Sorry for the absence from the blog here. That does happen from time to time, though I do not wish it to be so. I did predict this current lull, however, as we were entering the last few weeks of summer. We had a great trip to Ohio. A nice concert, a good visit with…

Parenting
In the course of many converging events this week, my mind has been directed to the many facets of life as a parent. On the one hand, there are the joys of your children’s successes – doing what they are supposed to, and even surprising you by doing the unexpected. Then there are the pull-out-your-hair…

After some harsh words spoken in anger to my son last night, and the regret I was feeling afterwards, and the thoughts that whirled through my head on how to fix it, I realized what my ultimate goal in life is. I want to be God. I want to always respond in kindness and with…
24-Hour News
I was listening to the Sean Hannity show tonight as I cleaned the kitchen after a big ol’ party at the Campbell home, and I thought something he said was interesting. He was talking about the “mainstream press” coverage of the Iraq war and the formation of their constitution and said, “Can you imagine the…
Cantaloupe… or Musk Melon?
While researching the background of the cantaloupe this week, I learned that all cantaloupes are musk melons but not all musk melons are cantaloupes. If you’re as fascinated by that as I am… click here 🙂
