Saturday, August 30, 2008. Amidst fervent prayers and listening for God's voice and the voices of those we trust . we read. Right now, I'm reading a simple yet profound book called Ten Things Your Child With Autism Wishes You Knew. Here's just a sampling of some of the words that have encouraged me today and reminded me of what I already know, but often forget. There is no shortcut to anyplace worth going." - Beverly Sills, mother of two special needs children. Wednesday, August 6, 2008. These are likely...

Thursday, November 6, 2008. Escape to The Sexy Tour. Tomorrow morning, Matt and I are planning our escape. Don't worry, we're not running away permanently (although the temptation is often overwhelming). We're doing something completely illogical and driving to San Jose and back in three days. Why? That would be free tickets to The Sexy Tour with great friends. The Sexy Tour . hmmmmm . is it Madonna . or the Jonas Brothers . or Usher? Here's what you might have been missing:.

Wednesday, November 5, 2008. An Irish prayer for tomorrow morning. This Irish prayer is attributed to Saint Patrick and often referred to as the "breastplate" of St. Patrick, i.e. words that shield. May Christ protect you today and be your strength. -Natalie. Through the strength of heaven;. Light of the sun,. Splendor of fire,. Swiftness of wind,. Depth of the sea,. Stability of earth,. Through God's strength to pilot me;. God's might to uphold me,. God's wisdom to guide me,. God's hand to guard me.

Thursday, January 17, 2008. Prayers of the suffering. Yeah, it's been a while since we wrote last time, but come on - it was December! We've been in the midst of a great deal of sorrow and tragedy lately for some reason. Matt said the other day "I feel like God is trying to get our attention." The journey feels heavy and sad right now. We just keep walking and trust that Jesus knows what we can handle - although it's hard not to think he might be wrong on this one. WE BELONG TO YOU.

Tuesday, March 25, 2008. What's on Bennett's mind today? Mom, why can't I see my face unless I look in a mirror? Sunday, March 23, 2008. Something to share on Easter. The most famous man in history held me today while I cried. He didn’t question my faith and point out that I was weak. He didn’t tell me to use my head and make sense of it all. He didn’t push me to stand up, dust myself off and get on with things. Instead, he simply reminded me that he had cried alone, too –. January 24, 2008. This is a cl...

Thursday, April 24, 2008. Bonus post: It's Bennett's garden . I just work here. It's April in Arizona and I've actually been paying attention to the garden this year! We've been excited to have the chance to enjoy the beauty that five years of work and planning has produced. Not that the work is done - I still have lots of ideas to add to its beauty (it's called shoving plants into the ground until there's no sign of soil left - ha! Autistic need support, not pity. Anyway, it's so important to really lis...

Thursday, September 20, 2007. Where have we been? Somehow I checked and it's been about two weeks since we last posted here. I have no idea how that happened . we've been distracted by life's challenges lately, I think. Anyway, I don't feel much like writing, but I did want to share some recent photos of our beautiful boys (and just a few of their beautiful cousins! From our midwest trip. Tuesday, September 4, 2007.

Monday, June 9, 2008. It could happen any time, tornado,. Earthquake, Armageddon. It could happen. Or sunshine, love, salvation. It could, you know. That's why we wake. And look out - no guarantees. But some bonuses, like morning,. Like right now, like noon,. My amazing husband who I still cherish and desire and love to laugh with and simply be with after 15 years. My parents who are faithful and gracious, giving their love and understanding and support in abundance. My books that provide an escape.

Tuesday, October 28, 2008. Thomas Merton's Prayer . and mine. MY LORD GOD, I have no idea where I am going. I do not see the road ahead of me. I cannot know for certain where it will end. Nor do I really know myself, and the fact that I think that I am following your will does not mean that I am actually doing so. But I believe that the desire to please you does in fact please you. And I hope I have that desire in all that I am doing. I hope that I will never do anything apart from that desire. And I'm n...
