So I’ve seen the “15 Things You’re Not Ashamed Of†here or there and I thought it would be kinda cool to be tagged, but I assumed I never would be. For some reason I’m just not the taggable type. But then Raquel tagged me and I get the chance to subject all of y’all [...]

Today I am thankful for songs and for people to sing them with. For complicated songs sung skillfully. For simple songs sung with gusto. For enthusiastic voices off-key and for a loud leading voice. For songs sung in happiness and songs sung in sorrow. For songs that lift our eyes to Heaven and make our [...]

This is an historic occasion wherein I have actually been tagged with one of those silly “list a certain number of certain kinds of things about yourself that no one ever actually wanted to know”. In this case I have been tagged by Emil to list 15 about myself I’m not ashamed to admit. As [...]

Today I am thankful for Penny Coffee Day at Kade’s coffee. You go in, you give them a penny and they give you a cup of hot, wonderful coffee. It’s genius, really. I took the kids out yesterday and we drank coffee and played cards. It’s an opportunity to have a special tradition that takes [...]

Today I am thankful for cows. They’re so funny looking and so useful. For milk, meat, manure, leather and that funny ‘moo’ sound I say thank You.
Creator,
I thank You today for funny looking animals,
For the variety You’ve crafted into the world,
And I thank You for milk without which life would not be worth living.
Amen.

Today I am thankful for my friends. For loud meals around a table. For listening and for talking. For wanting me around and needing me. For the gifts they give and the times they don’t understand what they’ve done that’s so good. For laughter, tears, hugs, and giving hands. For all these things I give [...]

Today I am thankful for the tree I saw outside my window yesterday. It was set against a warm blue sky and it was weeping leaves the color of fire. I looked at it today and all the leaves were gone. The sky is cold gray and the branches are like fingers. When the wind [...]

(For Jennifer)
Today I am thankful for pizza. For cheap Little Caesar’s pizza that comes at the end of a stressful day. For One World pizza which I always like more than I think I will. For homemade pizza made by someone else. For pizza floppy and full of toppings. For cheese pizza. For proper New [...]

Today I am thankful for the Sabbath. For the gift of an entire to spend with God, to spend with each other and to slack off. I am thankful for the love our Father shows us in this command and for the rhythm it gives our weeks and years.
Kind Father, Who shows His children [...]
