This is the second of a few little notes I am writing to Audrey as her wedding day approaches, see previous here.
Dear Audrey,
I was reading in Malachi from The Message a few weeks ago and became intrigued by the emotion of the language on the topic of marriage. It is bold, somewhat startling. and [...]

One of my favorite bloggers has written a fabulous piece about etiquette at our blogs. I wholeheartedly agree with her, so go there and read it. You'll find out what LURKING is and how to DELURK. (For the love of God and all that is holy: DELURK!) You'll also learn about the 1st commandment of blogs - "If [...]
My wonderful friends, Pearl and Bryan (http://bryanyounger.wordpress.com/) are busily preparing for the marriage of their firstborn daughter, Audrey, to Ben - the man for whom she will "leave father and mother," and become a wife. I asked Audrey if I could "go public" with her joyous news and give her some for-all-the-world-to-see advice. She consented.

We made [...]
Ok, ok - I am posting this comment I received about my last post from my friend, Bryan Younger. His comments are always funny, but we have an ongoing dialogue about tomatoes because he hates them - and because of this I wonder, "Does God really want me to be his friend???"
Bryan's words:
Jeanie, consider this [...]
This was a good year for tomatoes.
As the nights are cooling and the days are getting shorter, the overgrown three tomato plants in my backyard are heavily-laden, madly producing fruit as a last, desperate attempt to pro-create and leave plenty of seed behind. If I am attentive and cover the plants diligently as cold weather and [...]
