Jupiter and Venus were brilliant in the night sky last night. The entire sky was blaze with pulsating stars, actually. My camera could not capture it, but it did manage to pick up the planets. So lovely! Psalm 19 The heavens declare the glory of God; And the firmament shows His handiwork. Day unto day [...]

Smith Wigglesworth, Smoking Teeth and Other Things
February 26, 2012
Smith Wigglesworth As an ardent admirer of Kathryn Kuhlman, I have heard of Smith Wigglesworth. He was a plumber in Wales, born in 1859. He was an evangelist who did AMAZING miracles of healing. I don’t know what you believe about God still doing miracles– all it takes is one or two times to logically [...]

This is a terrific video. My daughter found it a while back. This lady can preach it! Happy Wednesday, friends.
The Story of the Hallelujah Chorus
November 30, 2011
On Sunday during church, the bombastic strains of the Hallelujah Chorus from Handel’s Messiah kept running though my head. It’s such a glorious piece, one that makes me want to jump up and down with glee. So I downloaded the song as my newest ringtone for my phone and have been having fun whenever I [...]
Go 180
November 15, 2011
This movie (below), the 180movie, will make you think. It’s done by Ray Comfort, who runs Way of the Master. We love his TV show. In the beginning, it has some disturbing images of World War II. It’s stuff we’ve seen in high school, but it’s still disturbing. But it certainly makes the point. And [...]
Word for Wednesday: The Turning Point
November 8, 2011
I had a “George Bailey” moment last night. Remember that movie It’s a Wonderful Life? In the movie, the angel Clarence shows George what life would be like if George had never been born. I remember something Clarence said to George: “You’ve been given a great gift, George: A chance to see what the world [...]
Poke the Pope!
September 17, 2011
Is it sacrilegious to poke the Pope on Facebook? Is it sacrilegious that the Pope is ON Facebook?! The Catholic Pope, Joseph Ratzinger, is on Facebook. Surprisingly, he only has 9,397 friends. I thought he’d have a lot more. ….and looking a little closer… is that REALLY the REAL Pope’s Facebook page? It says “public [...]
Ten Reasons Why I Don’t Attend Ball Games
July 31, 2011
10 Reasons Why I Don’t Go to Ball Games 10. I was taken to too many games by my parents when I was a kid. 9. I suspect that I was sitting next to some hypocrites, because instead of paying attention to the game, they were talking to friends the whole time! 8. It seems [...]
Courageous, a Movie About Dads. YESSSS!!!!
July 6, 2011
It’s with incredible joy that I read this news report about another up and coming movie from the Sherwood Films dudes. If you have never seen “Facing the Giants” or “Fireproof,” GO SEE THEM. Good, good movies. The same folks are making a new movie, “Courageous.” My kids have been talking about it for a [...]
Friday Fragments: Feeling Peckish
June 24, 2011
Earlier this week, I added a bunch of new blogs to my feed reader. Many of these blogs were ones I’d been to erratically in the past. Reading blogs keeps my mind fresh, it gives me ideas for my own blogs and reminds me of stories and jokes to share. For the past year, I’ve [...]

I’m a married mom with 4 kids. We live in Upstate New York in an old 1855 house with our five pets (yes, five, *sigh*). Life is never dull, and exciting things just seem to always happen to me... why me... when I'm not running around the house fixing things, I do freelance writing and blogging. My work and opinions have appeared in Salon.com, USAToday, eHow.com, iMedia.com, the Associated Press and I've even been interviewed by TIME and The Wall Street Journal about blogging. Can you believe it?! Here is where I express my zany, creative, motherly side.
