Don’t worry. There aren’t really beavers in my house. It’s just that every time I started thinking about the “B Verse” post, I was thinking of myself speaking in my awesome ghetto-hood wannabe voice shouting (scissor hands pointed sidewise, head cocked confidently), “B VERSE, in da HOUSE!” And then of course, all I could think…Continue reading Beavers in the House

I Love The Fattened Calf
You’ll be excited to know that after asking you scads and scads of seemingly rhetorical questions at the end of blog posts, someone has responded!! You may recall that at the end of the I Love Ram post, I asked “Do you have a cool ram story? A manna story? We all love to learn…Continue reading I Love The Fattened Calf
I Love Ram
Let’s start off with a little preamble because you know how much I love a good preamble. Then we will proceed through Parts 1-4. (Did I mention I’ve been reading a lot of Dickens?

I Love Ram Prequel
I’m sure that many of you are waiting with bated breath for more information about the Save to Give Challenge. You are surely dying to know if we kept up with our giving despite the summer complications of having no income. (NOT! No one is waiting, and you have all forgotten; I am sure.) Nonetheless,…Continue reading I Love Ram Prequel
Satire, Theatrics, and Soul Food – In Three Acts
Well, it’s been three weeks in the “Eating Poorganic” world and I have to say, I am learning a lot. (If you don’t know what “Eating Poorganically” is, read about my little self-challenge to push my skepticism aside and eat real and organic foods on a budget. I’m trying to alternate posting between my normal…Continue reading Satire, Theatrics, and Soul Food – In Three Acts
JELL-O
This is a story about my friend who, a little less than a year ago, went on her very first overseas mission trip. She went to the Philippines to work at a school and orphanage that our church supports. Of course, even though I have never been there, I peppered her with advice. She needed…Continue reading JELL-O
I am a Dipwad
After the lovely post my sister did early this week making me sound WAY more awesome than I really am, I thought we should all come back to reality. (Thanks L, by the way. You know that Sheryl Crow song where she sings “Are you strong enough to be my man?” and then later on…Continue reading I am a Dipwad
Change Addiction
Warning: The following is one of my all too infrequent soapbox vent moments. This one is about church. So, if you are up for that sort of thing, read on. If reading someone else’s annoying brilliant declarations makes you squirm (as it often does to me, a non-lover of other people’s opinions), I invite you…Continue reading Change Addiction
Dear False Guilt
Dear False Guilt, I CAN’T believe you dared to show your ugly face around me again! And so sneaky . . . .After that whole knock-down drag-out we had five years ago in PNG where you made me feel like the world’s worst mom and biggest loser, I thought I’d recognize you if you crept…Continue reading Dear False Guilt
