Beyond the White Picket Fence. Come on in. There's a whole world waiting. Sunday, January 26, 2014. The Week I Was Going To Have It All Together. I wake to find our sweet boxer sleeping in a lake of her own urine. Her continence and hips have been failing for a couple months now. When our campers return, I notice the pile of laundry they dump in the hallway only long enough to schedule it for Monday morning's first load of launch. And please us he does.

Beyond the White Picket Fence. Come on in. There's a whole world waiting. Tuesday, December 24, 2013. When Celebration Doesn't Come Easily. Stings so much, and I wonder if more than a Merry Christmas, we need a Real Christmas, a Christmas when we shed the facade of cheerfulness and speak honestly of our imperfections, grief, and even plain, old-fashioned weariness. I'm not saying we shouldn't be happy and joyful and all that. just that maybe it's okay to be still when all the world dances. Good Friday ty...

Beyond the White Picket Fence: April 2014

Beyond the White Picket Fence. Come on in. There's a whole world waiting. Friday, April 4, 2014. On the Survival of a Church. Our church is at a crossroads. We have studied our past, evaluated our present, and contemplated our future. Like many long-established, small-town churches, our membership has declined as our community has changed, and the bottom line seems to be: Something has to give. What does this mean and how will it keep our church alive for another fifty, hundred, two hundred years? I expe...

Beyond the White Picket Fence: A Simple Philosophy of Family Size
http://wholewideworldinhere.blogspot.com/2014/01/a-simple-philosophy-of-family-size.html
Beyond the White Picket Fence. Come on in. There's a whole world waiting. Friday, January 3, 2014. A Simple Philosophy of Family Size. I've read a lot of blog posts on family size lately. Rather, I've seen. A lot of blog posts on family size. Some of them are just too long to read while waiting for the toast to pop up. Anyhow, since talking about family size is so in vogue, on this cold Friday morning, with Jake and the Neverland Pirates. You get what you get,. You do what you have to do. Because there's...

Beyond the White Picket Fence. Come on in. There's a whole world waiting. Thursday, February 27, 2014. Honest Book Reports - The Iron Ring. Truth time. I love Lloyd Alexander. I mean, I seriously love Lloyd Alexander - with the kind of love that drives a reader to check out every single one of his books her library holds and even request that they purchase one or two missing volumes. Get it? I love Lloyd Alexander. Thematically, Alexander does not disappoint. Honor - true, sacrificial honor - trumps ...

Maybe it's because I'm a mom, or because most of my friends are moms, or because I have a daughter whose biggest dream, when she isn't mesmerized by thoughts of being a dentist or a dolphin trainer, is to be a mom, but when I hear about The Mommy Wars, I want to fight the injustice of a culture that pits women against each other and against themselves. I'll be honest&...

Beyond the White Picket Fence. Come on in. There's a whole world waiting. Sunday, June 16, 2013. You see, there's this guy. When we met, I immediately recognized him as "my sort of person.". And then he said, "What do you think about us getting married? And I said, "This summer? And he said, "Yes.". And so, six weeks later, we each said "I do.". A couple years later, we had a baby. And then we had another. Just when we thought we were complete, we had another baby. I love this guy. I'm not sure how bibli...

Beyond the White Picket Fence. Come on in. There's a whole world waiting. Friday, March 21, 2014. As a homeschooling mom, I realize my opinion on prayer in school may seem somewhat irrelevant. On the other hand, I am a mother and a Christian and an American, and I have opinions - opinions which may earn me a bit of wrath. Because we don't need sanitized prayer by an institution. We need raw, honest prayer and faithful living by followers of Jesus Christ. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).
