  Judgment

• I came across this article today in the Washington Post: Tebow’s Super Bowl ad isn’t intolerant; its critics are by Sally Jenkins. Ms. Jenkins declares right away that she is pro-choice when it comes to abortion, but she and I would agree on most every other point in her article.

  Jenkins writes about Tim Tebow and [...]

  God Bless Tim Tebow…
  and His MOM!

• I don’t really do anger. Not because anger is a sin, not even because it’s hurtful to those around me. I’ve just never been one to get angry about things. Sure, things bother me, I get peeved or irritated with things, people. But true, heated anger usually goes right over my head–which makes me particularly [...]

• Well, it happened. Yesterday at school AJ heard a teacher say that students are not allowed to say Jesus at school.

  AJ can’t say Jesus at school?

• I wasn’t planning a post again for a little while, but this is too good.

• Reading back through a few old posts today I came across one that seems fitting for a new year. It inspired me, I hope it does the same for you.

  One of my favorite singers is Allison Krauss. If you’re not a bluegrass fan, you can still appreciate the clarity of her tone. She’s an amazing [...]

• Just signing on to the blog today to say yellow. I mean hello, but shoot, I typed ‘yellow’ so what the heck, let’s run with it. Yellow, world. How’s your Christmas shaping up? Mine is beautiful, and very sad too, but ultimately glorious.

  We don’t do a big hurrah for Christmas, just family and fun. I [...]

  Checking in…

• I have a confession. A serious confession. I am addicted to porn. Wait, don’t freak out just yet. I mean female porn. Wait, that sounds worse. Actually, it just might be. I’m addicted to romance movies, books, and ideals. If I could live in Jane Austen’s world (and take my toothpaste with me), I would.

  I’m addicted to porn.

• Well. Look what was in my inbox this morning! I don’t know about you, but I’m taking this as confirmation that yesterday’s post was on the right track.

  However, as it is written:   “No eye has seen,      no ear has heard,      no mind has conceived      what [...]

• A couple of little stories from this week, ways my kids have taught me about my relationship with the Father of all parents.

  The pancakes were fresh off the griddle and the scent of warm batter was in the air. The girls were scaling the safety gate when I reached [...]
