Everyone Doesn’t Mean EVERYONE

I LOVE Perryann. We laugh a lot-generally at my expense. I love that when we hang out, we have fun. I would not trade these 3 minutes 29 seconds for the world. This is soooo us. The set up. New photos were taken of all of Sandals staff.  A co-worker has his new picture on FB [...]

Have Your Way

My husband’s comment: “I think God cares less about our “plan” and more about our character”. He is so right. Our friend Matt’s tweet: Me to my cat’s incessant meowing: “Shut up! Your convenience is not part of my plan.” then to my wife: “I feel like I just echoed God” He is so right. [...]

Smart Car, Cigarettes and Alanis Morissette

Twice yesterday I saw the same woman driving a smart car and smoking a cigarette. My first thought when I see something like this happening is…why would you buy a Smart car? If you own a “smart” car and do something “stupid” in it doesn’t that cancel out the perceived smartness? Another oxymoron of sorts? That’s [...]

Tagging-in the Name of Jesus

I was sitting in the bank parking lot today and tagged on the side of an adjacent vacant building was Jesus Saves. It wasn’t even creative or colorful. It was black paint with poor penmanship. Isn’t tagging or graffiti about God on a public building an oxymoron of sorts? Doesn’t the bad cancel out the good? [...]

Lady Gaga’s Got Nothing On This Kid

I am not a huge fan of Lady Gaga or 6th graders singing about cigarettes, cherry pie or the virtues of chasing someone down until you have forced someone to love you or until you get their picture-but this kid is amazing.

Is Kindergarten For Her or For Me?

Gracie is going to kindergarten in the fall. I am not emotional about her going to school nor do I want to keep her a baby forever. Quite the opposite. I love my girls and I love to see them grow. Seeing who they are becoming and with such anticipation to see where they end [...]

I Won the Trifecta!

No, not at Santa Anita, Del Mar or Hollywood Park.  And I did not bring home a huge payout but in my mind, I think I may have scored bigger than that anyway. My Trifecta: 1. He found all of the socks that were missing it’s match and WASHED AND DRIED them. 2. He did the DINNER DISHES. 3. [...]

Do You Take the Toilet Paper When You Move?

We were at a birthday party this past weekend at a house that Gracie had never been at before. It is an adorable almost “wood streets” home built in the 20’s maybe 30’s. It has charm and period architecture with cut outs and built in’s and a bathroom that has what appears to be well [...]

I Thought I Had a Picture of The Last Time I Saw Her

photo by Matt Weybright Gracie loves our church. One of the things that I love most about it is how loved my children are by everyone we know there. She is comfortable and she feels safe. Our church is also located on a college campus. We meet in the gym each week. At many times throughout a [...]
