Today's "Friday Five" from the Revgals is to share five things or people that I am thankful for this past year.  1.  GOD.  Not to be a stereotypical "Rev Gal" but I must rank God as number one.  Without God's grace, faithfulness, love, forgiveness, patience and presence this past year, I would be nothing.  I … Continue reading Friday Five: Thankfulness

As I'm typing this, the cold wind is beating the wall behind me as it wraps itself around my house.  It is a cold, windy and rainy day with threats of our first snow tonight.  Just a dusting but still the first in-your-face truth that winter is a'comin.  I am not a winter fan.  If … Continue reading Winter is A'Comin

I was incredibly excited today to have located my lost recipe book.  I had misplaced it in the move back in April and could not find it.  There have been quite a few times when I wanted to make a certain recipe that was tried and true but I couldn't find the notebook. I found … Continue reading Lost and Found

This Sunday, the CBS newsmagazine "60 Minutes" will air a story about the genocide in Darfur.  The Sudanese government restricts reporters from entering the region, but CBS correspondent Scott Pelley and his 60 Minutes crew went anyway, putting their lives in jeopardy.  It is sure to be a … Continue reading Darfur on 60 Minutes this Sunday

Here's the Friday Five for the Week.  As election proganda is in overdrive, let us think about our own civic duty attempts. 1) How old were you when you voted for the first time?  I have no idea.  Probably 18.  I did register not long after I turned 18 but since I can't remember what … Continue reading Friday Five: Civic Duties

Seriously funny stuff here. Well worth your click.  Plus check out the other videos on their site. Hat tip to Kristen McCarty.

Have you ever had one of the moments where something happened that you kind of wanted to happen and then when it did you suddenly became nauseated and freaked out?  You know ... for a long time you thought "Wouldn't that be swell . . " and then it happened and you think "what have … Continue reading Featured Blog Shock

I did it.  Yesterday, I submitted an article to Relevant Magazine Online for possible publication on their website.  It is just under 1,000 words.  I do not receive payment for it.  It will not be in print.  But I submitted it as my first step towards accomplishing one of my goals.  The goal to be … Continue reading Goal 42

Right now I'm sitting in a corner of Paneras in little ol' Branson, Missouri.  I've downed my first class of Diet Pepsi (sorry - I'm not cool enough to drink coffee of any variety or taste) and a fresh-from-the-oven cinnamon roll that was hmm-hmm-good. I'm on vacation.  I love vacation.  Every year my parents give … Continue reading Vacation
