Mamamax: October 2005
http://mamamax6.blogspot.com/2005_10_01_archive.html
Friday, October 21, 2005. Papa puts them to sleep. I did it again. And you know what? Since he started doing this they started saying his name. It’s no longer Nana’s house, but Nana and Papa (or Pop-pop). I have wondered why these precious little ones love us. Watching them with him I realized that the love begins in the feeling of care and safety. They love and trust him because he comforts them when they can’t do it themselves.

Mamamax: September 2005
http://mamamax6.blogspot.com/2005_09_01_archive.html
Monday, September 26, 2005. It began as the week from Hell. I broke a tooth on Saturday and couldn’t get in to see the dentist until Thursday morning. By Monday I was in a state of fear, being attacked by the minions of Satan. Added to that, I had scheduled an MRI on my foot for Wednesday night and Thursday night my semi annual boob squashing experience. (Otherwise known as the mammogram.). Compared to the fear and anxiety I experience over the tooth, the radiology experiences were nothing, really! When ...

Mamamax: July 2006
http://mamamax6.blogspot.com/2006_07_01_archive.html
Tuesday, July 18, 2006. As I stirred and boiled and poured, I had plenty of time to think about why I was taking time to do this. I decided I truly enjoy the whole activity. My favorite part of canning is taking the jars out of the hot steam and hearing the lids suck down. Such a satisfying sound! Then I get to stack a whole cupboard full, stand back and enjoy my work. Like the Creator, thinking,. Posted by Mamamax @ 9:33 AM. Sunday, July 09, 2006. Ah the joys of summer! Posted by Mamamax @ 7:12 PM.

Mamamax: August 2005
http://mamamax6.blogspot.com/2005_08_01_archive.html
Monday, August 29, 2005. What are Memories Made of? Sugar and Spice and everything nice. Sitting around the campfire reminiscing with my now-grown children about the good camping trips we enjoyed with their grandparents, aunt and uncle and cousins made me grateful. Grateful that when we had had enough sibling squabbling (both generations), dirt, whining kids and whacked out schedules that we persevered! Grateful that as the years and trips increased the tribulations associated with them decreased. The Ho...

Mamamax: June 2006
http://mamamax6.blogspot.com/2006_06_01_archive.html
Tuesday, June 20, 2006. On average I collect about 2 pounds a trip. It is interesting that early in the season my haul consisted of many slugs of small to medium size. Now I get maybe a couple dozen big daddies ranging from nauseating orange to fascinating leopard skin. Does this mean I am making progress in my quest to eradicate slugs from my yard? It’s really a great way to start the day! Try it sometime; of course you have to live west of the Cascades to enjoy slugging. Posted by Mamamax @ 7:11 AM.

Mamamax: April 2006
http://mamamax6.blogspot.com/2006_04_01_archive.html
Thursday, April 13, 2006. I have a mansion in heaven. I've done so well. Posted by Mamamax @ 8:26 AM. Wednesday, April 12, 2006. The world is charged with the grandeur of God. It will flame out, like shining from shook foil;. It gathers to a greatness, like the ooze of oil. Crushed. Why do men then now not reck his rod? Generations have trod, have trod, have trod;. And all is seared with trade; bleared, smeared with toil;. And wears man's smudge and shares man's smell: the soil. View my complete profile.

Mamamax: March 2006
http://mamamax6.blogspot.com/2006_03_01_archive.html
Monday, March 27, 2006. Sometimes I feel like I will never fit anywhere! I am too liberal for the Nazarene church. I believe in an emphasis on what God has done for me (Grace) over what I have done for God (Holiness). In the Baptist church I miss the denominational consistency that is not there in an association of churches. I keep wondering, "Who keeps them from going off the deep end with some misguided leader? But then the denomination surely did not protect First Church, or for that matter, Monrovia.

Mamamax: November 2005
http://mamamax6.blogspot.com/2005_11_01_archive.html
Wednesday, November 23, 2005. John 14:15 If you love me, you will keep my commandments. Remember those pictures that if you looked one way you saw an old crone, but another way you saw a beautiful woman? What you saw depended on which prominent feature your eyes first picked out. It was amazing when someone else showed you how to see the other image. But what if you look at that verse like someone in love? The old question, When your teacup gets bumped, what sloshes out?

Mamamax: February 2006
http://mamamax6.blogspot.com/2006_02_01_archive.html
Monday, February 20, 2006. Adventures on the pond this weekend included the following:. Michael repeatedly trying to see if the ice would hold his weight. Jon T walking across yep it cracked a little. Me crawling to the middle to trim the dead papyrus bush down to ice-level. Looking down through 3 inches of ice to see the fish and clear water under is a weird experience. Kaya, Nana, and Colton throwing and rolling rocks on to the ice. Now I understand the attraction of curling (SP?
