Sackcloth.

Saturday, December 8th, 2007

Awards Ceremonies for Everyone.

Saturday, December 1st, 2007

Today my daughter and son received their soccer trophies. They are young 6 years old and 4 years old respectively. They received these trophies for participating in the fall season. Now while you might question whether or not I am jealous (and I do think that I ...

Thankfulness and sins of habit.

Friday, November 23rd, 2007

This would increase accountablity, creativity, and maximization of gifts. What do you think? ...

Funeral Thinking

Listening for God.

Monday, November 12th, 2007

I am trying to quiet down to listen to God. I have been so wound up for the past couple of weeks that I have found it very difficult just to settle in and listen. One of the things that continues to plague me is this blog thing. ...
