One Year, 2 Months and 6 Days Later. My dad died a little over a year ago and, far and away, it was the most difficult thing I've ever navigated. I feel blessed that my first major tragedy arrived at 30 years old. For so many, it happens so often and so early. But, that's for another blog. I still miss the heck outta my dad. He was so great.he just really was a great man, father, friend, mentor, tax adviser math tutor, softball coach, etc. Faith- help me get through things right now, too. Yup, I like...

Kristen's Blog: The first of many posts in 2013....and other goals I might not achieve
http://kknouff.blogspot.com/2013/01/the-first-of-many-posts-in-2013and.html
The first of many posts in 2013.and other goals I might not achieve. Well, my dear aunt requested that I increase my blogs to something better than 2 or 3/year, which didn't seem too tall an order to fill.and, I like my aunt a lot. So here we are. At the beginning of each year, I think we all, as individuals, tend to be a bit nostalgic, a bit hopeful, a bit self-loathing and a bit arrogant. Otherwise, why would such a large percentage of us think that this. So that's where I'll start. 9 I found ways to i...

Joe, of course, was wonderful. Hugs, offers of hot tea and the space and freedom to know that crying is perfectly healthy. My faith be stronger than ever?

Effect on Jesus' death on the cross, and zero. Now, I want to bac...

Kristen's Blog: You might disagree, and that's okay...
http://kknouff.blogspot.com/2013/01/you-might-disagree-and-thats-okay.html
You might disagree, and that's okay. Things that are true:. 1 Christians are hypocrites; the ones who say they're not. Hypocrites might be the most wrong. 2 Christians are not goody-goodies; the ones who say that they are. Probably aren't getting things quite right. 3 Christians are no better- or worse- than anyone else. 4 Christians are not different from anyone else. 5 Christians don't have exclusive rights to redemptive grace. 6 You don't have to be a Christian to be a "good person". Two Shades of Pink.

My sister and brother-in-law's anniversary. But, Dad isn't here. I have no cake, I will save a few bucks on gifts this year, and I don't feel especially merry. I miss Dad. That will not be a surprise to anyone. I don't cry every day now, but there are still moments.Dad was concerned about leaving a legacy, but his concern was totally unfounded.he is in so much of what I do, and I know that the same is true for my sister and mother, among others. What they could manage) to honor and serve and welcome me.

Kristen's Blog: The Weight is Over, Pt. 3
http://kknouff.blogspot.com/2013/04/the-weight-is-over-pt-3.html
The Weight is Over, Pt. 3. 1 GI Joe is right: Knowing is. The assumptions that I made about foods before actually taking the time to learn about them were only partly supported by actual data. For example, yes, it is. True that fast food is incredibly unhealthy. So, I was right about that. But, for reasons unknown, I somehow had it in my mind that a tortilla, being so thin, must not be too. Were way off base, too. 2 Being informed about the things that we eat is wildly important. 3 It's not pizza's fault.
