“Super-Love” (a truthful lullaby)

10:11 am

April 28, 2008
(for Q and Z-my Super Heroes)

verse
I want to protect you. I want to tell you everything will be OK.
I want to make it better. I want to tell you all the pain will go away.
But I can’t do that. I’m not magic!
I can’t do that. I’m not fantastic!
chorus
I’m just [...]

This One Moment

12:59 pm

April 25, 2008
I thought it only fitting to counter the Marvin Gaye post with one that shows the other side of “us”. The side where we don’t want to do bodily harm to each other in the middle of the night.
I am here. He is here. Soft breathing…I hear him [...]

“I Saw What I Saw” by Sara Groves

5:19 pm

April 24, 2008
Oh….. how I love me some Sara Groves!!! I stumbled on this video last night and just had to share it. My heart softens a little more everyday, as God shows me what it really means to love Him. Bible studies, small groups, church picnics and hand raising worship services [...]

Honeysuckle Chains

10:44 am

April 23, 2008
There is a road I drive on every day between my house and my life. For the past couple of days I have had this strange nostalgic feeling as I curve down it’s windy twists and turns. I start to catch this sweet smell, my mind spins for a second and [...]

A Social Commentary! (from Conroe, TX)

7:07 pm

April 20, 2008
I was walking out of First Baptist after dropping my kids off at school this morning. I saw these two sweet little old ladies laboriously getting out of their car and approaching the door with their hands full. Of course, being the good citizen of Conroe that I am, I hurried [...]

Power in the Blood???

8:50 pm

April 16, 2008
I wrote this a few weeks ago…I have hesitated in posting it for some reason. Only tonight, has it found it’s rightful place deep-deep inside of me, when I am feeling utterly powerless. My husband is lands away and my heart is stricken with worry and fear tonight, for the first time [...]

Truth Serum! (Kent in Africa)

11:22 pm

I have been running around for days buying travel shampoos and trail mix and mosquito nets, thankful for the distraction of busyness. It kept me focused on the tasks at hand, rather than fretting about the 8 more days of single parenting that lay ahead of me (I know, i am a wimp!). [...]

Where is Marvin Gaye When You Need Him? (Sexual Healing)

4:50 pm

Posted with my sweet husbands permission, for the benefit of “sexual healing” for all!

So a few weeks ago Kent and I had been kind of talking about this 30 day sex challenge, in a joking sort of way. I said, “Ya, let’s try it”, meaning like “Ya right, let’s TRY“. And Kent [...]

Trucker Mom

4:19 pm

My son and his friend were riding in the back seat while I was driving us to dinner. The conversation went something like this.
Quillen: My mom is so cool. You know why?
Friend: Why?
Quillen: She can do this awesome thing. But it’s really gross!!!
Me: Buddy - - be careful what [...]

I am LOVED! I am KNOWN!

10:26 am

This is a comment that I received from my “Sister” in response to my One Conversation post last month. It made me laugh. It made me sob! It reminded me that not only am I loved…but I am KNOWN! And that, in this world, is a rarity. We were college [...]
