think I shall create a new history for myself that sounds better and fits with where I am heading. You know what - it doesn't work that way. We cannot change history to make us sound better (in our own minds), or … [Read more...]

Thanksgiving According to George Washington
So my Senior in High School asked me..."Mom, how can people say America was not founded on a belief in God when this is what I just read?" She was doing some research on the first Thanksgiving congressional resolution and the subsequent federal Thanksgiving proclamation issued by President George Washington, which said: Whereas it is the duty of all nations to acknowledge the providence of Almighty God to obey His will, to be grateful for His … [Read more...]
The Unseen Teen
Her alarm goes off, she hits snooze and snuggles in a little deeper, the bed is safe and warm and away from eyes and opinions never uttered, but understood through the silence. Come back illusive dream…for that is the only time she experiences that spark of joy and acceptance from another’s eyes. Buzz. Buzz. Buzz. Heavy sigh… she realizes she has to get up – no matter her desire to remain hermit like safe. She moves silently … [Read more...]
