Sin and Evil?
I received an email today titled “Beware of Oprah”. Apparently she is working with Marianne Willamson to bring a radio show together for a New Age course called “A Course in Miracles”.
I’m not sure what it’s all about and I’m not sure I care. What interested me is that the author of the email claims […]

Something in Minnesota needs a resolution.
My Grandma is dying. Or maybe she’s not.
My cousin Todd, a severely PTSD’d veteran from Iraq and North Korea, called me from Minnesota and my sisters yesterday to tell us that my Grandma was scheduled to have surgery for a pacemaker this week, but has declined rapidly and is unresponsive and may not survive the […]

Ducks swim underwater, and other things a software administrator learns
On my first day on the job as a software administrator, the Help Desk manager handed me a sticky note with the software support line phone number. Below the number, he’d taped a package of Tylenol. “You’re going to need this,” he said.
As a high school graduate with a couple of years’ experience sweating in […]

Where the February is my coffee?*
“I’m going to the store to pick up coffee. Need anything else?” I asked Big Guy.
“No no no. I’ll pick some up at the church. The senior ladies are selling Fair Trade coffee there.”
Cool. That was about 5 days ago. Several times since then I have mentioned that the coffee supply is running low and […]

Things my Ministry Director suggested I DON’T blog about
You know you’re an old married couple when all the kids will be gone for hours and you use that time to go grocery shopping and make turkey stock. Oh, and maybe check a blog or two.
We recently acquired a gorgeous red-and-gold antique chair for our bedroom and welcomed it into our family. I got […]

Beans, beans, the musical fruit
Today we’re making Chiles en Nogada (stuffed poblano peppers) and frijoles (stewed beans) for a dinner party tonight. I’ve been running up and down the stairs checking on the beans because I once had a horrible bean experience and I never want to repeat it.
When I was nineteen I married a Mexican guy and we […]

Snippets 2
Thanks to my cousin Melissa at Suburban Bliss, I have a new profession to add to my list of the worst jobs in the world. See it here. I’m thankful that my career path has never led me into the field of Butthole Bleaching.
During the intro to Family Guy, is little Stewie singing “Laugh and Cry” […]

Another Goodbye
In a few weeks, my pastor and friend of 14 years is leaving our church for new opportunities. I’m grieving.
