Much in the life of my family has been cyclical. Or rather, we end up coming full circle. It happened again this week, when my husband accepted a position at an organization in which he previously worked. And with that acceptance, I believe we’ve ended a chapter. I realized recently this season of life began … More on.to.the.next.chapter
This afternoon we left our boy in Cincinnati, a much.much.much larger city than our town of Lexington. He’s spending a week at the Cincinnati Conservatory of Music. As of today, there’s a possibility he might want to attend college there, on the University of Cincinnati campus. Again, Cincinnati is a much.much.much bigger city than ours. … More {big.city.big.world}
Names interest me. I can’t remember the title, but yesterday I saw a book at the library that had something to do with an intense methodology to use when choosing a baby name. We chose to name our son after my husband and our daughter after my sister [no science except biology involved, thanks]. Lately … More who’s Eleanor?
I’m a journaler. I like to write. Obviously, I have a blog. I write prayers. I write how I’m feeling. Generally, I journal more when I’m feeling blasé and/or sad than I do when I’m gleeful. One night a few weeks ago, when my husband was away, I skimmed through my current journal. The first entry … More evaluation
Last evening at church, the sermon was based on the book of Ecclesiastes. The pastor talked about King Solomon and mentioned this particular king had 700 wives and 300 concubines. He didn’t spend a lot of time expounding on this, as that wasn’t the crux of the sermon. Yet, throughout my time sitting there listening, … More 700 wives
My daughter Allie and I went to the Ichthus music festival last Saturday. We’ve been before. We’ve made some great family memories there. But this year was different. Allie’s brother James [aka my son] is at Governor’s School for the Arts, so he wasn’t available. Allie’s dad [aka my husband/lover/best friend] worked an Ichthus booth … More stop looking at our girl!!!
My husband and I have entered a new stage of parenting. I don’t know if this season has an appropriated name. Maybe: college preporpost adolescentorgood gosh! my son’s old enough to join the armed forces Whatever the name, it’s definitely a different time in the life of a family. I find myself laughing inside when … More a new day
I’m not a big believer in luck. But I don’t want to get philosophical, or deep into the sociology of the family. I simply want to get this point across: On Father’s Day I’m reminded I’ve been very blessed in the “man” aspect of my life. Not our Rambler, but this is what it looked … More Lucky Lady
Happy 22 years of wedded {mostly} bliss to my sweet husband! June is a celebratory month. It was when I was a child. My sister’s birthday is June 19. Always right around Father’s Day. Sandy, our childhood dog’s birthday was in June (yes, we celebrated it). And let’s not forget Flag Day. Our daughter was … More most important
Here are three things I don’t recall ever hearing a pastor say in church: 1. I have a heart for ABC neighborhood, where a lot of needy and poverty stricken individuals and families live. It’s a part of town that needs renewal. Therefore, my family is relocating to this neighborhood to live amongst the people … More 3 things
