In reference to my post about memorizing quotes from John, and in response to a couple friends’ inquiries, I thought it would be appropriate to share with you some memorizing techniques. You know, in case YOU decide to take the Psalm 119:11 challenge seriously. I’m hoping many adults in our congregation will join us. Because […]
The One with the Wicked Twisters
So Debbie may be a wimp, but I’m not far behind. I’ve always been terrified of tornados.Even the tornado drills we ran in school totally freaked me out.I used to get nauseous as soon as I noticed the dark clouds and winds rolling in.And when the undersides or whites of the leaves are showing?Forget it.I […]
The One with Pulled Pork Sandwiches
Have I mentioned how much I love camp?! I’m totally digging my office job (besides the whole “sit for eight hours and feel like I’ve gained 20lbs thing”) and we’re loving our trailer abode and seeing old friends again rocks. Case in point: Sara mentioned having Debbie, her husband Brian, and myself over for dinner […]
The One with Mr. Whistler
I have a stye in my eye. Not cool. I get these blasted infections a couple times a year. And I don’t know why. I don’t share makeup or anything disgusting like that. (Sorry to offend you if you do share makeup. But seriously, it’s just not cool.) However. I think I may have just had a […]
The One where They Memorize John
We are really looking forward to starting our second season of Bible quizzing with our teens. I had never really heard of Bible quizzing before helping out my “professional” quizzing husband at quizzes during college. This program may sound a bit lame on the surface– particularly to the students’ peers. I mean, seriously? You’re joining […]
The One Where JM Works for Me
You know Jillian Michaels? Yeah? Well, I’m pretty sure she’s my bff. Ok, not really. But I do feel like I know her. Which may be kinda creepy, but you’re just going to have to deal with it. Between being a HUGE Biggest Loser fan (no pun intended), exercising with her almost every day this winter, […]
The One with the Traumatized Kitty
The cat has been relocated. He is officially a resident of our lovely little camper abode. But notice, I used no endearing terms when referring to THE cat. Nope. In this post, I am not feeling the slightest ounce of affection for this animal we so recently (officially) obtained. I was praying the hour long […]
The One with the Memorial Emotions
I was just over at Ree’s photography blog, where she was posting photos sent in under the theme “Coming Home.”There is post after post after post. I dare you to not be moved by those images. Dare you. Given the holiday weekend and the incredibly emotional response the photos garnered from yours truly, I thought […]
The One with the Tennis Volleys
Tennis. Oh, tennis. The sport that always looked so appealing. That I would love to play. But the same sport at which I could never seem to be even remotely adept. I’m not exaggerating, here, people, I stttttunk. The only redeeming aspect about the whole tennis aspirations thing is that my husband was just about […]
The One where She Works Solo
I did it!I did it all by myself!I worked solo in the Welcome Center office from 2-8pm.I was a teensy tiny bit apprehensiveonly because I’m certain there are at least a handful of tasks I’m not skilled in at the moment.But with the votes of confidence by my boss and my coworkers and my husband, […]
