http://jennysuegotmarried.blogspot.com/2015/03/ccmrs-deadly-disease.html
Jenny Sue Got Married". I'm soooo NOT the Domestic Goddess I thought I'd be. Wednesday, March 25, 2015. CCMRS, A Deadly Disease. Three of my four children were born with a rare disease. It's heartbreaking, and it's often terrifying for the parents of afflicted children. I have never told anyone before, because this disorder is little known and not very well understood. Most professionals who hear of it for the first time refuse to believe that it's a real. What is this horrific sickness? Another very com...

Running In the Yard: The Summer of Growing-Up II; or, Paint It Black
http://runningintheyard.blogspot.com/2009/08/summer-of-growing-up-ii-or-paint-it.html
Running In the Yard. La-la, how the life goes on. . . Friday, August 21, 2009. The Summer of Growing-Up II; or, Paint It Black. In my previous post. Growing up Up North, I really did have a fairly 'sheltered' upbringing. Life was pleasant, and for me at least, pretty easy, adoptions. The Cross and the Switchblade. Fortunately (or at least, so it seemed to me at the time), I'd recently read. The Cross and the Switchblade. And so, inspired by David Wilkerson's. As I said, that summer was just crammed full ...

Running In the Yard: Blast From the Obits
http://runningintheyard.blogspot.com/2009/12/blast-from-obits.html
Running In the Yard. La-la, how the life goes on. . . Monday, December 7, 2009. Blast From the Obits. Whenever I see someone with whom I went to school in the obits, it always piques my curiosity a bit - what kind of life did they have? Did they die of a sudden, catastrophic illness or accident? Or did too much hard living catch up with them (I've known of a few of those, too)? What about their families - their spouses and children? Sometimes, I remember seeing them at a class reunion; sometimes not.

Running In the Yard. La-la, how the life goes on. . . Wednesday, November 25, 2009. An Open Letter to My Children. In the three-and-a-half years I have (intermittently) been posting to this blog, I have taken many, many opportunities to express my gratitude to and for my beloved wife. And the life we have together. And I have told quite a few stories. From the lives of our kids – some happy, some sad, some bittersweet. But I have not often expressed my gratitude for them. . . My beloved children,. I am g...

Taking A Step | Reality & Redemption
https://diggerjones.wordpress.com/2013/05/11/taking-a-step
A struggle for freedom. 8220;It’s a dangerous business, Frodo, going out of your door,” he used to say. “You step into the Road, and if you don’t keep your feet, there is no knowing where you might be swept off to. All journeys begin with a first step of one sort or another. And tonight, we took one, Arwyn and I. At least this is how the therapist put it; taking a significant step. I stated that I really could not see Arwyn and I sharing space, much less a bed together. So how did I feel about that?

Jenny Sue Got Married". I'm soooo NOT the Domestic Goddess I thought I'd be. Sunday, May 12, 2013. Why I Wanted to Cancel Mother's Day. I wrote this letter to my children this morning:. When I thought about Mother's Day, I thought about you giving me cards that said, “You're the best Mom in the world,” and it made me regret all the ways that I have been so much less than the “best” Mom in the world. So, I thought I didn't really deserve Mother's Day. But none of us deserves. So, on Mother's Day, instead ...
