Veg out in front of the TV with a good movie or TV show.
2) Your work week is done and the brain is fried (for some Friday, others Sunday afternoon), what do you do?
On Sunday afternoons I nap!

Goodbye Wishbone
Posted in Personal, tagged grieving on October 31, 2008 | 5 Comments »
Our Wishbone has been declining in health for a long time now. We finally said good-bye yesterday. We miss him already.
A few friends of ours have sent a poem called Rainbow Bridge about a place where our beloved furry friends go and wait for us. The girls have taken a lot of comfort in this [...]
Enough already!

Unfortunately I can’t nab the comic and share it here. However go and visit Matt Bors for a good reminder that all of the canidates are simply human beings, just like the rest of us. Whatever side you find yourself, it’s important to remember that they are simply people like us. It’s so easy to get [...]
How cool is this?

This is an artilce from Faith in Action, News & Views from the United Methodist Board of Church and Society. At first I was skeptical but as I read the article and Rev. Fowler said, “Nothing is scarier than a life out on the streets without a family, a church or a support system.” she [...]

Singing Owl writes:
My daughter, her husband, and their toddler, Trinity Ann, are moving from Minneapolis, Minnesota to our place. It’s a long story, but the short version is that they will be loading a Ryder truck on Saturday, and on Sunday afternoon we will unload it into a storage unit in our town. They will [...]
Grant Proposal
Posted in Uncategorized on October 20, 2008 | 2 Comments »
I’m behind (as usual) but am looking forward to writing my first grant proposal to bring our church into the 21st Century with our technology and worship possibilities. It’s been fun dreaming about what to ask for in the proposal. Explaining why isn’t so bad but coming up with a measurable something or other to [...]

Songbird writes, “Well, Gals and Pals, this weekend we’ll be rendering unto Caesar what is Caesar’s, and that has me thinking about coinage.”1) When was the last time you flipped a coin or even saw one flipped in person?
Probably a month ago, considering that we have 3 girls who fight often, sometimes coin flips work [...]

This morning during our Invitation to the Psalms Bible Study, someone pointed out a particular paragraph. It stated:
Too often we give up on a practice of faith if it does not instantly yield the desired results; and usually “desired results” means an uptick in our emotional state, a good feeling of some sort, a confirmation [...]
I’ve found it!

For the last several years I’ve been trying to find a prayer and devotional something-or-other. I’ve wanted something that really fed my soul and helped me to nurture my relationship with God.
I’ve got a little ADD action so sometimes it’s difficult for me to stick with one particular thing. One of my favorite devotional books [...]
The Pumpkin Patch (es)
Posted in Personal, tagged Personal on October 15, 2008 | 1 Comment »
Sunday afternoon turned into an adventure. We had been informed of a very low-cost pumpkin patch not very far out of town. As we arrived Merkin piped up that it looked spooky, a great place for a horror movie (I’m not sure that she’s ever actually seen one!). Unfortunately, the nice gentleman who owns the [...]
