People wonder, "Is that really his name?" And yes, it is really his name - although not his actual, legal name.
We were rolling along having babies left and right. We'd had Tara, who was 5, Stephanie, who was 28 months and Tredessa, who was 15 and 1/2 months when baby number four was to arrive. [...]
I started this blog on November 29th of 2006 and I am hitting the "100 blogs" mark with this very post! My first entry listed my top ten reasons for blogging (see here) and as I re-read them today, I think, yes, they are still basically my reasons.
The number one reason I wrote almost a year [...]
It's fall again. And again the leaves blowing around at the top of my blog seem appropriate, although at 47 and gaining speed on the old timeline, I think autumn represents well, the time of life in which I currently find myself.
I got to spend the weekend at the Powers family cabin near Peaceful Valley in the [...]
Carol Ann Kelly is just this really vivacious, joyous heart who lives well and loves deeply. She is committed to God and her husband and her girls and her ministry. Her blog is one of my long-time favorites (and when I say say "long-time" we are talking like less than a year because I was [...]
Michelle Pfeiffer has the most amazing run-on-sentence-line in the movie starring her and Bruce Willis about a marriage that started out well, got really bad, got worse, involved splitting up and how they find their way back to each other (I'm sorry if I just ruined this movie ending for some one), in Story of Us, [...]

Sites like the aforementioned are working to correct this situation. For years, badly printed flyers hung on doorknobs were all that was seemingly available to let the neighborhood know they were welcomed inside your little church building. Large churches ran ads in [...]
One year…52 weeks…365 days of wedded bliss and happiness…
Happy anniversary, you two. You're still the glowing, beautiful bride and groom. I cannot believe it has been a year since 40,000 twinkling lights and dancing on the stage and a night that almost stormed, but broke into bright sunlight as the bride came down the aisle, [...]
Happy Anniversary to 2 of the world's great lovers and friends. I love your love. Everybody loves your love.
Your wedding remains in my mind one of the great romantic events of all times. I will always remember the joyful dancing and the delight we all felt when Dave became our son and our daughter had [...]
