I have a really hard time with self-help books. I am always finding them to be either too specific or too generic. Either the book gives you a blueprint for the exact 12 things you need to do to improve whatever in your life or it gives no practical advice whatsoever. I […]
Tuesday, April 22nd, 2008Guilt and Unity
Something I often find myself struggling with is the call to be unified with other believers and my ability to put up with crap (to put it bluntly). I know I should get a better attitude and try to be more open and understanding and all that, but it honestly is a struggle. […]
Saturday, April 19th, 2008I still exist…
Really. I’ve been meaning to blog, honestly. I’ve just been at some doctor’s office or in the hospital just about every day this past week. Everything’s okay (ish) - just trying to keep complications from becoming more complicated. All of that and keeping up with life have just been too draining and overwhelming. Just thought […]
Saturday, April 12th, 2008Life, Identity, and Stuff
So it’s the weekend and I’m completely dead. At my doctor’s appointment yesterday (the first of four this week), I collapsed again after they drew my blood. Most days I can barely walk up the stairs, what did they think would happen after giving me shots and taking four vials of blood out […]
Tuesday, March 11th, 2008An Evening with Anne Lamott
I had a fun evening tonight as I got to go hear one of my favorite authors - Anne Lamott. She was doing a booksigning/Q&A event at a local college and I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to hear her. Traveling Mercies is the most raw and honest book on faith I have ever […]

Things I find sad…
We met with the Realtors today for the “wow we have a lot of crap to do to get our house ready to sell” talk. After deciding that the crosses in our dining room are decorative and not religious (and therefore didn’t need to be removed), they started debating if we […]
Porpoise Diving Life - March 2008
Happy Monday all. Although it is sleeting outside I am quite happy that I can actually look out my window and see something other than snow on the ground for the first time in a couple of months. We actually found newspapers that we thought had never been delivered - they were just […]
Wednesday, February 27th, 2008Baby Update - It’s A Boy
So we had the ultrasound yesterday and found out we are having a boy. Emma came with us to see “pictures of the baby” and responded to that discovery “but I wanted a girl baby!” So we’re going to have to get her used to the whole baby brother concept. The baby […]
Monday, February 18th, 2008Up/rooted and the Other
Do you ever have one of those moments when you really don’t know what to say or do? I just got back from up/rooted, our local Emergent cohort where I had one of those moments. We had some good conversations tonight which I may blog about later when I’m more awake, but it […]
Friday, February 15th, 2008Life Update - Babies, Conferences, and Books
For those who are interested, a bit of an update on me at the moment.
The Good and the Bad
So the main thing dictating my life at the moment is my pregnancy. I’m at 19 weeks and the baby, according to all the tests so far, is doing great. I go in for more […]
Emma Update
So I haven’t posted pictures of Emma here in a long time and I know that is the only reason some of you stop by here… so I thought I would give a quick update. Emma turned three this past week and is most assuredly a full fledged toddler. She loves exploring […]
Wednesday, January 9th, 2008Life
I thought I’d pop in here for a moment with a bit of a life update and apology for the lack of posts. I’ve had family in town and have been busy with them for the past week. It’s been fun, but I haven’t touched my computer in a few days. I promise to get […]
