Quantcast

Sunday Scripture

Oh give thanks to the Lord; call upon his name;     make known his deeds among the peoples! Sing to him; sing praises to him;     tell of all his wondrous works! Glory in his holy name;     let the hearts of those who seek the Lord rejoice! Seek the Lord and [...]

Please Pass The Tums

Greetings from Virginia! I hope yall had a fabulous Thanksgiving.  Unfortunately, mine was less than stellar. It all started with the road trip on Wednesday.  My four-year-old had been sick and was out of sorts.  My two-year-old was, well, let’s just say that spending the better part of eight hours strapped into a carseat was [...]

It’s a Bloggy Christmas!

I refuse to decorate for Christmas, listen to Christmas music, or in any other way begin celebrating Christmas until after the Thanksgiving dinner dishes are washed and put away and the turkey is picked off the bone and stored for left-over sandwiches. At that time, all bets are off.  In fact, on the years that [...]

And This Fills My Rant Quotient For The Year

WHY do people insist on backing into parking spaces?  I honestly want to know.  It always catches me off guard when I’m following a car through a parking lot, and they stop, then BACK UP WITHOUT WARNING and maneuver into a spot.  What is the point? It’s MUCH easier to back OUT of a parking [...]

Over The River and Through The Woods

Or the new, modern version:  Over the river and down I-81… Before we were married, my husband and I decided we would alternate holidays between his parents and mine.  This has worked well for twelve years.  And this year it’s my parents’ turn to have us for Thanksgiving. I love going home to Virginia for [...]

And The Next Generation of Americans Just Got Dumber

The latest invention to speed up the process of the dumbing down of America is, without a doubt, the new Monopoly: Electric Banking Edition.  One of my son’s favorite games is Monopoly, so when I saw the electronic version, I got excited and immediately ordered one from Amazon.  We gave him the game for his [...]

Fashion Question of the Week

Alyson says:  I ran into this dilemma this morning when getting dressed, and I thought you and the Internets might help.  It finally got cold in Georgia, and as I was putting on ballet flats I wasn’t sure what to wear with them.  Does this fall into the same category as your church shoes?  Are [...]

Roots and Wings

When he was a baby and he got his shots, he never knew what was coming.  As soon as the nurse was finished with the dirty deed, he would squawk for only a second before I was there to hold him, nurse him, comfort him.  And that’s all he needed.  Once again, all was right [...]

Home Sick

Well, we’re actually home recuperating. I knew we were in for it when my four-year-old fell asleep on the floor Friday afternoon.  The child gave up naps when she was two-and-a-half.  The only times she sleeps in the middle of the day are when she’s sick.  And sure enough, when she woke a few hours [...]

Sunday Scripture

Psalm 113: 1-3 Praise the LORD.       Praise, O servants of the LORD,        praise the name of the LORD. Let the name of the LORD be praised,        both now and forevermore. From the rising of the sun to the place where it sets,        the name [...]
