The small stuff. Really. Maybe the day to day mundane can bring us great joy if we pay attention and use the time in these tasks to connect with others and make an impact. Drive through lines, Grocery store check outs, Elevators, etc.Continue reading “Unpacking MINUTIAE”

Disintegration
Life has been pretty chaotic for me the past few months. Some of the chaos was bad—like my son getting hit by a car and all that goes with that. Some of the chaos has been good—like Blake’s mom being here for a week and my mom here for a week shortly after that. ForContinue reading “Disintegration”

Who is in charge of your life? Who are you in charge of?Very done. “I am over it!”Everything is complete. It’s over now. You can move on. Reflection. Look back. What did you learn. How did you grow?

If you notice, it does not suggest that God not allow difficulties. Just by asking Him to “take them away”,Continue reading “Take away my difficulties”

Unpacking ALWAYS
Wiper-Wisdom
I need a moment to set this one up…let me introduce you a bit to my wild train of thought that landed me here on my couch to write frantically before I have to get a cavity filled in an hour (possibly one of my least favorite procedures, outside of a bone marrow biopsy…).

You are the Problem…
The other morning I was working on some Real Estate stuff on the computer while my son was watching basketball. I felt compelled to share with him my excitement about my job. I said, “I know you probably don’t really care, but I just have to say that I love my job! Sometimes I evenContinue reading “You are the Problem…”

I don’t know if this is an official thing, but it should be: I think I have a “Thanksgiving-Food-Hangover”. Even though Thanksgiving itself was only ONE day and ONE meal, I have actually eaten Thanksgiving food in some form or fashion for the past FOUR days! When diet experts estimate the number of calories theContinue reading ““Thanksgetting””

Poured-out Wine
Last week I was in Napa, California. Wine Country. The fall is “crush” time. It’s when the grapes are harvested and crushed to begin the process of making them in to wine. For a mere $30 you could even participate in crushing grapes the old-fashioned way: with your feet. I decided that was too messyContinue reading “Poured-out Wine”
