Strange title, I know, for someone who has been married for more than eight years. But even today I find there are still remnants of the days before marriage and kids. As the kids grow and we make transitions, I find that we need to remove one more piece that connected me to my single … Continue reading Letting go of singleness

Shadows
Everything is about perspective. On a recent trip to Boston, I was sitting in the window seat of the 737, admiring the clouds as we shot up through what appeared to be cotton candy and into the sunlight. The light coming in was so bright, I had to squint my eyes. I looked inside the cabin and saw … Continue reading Shadows

Resurrection Sunday Celebration at our house
This past Sunday was, for Christians, the most important of all the days in the year. From the beginning, there was sin in our world and the only way to "pay" for that sin was to sacrifice an animal, usually a lamb, which would take on the sin and be sacrificed so that we could … Continue reading Resurrection Sunday Celebration at our house
What is your definition of quality time?
As kids grow up, spending time together becomes a challenge each and every day. Wake them up, get dressed, eat and then rush out the door to get them to school on time.

What’s on my mind
As I sit here, excited that it hasn't been another year since my last blog post, I try to distill my thoughts into a single blog theme but it just doesn't seem to want to move in that direction. So, I will drizzle out the rumblings in my brain so that maybe I can sleep … Continue reading What’s on my mind
My Life of Clichés
I say this every time, but "where has the time gone?" This week I took my son, who will turn 5 in October, to his first day of Pre-K. I have heard too many times to "enjoy this time because before you know it they will be graduating." I really didn't know whether to cry … Continue reading My Life of Clichés
