I was reminded today. If the Church does what the Church was created to do. The neighborhood church. Open the door. Let a kid walk in. Read. Eat dinner or a snack. Listen. Teach a bit even if. Doesn’t matter if the decor looks like grandma’s. Doesn’t matter if the pastor is not a “jeans … More neighborhood church
Well, sort of. I suppose technically it was free. If you read my previous entry, you know I recently cleaned out my closet. Somewhere in the midst of my new year’s declutter frenzy, I came across some books neither my children nor I wanted or had use for any longer. The bulk of them were AP … More so I bought this book
It hit me sometime last week I just might have misspelled the word “heel” in my last post. I kept forgetting to check though. Sure enough, tonight I looked and I did. Sorry readers. I’m sure at least a few of you noticed. It’s been corrected. Now my life can carry on. As can yours. It seems some … More please note I used the wrong heel
I enjoy reading but am having a hard time getting through books this year. I began reading The Goldfinch by Donna Tartt earlier this winter. Because it’s 784 pages long, weighs approximately five pounds, and is a 14 day loan from my library, I only made it halfway through before having to turn it back … More no focus
Happy Friday. Happy Spring {finally!}. Happy March Madness. And happy National Ravioli Day if you missed it yesterday. While purusing the library on Monday, I came across a new Max Lucado book. Mind you, I have not read a Max Lucado book in years. I like him, have enjoyed what I’ve read in the past, … More Flapjack Friday Faves [03.21]
TGIF. I’m unabashedly glad it’s Friday. How about you? Here are my FFFs for the week. I am not a shameless self promoter. Or maybe I am…. This week I finally [as in it took me 3 years] posted some items on my Etsy store. I wouldn’t mind if you meander over and make a … More Flapjack Friday Faves [10.18]
I recently completed a book, The Cuckoo’s Calling. Reading it took me longer than I’d originally expected and the book ended up being overdue at the library. When I finished it, I promptly returned it, with the plan of searching for something new to read there in the library. Lately, most of my reading has … More non-fiction
TGIF and all that jazz. I am incredibly happy that this week is coming to a close. It’s been a long one. And my first born returns home tonight. He’s catching a ride with a kid named Chris C. who plays the drums which I find interesting because my freshman year of college I caught … More Flapjack Friday Faves [08.30]
June 9, which was yesterday, is my wedding anniversary. Tomorrow, June 11, is my daughter’s fifteenth birthday. Today is June 10, which I’ve labeled [the day between]. Truthfully, it’s not just any day, it’s the anniversary of the day in 1990 when I graduated college. In a small way, it seems significant to me that … More the day between
Happy Flapjack Friday, or today in our home, it was Happy French Toast Friday, although no one seemed too happy [go figure]. Summer is right around the corner, though [hallelujah]. She & Him Volume 3 is out. I’d like to tell you this is what the cool moms are listening to, but I guess that … More Flapjack Friday Faves [05.17]
