We are waiting for the munchkins to fall asleep, so we can set out the Christmas gifts beneath the tree. We've been looking through some photos from last thanksgiving, and last Christmas, and taking stock of life in general. Last year, at Thanksgiving, this was me: My little bald head. Oh, my. On Christmas morning, … Continue reading What a Difference a Year Makes…

Ponytail
Just in time for Christmas, my hair is (barely) long enough to pull back into a ponytail. Why this should make me ecstatic, I have no idea. 🙂 Here it is--- Thought I would share the silliness with you all. Blessings, as always...

CAS Friday Philosophy on a Saturday…
Honestly, I was thinking about all of this yesterday. The only difficulty was that, as I was thinking, I was also DOING about a thousand things. Today's/yesterday's philosophies are going to be all about Love: not only because I believe Love is the most transformative and redemptive quality we have as people, but also because … Continue reading CAS Friday Philosophy on a Saturday…

Run of the Mill Running Around
It's a normal Saturday around here: this means hitting the ground running. So often our Saturdays are even busier than every other day.

My Dad posted a quote by CS Lewis, to which I replied with my favorite quote by the same. Here, however, I am sharing a quote I … Continue reading CAS Friday Philosophy (Encore…)
