Oh yes she did. Sigh. The problem when you're a pastor's kid is that sometimes you hear too much. Like the Sunday night a few weeks ago when her Pastor Daddy was talking about Father Christmas and St. Nicholas. The story has it that St. Nicholas cared for the needy and gave gifts to children. He later died but the tradition was picked up in many countries and instead of being ... Read More »

Adoption – “a little bit sad and a lot a bit glad”
I love my husband for writing this post because he'd rather have his nose hairs plucked than sit down and write anything longer than a text message. But in this post he shares openly what we are experiencing in our household right now in terms of adoption issues. I started the post but knew my heart was too raw and vulnerable to write without his input. I am thankful he took ... Read More »
My “word” could be dangerous if I’m not careful
Ya know, I really thought my "word for the year" was going to have to be "Daggum" for a while because I could not come up with just one word. I'm noticing I'm not the only one who is having a hard time narrowing it down to just one word and I find a little comfort in that.

OMGoodness we just got another funny card!
At first glance it may not seem like a big deal. But when you know the family.....Husband is Police Chief and Wife self-describes herself as my "starched, fancy pants friend." Ha! And that is really their house but um no, that car is not theirs. They are not in the race car culture and so to have sent a Christmas card that says, "Racing through the Holidays...." is just too ... Read More »
The best Christmas card ever came in our mailbox this week
It says: "Joy to the World. Peace in Every heart. All is calm. All is bright. Finally a peaceful night." As you'll notice the kid is tied up in Christmas lights and has tape over his mouth. Oh.My.Word! We cracked up so hard at this. I don't know this boy but I know his Mama. She and I went to school together in the 11th grade. We were on the year book staff together which was ...
