God knows both the happiness and grief a teenager can bring to a mother’s heart. When I became a parent, and through the last twenty years, I have been concerned about my children and what it will be like when they reach those delicate teenage years. Will they be “boy crazy”? Will they strive to [...]

3 Cups of Vile Coffee and a Big Slice of Humble Pie.
Coffee and dessert anyone? I’m having mine….
“Overcoming My Attitude” is the discussion round the kitchen table today, where I have finished reading the book of Job.

Job Hunting.
I’ve made it to Job, chapter 18. God is talking to me right now –talking about distress and despair…learning to deal with the “bad” while still clinging to hope.

Battling for Brett.
Tears on my face, anger building up in my soul, I sit here tonight….just 3 hours after Brett’s 17th seizure.

Why Lord? Why does my son have to suffer through this? He’s [...]

Half Full.
I found aNOTHER gray hair this morning! It is a new one. I know it because it was located further back than the other four I have found.
I’m in a “pickle” because I have always blamed each of the other four gray hairs on my children — one for each of them!
Now…I guess I can name [...]

Not Spam.
Since my last post was about WordPress and the wonderful stats page showing search engine terms, etc., I thought it would also be fun to show you a little about the “Spam Catcher” aka Askismet.
WordPress has the capability to capture spammed comments sent to your blog. It stores them and allows you to review and [...]
