Great Place to Be: Motivation
http://greatplacetobeacow.blogspot.com/2013/01/motivation.html
Friday, January 11. It’s really hard to find the motivation to send Christmas presents to a person who hates you. Have any of you ever done it? Do you see all these hurdles? All the hoops you are going to have to jump through to get these gifts to this person who hates you? I have to say that I always feel better - lighter in heart - if I just bite the bullet and do the thing I dont want to do, especially if I know that its the right thing to do. If I find myself saying, a normal person would be fine...

Great Place to Be: Overheard
http://greatplacetobeacow.blogspot.com/2012/10/overheard.html
Saturday, October 20. Last week I was sitting in my local Starbucks, studying. This song came on the radio. My heart swooned. It's just that kind of song. That night there were two young women who were working the coffee bar. This song came on the radio. This conversation followed:. I don't like this song. What's it even suppose to be about? Yeah, no kidding. This song is about love. The redemptive power of love. Whats it even suppose to be about? Thanks for sharing the song and the conversation. I'm a y...

Great Place to Be: Fiddlin'
http://greatplacetobeacow.blogspot.com/2012/09/fiddlin.html
Friday, September 21. I'm fiddling with the layout of the blog. If it looks like I'm not sure which direction I want to take the design it's because I'm not. I'm just fiddlin' at the moment. So excuse the mess. And now for a completely random segway. Alex, my one and only baby is in 8th grade this year. Part of being in 8th grade means your parents get to buy an ad in the yearbook to congratulate you on graduating to high school. and show you how much they love you. September 21, 2012 at 1:33 PM.

Great Place to Be: I'm fine. Or not.
http://greatplacetobeacow.blogspot.com/2012/09/im-fine-or-not.html
Thursday, September 20. I'm fine. Or not. I never know what to share about these kinds of things, but I was talking about this with my yuppie lawyer sister and she said, “Write a blog post about this. I want to read it.” So here we go. As I wrote about back in January. This is happening. The reigning theory is that all the chemo and radiation I’ve had possibly changed the make-up of my blood. As my doctor so eloquently puts it, “It could be your blood is just different now. I’m just not really enth...

Great Place to Be: Where my mind is wondering
http://greatplacetobeacow.blogspot.com/2012/09/where-my-mind-is-wondering.html
Monday, September 17. Where my mind is wondering. It was recently pointed out to me that I haven't posted in over a year. I'm not sure why. A lot has happened, and a lot hasn't changed. I have nothing of note to say at the moment, just random offerings, but I think it gives you an idea of where my head is right now. German theological vocab word of the day:. As much as we are looking for the sitz im laben -. Why is this story being told? An important distinction to make I think. Alex Quote from Friday.

Great Place to Be: Eve
http://greatplacetobeacow.blogspot.com/2012/12/eve.html
Monday, December 31. I'm not going to lie, I haven't posted much because I often start to write than think, "Never mind. This is exhausting.". I'm not making any grand resolutions for the new year. I don't know what the new year brings. It is filled with a lot of "if this - than thats." So I am keeping it simple and hoping for just a few things: less anxiety, a lot more sleep, and joy - pure joy. 2 Holy Spaces; Holy Silence. He's had some health scares this year, but he pulled through. I feel like I ...

Great Place to Be: DU OVR
http://greatplacetobeacow.blogspot.com/2012/09/du-ovr.html
Wednesday, September 26. The personalized licenses plate craze seems to be hitting an all time high. I’m not sure what it is about the 9. Floor of the downtown garage I park in each day, but that is where I’ve seen the best ones. My top five:. I just noticed the DU OVR plate this morning and it instantly stole my heart. I think the fact it’s on a BMW makes me wonder that much more, “Why do you. Need to DU OVR? Of course everyone could use a do over. Did God get it wrong? Because grace is scandalous. ...
