Going For It!
This past weekend was full of reunions. The CU Buffs Football program had their annual fund-raising event that drew former players from previous eras and several states across the nation. I saw guys that I hadn’t seen in years. It was very cool. But as much as I enjoyed seeing our old friends, I most […]
Afflicted
I was reading the ninth chapter of Mark today and just wanted to share my random thoughts about one of the stories in that chapter. Again, they will be random, disjointed and clumsy, but still . . .
Mark 9:14-26
14When they came to the other disciples, they saw a large crowd around them and the teachers […]
Potato Salad and Other Life Lessons
Yesterday, being Father’s Day and all, I decided that I’d at least help make dinner. It was nothing fancy; burgers, potato salad and a green salad . . . nothing fancy (except the burgers for which Marc roasted some poblano peppers and covered them with provolone cheese on top of the patties while they were […]
Picture This
Another Audrey Post:
Yesterday we had quite a setback on this road to healing, or at least I did - I think. Because of a misunderstanding too broad to capture here, the hospital did not, in fact, take a picture of baby Audrey like we thought they would. So, no picture. This matters […]
It Would Take All Day
This morning while I worked out at the gym I listened to Kirk Franklin’s The Fight of My Life. As his song It Would Take All Day drifted in my ears, I found myself in literal tears on the eliptical, particularly when I noticed that I was witnessing a real life demonstration of some of […]
I Remember
Yesterday I had lunch with some of my brothers in ministry and had the opportunity to share my testimony, which by all accounts, were it not for the real grace of God, is little more than a sordid tale of love, betrayal, depression, and confusion. I shared an abbreviated version of all that we […]
The View From Down Here
Still processing Audrey’s passing:
Now that my life’s doings have quieted down a bit since Audrey died and has resumed some new sense of normal, I’ve been trying to pay attention to me and God and where we are with one another . . . I find myself in new, unfamiliar territory as the result.
The past […]
Venturing through the Valley
I got up earlier than usual this morning. In part because I went to bed earlier than usual and felt satisfied at the amount of sleep I got last night; in part because Amos, my mom-in-love’s dog is staying with us . . . again . . . and he’s an early riser because […]
Can Somebody Pray?
For a couple of days now, I’ve noticed that my forehead is tender to the touch. When I run my fingers across it, it’s sore, sensitive and hurts . . . like the way your skin feels before you get the flu, kind of achy. Curious. It wasn’t until yesterday that […]
Let There Be Light
Last night, my hubby and I had the house to ourselves so we watched a movie . . . and shed a few tears. Even having both read the book, we were greatly moved by The Kite Runner.
Wiped out and with a headache, I looked at him and said, “there is beauty in […]
