Funky Cold Medinas: November 2011
http://funkycoldmedinas.blogspot.com/2011_11_01_archive.html
Thursday, November 17, 2011. Sometimes emotion hits unexpectedly, welling up inside, becoming a big tight ball of tension behind the eyes and throat. And then, the pressure becomes too great, and the dam bursts, no longer able to hold back the torrent of pain and heartache flooding forth in constricted and unwilling tears. I felt the poignant ache of loss and love and hope and loss. This was the first time I’d ever let that thought become more than a flitting wisp; I genuinely wanted to be out of t...

Funky Cold Medinas: August 2014
http://funkycoldmedinas.blogspot.com/2014_08_01_archive.html
Monday, August 18, 2014. Typically, I am not a quitter. I force myself to see things through to a natural conclusion, no matter how painful or how hard. That fatalistic determination has changed somewhat since losing my intestine. Some things just aren’t worth it and I have had to realize I just cannot do everything I think I can; that’s why I am so very careful and particular about what I commit myself to. There’s no way. I’ve set myself up for complete failure. A person’s spiritual life cannot be...

Funky Cold Medinas: July 2012
http://funkycoldmedinas.blogspot.com/2012_07_01_archive.html
Tuesday, July 24, 2012. Baby Medina grave, 7/24/12. I Will Come to You. Tonight I finally braved my broken heart. And gathered up my nerve. I went to see you, keeping my mind impassive and my emotions carefully filed away. Stoically, I marched across the newly plowed passage. Leading straight from the gate to your shady spot of rest. Your brother and sisters scampered across the field,. Dodging scattered donkey pies as if we were out for an evening adventure walk. I wanted them to meet you,. 8220;I could...

The Vanns Five: June 2009
http://thevannsfive.blogspot.com/2009_06_01_archive.html
Wednesday, June 10, 2009. Taking Communication for Granted. Tonight was frustration, as I got a call from the chap. asst. wife saying that Austin had tried to call me! So I tried to call him to the satellite phone and all I got was a message telling me the number was disconnected! I called her back and she texted her husband. Finally, I got a call and it was Austin! All I know is I will never ever look at a phone call, email, text, or any connection from my hubby the same way again! Tuesday, June 2, 2009.

Funky Cold Medinas: The Easter Hat Challenge
http://funkycoldmedinas.blogspot.com/2012/03/easter-hat-challenge.html
Friday, March 16, 2012. The Easter Hat Challenge. Now that I’m a mother of two little girls and one handful of boy, I do realize that Easter is not about the new clothes, the hunting of eggs, the eating of ham or other such traditions, though traditions aren’t a bad thing when put in the right place and kept there. Easter is about celebrating our Lord and Savior’s victory over death! So, if we want to celebrate the day by wearing new duds or eating ham, well, so be it, as long as the focus is about Him.

Funky Cold Medinas: King of Glory
http://funkycoldmedinas.blogspot.com/2013/03/king-of-glory.html
Friday, March 29, 2013. And so the King of Glory came down as man. One moment hailed in triumph,. The next denigrated for His claim. Nothing but truth ever left His lips. And yet He was cruelly mocked,. Flogged mercilessly with a lead tipped whip,. And a crown of spiked thorns driven ruthlessly into his scalp. After his body was beaten, torn, bleeding, and raw. He was forced to drag his own heavy instrument of death. To His place of death so fittingly called the Place of the Skull. And deprivation will b...

Monday, August 22, 2011. So I Do Not Run or Labor for Nothing. I have a new personal goal. I used to be a runner…not a particularly fast runner, but I was slow and steady and I’d run about 6 or more miles a day. This, of course, was pre-wedding, pre-babies, and pre-6 inches. In between babies, I’d managed to get myself together enough to run 2 or 3 miles without passing out and I was happy with that. It’s much too hot here in Texas. 108 is a number I keep seeing and wishing I wasn’t. ...I’d forgott...

The Vanns Five: November 2009
http://thevannsfive.blogspot.com/2009_11_01_archive.html
Friday, November 27, 2009. I am continually learning how selfish I can be. I think having a baby will do that to you! Just a few months ago I was fighting to get more than 3 hours of sleep a night and once Ezra began sleeping through the night, I had more "me" time. I felt like a new person and who can blame a new mom for feeling so great once her baby was sleeping more. I was getting more sleep and getting more done.heavenly! And online looking for solutions all day and night! Sunday, November 22, 2009.
