Besides going for a run every morning, I really didn’t do much of anything this week. I’ve never been so unproductive in my entire life. (Well, except maybe for that one afternoon sophomore year of college, right, Britt? “The Day Mel Did Nothing.” Yes, it was that infamous.) My husband is the sole reason I accomplished […]

On The Failure
oh….Dear……..Father. My emotions are so raw right now. My thoughts are harried. My heart beats in a confused rhythm. The wounds still fresh. Sometimes I just don’t know what to do with myself. My failures stack one on top of another, again and again, as if attempting to mimic the tower of Babel. Dumb idea, […]
The One with a Sermon-a-Day
I have a few idiosyncrasies. You know–those little quirks which reassure everyone that I really am a dork. One example of this is my iPod selection while running.

The One with Unnecessary Busyness
I’m not so good at slowing down. In fact, I stink at it. Kevin is always trying to convince me to sit down, chill out, and do nothing. But the thought of doing nothing is like torture to me. I don’t necessarily think that’s a good thing. Sure, it can be. But it also has the […]

From December 19 Jesus Calling Do not be weighed down by the clutter in your life: lots of little chores to do sometime, in no particular order. If you focus too much on these petty tasks, trying to get them all out of the way, you will discover that they are endless. They can eat up […]
The One with our Quick Christmas Eve
[remember to start using the new blog url: kevinandmel.com] Our Christmas is a little different this year. Yes, there was still the insta-tree (when Kevin pulled our decorated tree out of a huge spare bedroom closet), the endless baking, the icy cold morning runs, and the same ol’ Christmas tunes ringing through our home. But this […]
