I have trouble with prayer a lot of times. Especially when I call it prayer. I very much enjoy a steady dialogue with God throughout my day, but when it comes to “praying for someone” or even just asking for myself… I’m still not certain how best to do that. See, it seems to me…
Living In America
Earlier tonight while I was cleaning off our table after a meal, I just thought how crazy lucky we were to have it. It’s a great table. I hope it’s in our family for a long time. No matter where we may roam. Then I thought… how crazy is it that we got to be…
By George, You May Be Right!
Tonight as I listened to a podcast about black holes and the research some folks are doing surrounding the somewhat theoretical existence of such things, I thought, “What if we get to heaven and the guys who work so hard to figure out how stuff got started actually turn out to be more right than…
I Love The Sky!
I am simply captivated by the sky. I always have been. I love looking at the night sky the most, I’d say… but really anything that happens in the vast expanse is just mesmerizing to me. Various cloud formations, beautiful colors at sunset (not too many sunrises in the ol’ memory banks…), and I do…
Visitation Hours Are Over
This weekend, we spent time with so many people!!! And I LOVED it!!! I actually figured out that we spent twelve straight hours with friends yesterday. From 11am (ish) to after 11pm (ish) we were with three different families! Two of those were planned, then the third was a super cool surprise. And, you could…
I Believe In The Holy Catholic Church…
If you have not heard, the Pope decided recently to pull back the reins a bit on those loosey-goosey Catholics, and get back to the things that really made Catholics, well… Catholic. Not only did he decide to do Mass in Latin once again (I think it’s called the “Tridentine Mass”), now he has said…
The Weekend That Was, Is, And Is To Come
Usually I don’t tell about a busy weekend in the middle of it, but I thought I’d make an exception today. I told a friend via e-mail (actually, it was on Facebook) that this weekend was going to be packed full… and I just wanted to write it down so I could remember what a…
Ring Day
Today was Ring Day. My mom calls it our Engagement anniversary. But we never really said anything like that… “We’re engaged!” We just sorta decided to get married. In 1997. Around July 16/17. Then we went to pick out some rings. And they had to do something to get them ready… so… we waited. Until…
Hot Stuff!
Last night Jen and I went downstairs to our basement game table to play a game and spend a little time together after the kids went to bed. It was fun! We played a crazy card game called Charge It! where the point of the game it to rack up as much credit card debt…
Bloons
Thanks to my niece Sammy for another fun (addicting!) online game to play! (Hope it doesn’t crash my blog again!) :-) direct link.
