It was supposed to be a fabulous day of picking out my long awaited and saved up for handbag. And I mean a nice handbag. I'm the kind of handbag girl that changes out her purse twice a year. Spring/Summer bag and a Fall/Winter bag and that's it. And usually it's a cute but cheap bag by 9 West or something like that however I've had the bug lately to get a nice purse. That's why ...

Funny Story
Potty Mouth Pinocchio
My Mother- in- Law is so sweet and she stayed at our house and kept Mitchell and Sophie while we house hunted for two days. She took Mitchell to school, Sophie to ballet, helped with homework, etc. What a relief to know our kids were well taken care of while we were gone. We were so excited to come home and see everyone. After “Grandma” left and we were catching up with ... Read More »
Missing “A First”
I was cooking dinner in between a great game of backyard baseball with the kids and shortly after I came in to stir the noodles Sophie came running in the door crying, saying, “Mom, I went to the bathroom in my dress.” I thought this was odd because she’s never had an accident since being potty trained over a year ago. She was so upset with herself and kept saying, “I just ... Read More »
Embarrassing Moments
Oh, just a few embarrassing moments to report this week……like when I found out Mitchell prayed out loud in Sunday School that his dog wouldn’t eat her poop. And what about Sophie going around the church Sunday night begging people to be her nursery worker so she wouldn’t have to stay in the service. Or how about yesterday when we’re at the Toy Store and I’m on one side of the ... Read More »
Tobacco & Collard Greens – Welcome to the new Pastorate!
Tobacco & Collard Greens After being at our new church for a few months I was invited by several of the older women in the church to go out to dinner with them. They were so cute when they drove up to my driveway. Their heads barely reached over the headrests and all, but the driver, were in the backseat. They left the front passenger seat open for me which I thought was ... Read More »
“Man of the Cloth”
After sharing my testimony at a church one night a lady came up to me afterwards and asked, “So what’s it like?” A little confused I said, “What’s what like?” She leaned in and almost in a whisper said, “You know, what’s it like being married to a ‘MAN OF THE CLOTH’?” The first thought that came to my mind when I thought of “my man” and “cloth” was his underwear on the floor ...

Wouldn’t Charge Him a Dime!
I’ll admit that I’ve always been a bit naive. When I was about 13 years old my Mother took me to a very nice hotel for dinner. We were waiting to meet my father so we sat in the large beautiful lobby of downtown Atlanta. A few minutes into our wait an older man came walking in with a much younger woman next to him. She was wearing a leather skirt, fish net hose and lots of ... Read More »
First Impressions are off with a bang
I had a missed call on my cell phone so I returned the call and the man (one of our church leaders) said with a laugh, “I really liked that voice mail on your phone.” I said, “What voicemail?” He was quiet and then I said, “For real, I didn’t know I had voicemail in place yet.” Then I suddenly had this thought of pure horror as I recalled trying to record a new voicemail ...
