Reflections from the Prairie: Week 18: Run, Forest, Fun!
http://reflectionsfromtheprairie.blogspot.com/2013/08/week-18-run-forest-fun.html
Reflections from the Prairie. Thursday, August 8, 2013. Week 18: Run, Forest, Fun! I didn't realize I had gone so long between posts. Summer is speeding along and I have been running (literally and figuratively) to keep up. My summer can be measured by events: first week of June is Annual Conference. July 4th means parade float. The end of July and early August is Vacation Bible School. Youth Group Labor Day Retreat and then fall programs start. Yikes! I am between VBS and Labor Day retreat. One morning,...

Reflections from the Prairie: March 2013
http://reflectionsfromtheprairie.blogspot.com/2013_03_01_archive.html
Reflections from the Prairie. Tuesday, March 19, 2013. Torture in Cute Outfits. Today I meet my new personal trainer. He will coach me into a lifestyle of fitness and "slim-ness". I have been exercising at our church once a week and, although I'm not really don't enjoy exercising, I have a blast with that faithful group that meets in our youth group to walk, jump, run and complain! Many of the fitness centers that do "boot camps", intense, strenuous exercising similar to boot camp in the military and usu...

Reflections from the Prairie: February 2012
http://reflectionsfromtheprairie.blogspot.com/2012_02_01_archive.html
Reflections from the Prairie. Thursday, February 9, 2012. Now more cup holders! I tend to scoff at commercials that claim their projects are now better. You shouldn't need to reformula and redesign if you made it right the first time. However, recent lifestyle changes have made me rethink this attitude. My dietician was the greatest. She spent a lot of time asking questions about my history and my current eating habits. Then, with a flash from her calculator, she created my new diet. Sugar-free grape koo...

Reflections from the Prairie: Week 5: Back on Track
http://reflectionsfromtheprairie.blogspot.com/2013/05/week-5-back-on-track.html
Reflections from the Prairie. Monday, May 6, 2013. Week 5: Back on Track. The run/walk was a 5K or a 10 K. Five K is about 3.2 miles to those non-metric folk. Many families came to walk or run together. The walkers included older adults, mothers pushing strollers and high school students. Of course, it was my only time, but who's keeping track? I was surprised that I felt really good. My blood sugar was a bit low, but I grabbed a sports drink on the way out of the parking lot. My exercise regimen is easi...

Reflections from the Prairie: Week 11: SAS!
http://reflectionsfromtheprairie.blogspot.com/2013/06/week-11-sas.html
Reflections from the Prairie. Tuesday, June 18, 2013. I am a clown. Now, I know that this will not come as a surprise to many people! I tend to walk on the weird side and am completely OK being a fool for Christ. However, the kind of clowning I am referring to is Christian Clowning. White faces to signify dying to oneself to "put on Christ". Movement and music to convey the message God choose to give to his people. I am blessed to be inparted with this gift. I tuck that away in my heart for darker days.

Reflections from the Prairie: April 2013
http://reflectionsfromtheprairie.blogspot.com/2013_04_01_archive.html
Reflections from the Prairie. Monday, April 29, 2013. Week Four: Feeling The Burn. Very few things are as perplexing to me as my blood sugar. I seriously thought that adding an exercise regimen to my diet would lower my blood sugar and all would be right with the world once again. NOT. Sometimes, my blood sugar goes down. Way down. To avoid meeting paramedics and the business end of a dextrose injection, I am planning my meals and snacks carefully. So far, so good. I now have no illusions of being fit...

More Words to Ponder: Sandwich #2–Bornk
http://morewordstoponder.blogspot.com/2011/02/sandwich-2bornk.html
More Words to Ponder. Bits and pieces from the messy room that is my brain. Friday, February 18, 2011. Continuing the saga that started with Around the Universe in 16 sandwiches. I once again entered the doors of Erbert and Gerbert’s (E&G). As a member of the sandwich society, I get a free sandwich if I try all 16 sandwiches on the menu. My first sandwich was the Boney Billy, turkey breast, alfalfa sprouts, tomato, lettuce, and mayo. It was pretty good and I gave it a 4 out of 5 rating. A cold feeling of...

More Words to Ponder: March 2011
http://morewordstoponder.blogspot.com/2011_03_01_archive.html
More Words to Ponder. Bits and pieces from the messy room that is my brain. Thursday, March 3, 2011. Wednesday night I had the pleasure of dining at our church potluck. One of the signature items was a tricked out hot dog. My son was raving about them having sampled one at a youth event last week. He said they were good but made him awfully thirsty. Keep checking the blog to see if the car lasts long enough for me to try the remaining 14 sandwiches at Erb and Gerb’s. Good eating everyone.

Reflections from the Prairie: August 2010
http://reflectionsfromtheprairie.blogspot.com/2010_08_01_archive.html
Reflections from the Prairie. Tuesday, August 24, 2010. Just as side note, there really isn't anything better than a pastromi sandwich at 1:00 am Give it a try! To prepare for this 48 hour trip resembles nothing short of a full military maneuver. The vast amounts of stuff that you need is truly amazing! On retreat, without their parents' supervision, they are allowed to make their own food choices and they do it with abandon! Tylenol, Advil, Benadryl, tissues. Wow! Imagine one large pole about 30 feet ta...
