Philadelphia Opera in Macy’s! Music Monday

As one who used to sing in a church choir, raising my voice singing praise to my Savior, holds deep meaning.  I am struck by the irony that in America today some would want to silence these voices because of the very words they are singing.  I suppose referring to it as a "cultural act" allows it to happen. Regardless ... He shall reign forever and ever!  Enjoy! … [Read more...]

Board Dinner (no pressure there!)

So, when asked to host the Board of Directors of FamilyLife for dinner at my home I readily accepted, thinking...that'll be fun!  Really? Fun? What was I thinking? OK, it did end up being fun, because they are an amazing group of men, but I am here to confess I jumped into my crazy cycle for a little while. It went something like this, oh no... my home is too small what will I prepare? how much will they eat? my home is too … [Read more...]

Random MOMents

My daughter and son going out to dinner before Youth Group – just so they could spend some time together! The blessing of good health – I can take walks daily in His Creation! Sweet memories made during an amazing camping trip with six Godly families. Panic…no chocolate – then remembering, chocolate morsels meant for baking…satisfaction found. Finding a photo taken of me and my amazing Grandmother and setting it right next to my … [Read more...]

Seth Godin Approved By This Mom

Like he needs it! All the same, as the mother of a Senior in High School and a believer in Seth Godin's marketing guru-ness, imagine my delight as I peeped upon his post today titled, Pushing Back on Mediocre Professors. You tell em Mr. Godin...uh Seth...dude! As a mother of a child that I was told tested "off the charts" I am all too familiar with teachers who go through the motions. She was once used to actually create standardized tests … [Read more...]

Modesty for Mom

Yesterday I was having a conversation with Shaunti Feldhahn (Yeah, how cool is that?  She was at FamilyLife and I did a video interview with her for MomLife Today.) and one of the areas of conversation left me feeling pretty hyped up and ready to spout off! So – put your helmets on ladies, here goes!  I’m gonna just say it straight out – we need to be mindful of how we dress and stop dressing like the unjustly celebrated Desperate … [Read more...]

Dr. Phil…Almost Right

I try to watch some of the offerings made available on television – I think it’s important to know what’s going on in the world even as I strive to remain not of the world. Not surprisingly, more and more, there are programs I simply cannot view.  Hollywood has sunk pretty low and there are few moral or meaningful programs offered.  I am also weary of unauthentic representations of Christians.  That’s one of the reasons I think blogging is so … [Read more...]

College Road Trip

Now that my daughter is enjoying her Senior year of High School I find myself counting the number of days I have until she leaves the nest. Every opportunity to spend time with her is happily embraced and sought after. So, this weekend when she and I headed out on a college road trip I was excited and looking forward to some serious memory making! And memory making is just what happened, well that and lots of loud music, laughter, deep … [Read more...]
