Jazz hands. Leaping awkward dance moves. High fives with myself (which ends up looking kind of like a jumping jack). That’s the kind of day I’m having. And I get to share it with you, which is one of the true joys about having a blog. I’ve hit milestones on TWO major projects. One was […]
Read MoreI’m driving a lot this week, which means I’ve had the chance to listen to some different podcasts. One sermon in particular caught my attention yesterday. The speaker claimed that the overarching theme of the Bible is that we need to treat other people better. He claimed that this is THE choice Jesus offers us, and […]
Read MoreOn Saturday, Super-G & I had front row seats as our friend re-married her husband. They’d been divorced for enough years that this qualified as a miracle. It was a break-out-the-tissues moment, and I spent the entire ceremony trying to pick my jaw up out of my lap. Because even though I knew they were […]

In every area of life, we can’t fathom God, and yet we have these hints of what He wants to […]
Read MoreHere are the notes from our Faith Community talk this week. I hope they encourage you :) Our Quest for Wisdom This week was my birthday. I turned 45. This is the first birthday that has felt “big” to me: like I should pause and pay attention, think about what this means. I think this […]
Read More“There were shepherds living out in the fields nearby keeping watch over their flocks at night. An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified. But the angel said to them, ‘Do not be afraid. I bring you news of great joy that […]
Read MoreTHE BOSTON RED SOX WON THE WORLD SERIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! As you might guess, I’m a little excited about this. There have been many late nights, and angsty messages flying back and forth across the internet on FB & Twitter, a whole “nation” of fans trying to work up the courage to believe our team could win […]
Read MoreI received a letter the other day. It wasn’t to me individually, although it felt like it was. It was written in a way that was so personal to the senders that I suspect each of us who read it was quite certain it was intended just for us. It was an open letter from […]
