The Suburban Subversive: Ode to Joy 1: Sam discovers leaves
http://suburbansubversive.blogspot.com/2007/10/ode-to-joy-1-sam-discovers-leaves.html
Friday, October 19, 2007. Ode to Joy 1: Sam discovers leaves. And one of Max on the same day, digging in the sand for the buried treasure he knows is there- how great a metaphor for prayer is that? It reminded me of a poem I wrote once when Max first discovered flowers-. My infant son squats. Taking in each delicate detail-. White petals and yellow stamens dancing. With hands raised, singing. In the stiff March wind. He pulls hard on a fragile stem,. An innocent cruelty,. Curling like a whispered. Amasse...

The Suburban Subversive: April 2007
http://suburbansubversive.blogspot.com/2007_04_01_archive.html
Sunday, April 15, 2007. Through a Veil, Darkly. 3AM First time I've had a chance to write in a while. It's been a hell of a month- I mean that literally. Rich Mullins, a singer/songwriter who died too soon, has a song where he mentions that even though we all want to go to Heaven, to stand there and stare death in the face "takes some grace". For the past month, that's what I've been doing. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Through a Veil, Darkly. Brain, Child: the magazine for thinking mothers. 40something, d...

The Suburban Subversive: June 2007
http://suburbansubversive.blogspot.com/2007_06_01_archive.html
Friday, June 08, 2007. The Blogger Returns from the Dead! I'd apologize for not posting for oh, about a month and a half, but that seems to be how I start all my posts so let's just forget all the sniveling excuses, the mea culpas and all that, and move into something more interesting. The Robin Family Saga. We noticed 4 bright blue eggs in the nest- although we lost one to a blue jay who dropped it onto our back patio. Finally, after a couple of weeks, they left us. We are officially empty nesters.

The Suburban Subversive: January 2009
http://suburbansubversive.blogspot.com/2009_01_01_archive.html
Wednesday, January 28, 2009. Worry, worry,worry. Lately worry has been worrying me. Relentlessly. Like a pit bull with a t-bone. There's Rosie, who has worried me since the day she was born. You have expectations of a child when they're born, whether you want to or not. Especially of the same-sex child. I had visions of Rosie and I cuddled on the couch, doing girl things, an island of estrogen in a sea of testosterone. Worry, worry, worry. Jesus says in Matthew 6 (The Message):. What is required is a cha...

The Suburban Subversive: September 2008
http://suburbansubversive.blogspot.com/2008_09_01_archive.html
Monday, September 01, 2008. Not Drowning, But Waving. I can't believe I haven't posted in close to a year. It's because I keep getting pregnant. I get remarkably anti-social when pregnant, sort of a gestating, grunting wildebeest or something (now, how's. For a lovely image? And on that note. First, an update in the Saga of Gracie the Dog: we found her a good home with a nice family and a big fenced yard. This was a good thing, because I was. It's never really a welcome guest, is it? I remember when Samm...

The Suburban Subversive: The Problem of Gracie
http://suburbansubversive.blogspot.com/2007/11/problem-of-gracie.html
Thursday, November 08, 2007. The Problem of Gracie. Okay, I'm a little slow these days, but not stupid. I may be so caught up in the chaos of mommyness that I miss the thousands of nuances that proclaim God in the ordinary. But I am not so stupid or busy that I missed the blinking neon sign that is Gracie. I just don't know what I'm supposed to do with this nippy, barky, jumpy mess of a blinking neon sign. What is this woman talking about? Okay, here's the deal. Ah, grief, I should not treat you. I am NO...

The Suburban Subversive: October 2007

Monday, October 22, 2007. The Story of Grace. It's been quite a weekend. I learned how to make a. Lemon drop martini and found a little Grace. The story of the martini. You can find on my other blog, The Suburban Roadshow. The story of Grace is a little longer, and a little more spectacular, so let's get to that first. We drove to Rockmart, GA, described on its website as "located in the heart of the Coosa Valley area of Northwest Georgia". We went there because it's on the Silver Comet Trail. They shrug...
