Therapy is like an unwelcome friend that barges into your house at the most inconvenient times... and camps out on your couch. You love your friend, but really? Right now? Just when you wanted to settle in with book 5 of Harry Potter and get lost for a while. I've had lots of counseling... loads. …
Summer is a wasteland. A floating myriad of lost hours and extra daylight. We make a point of doing nothing on purpose around my house in the summer, just to balance out all the "have to's" of the school season. It is the way I do it, which doesn't say much for the way it …
i find myself walking through walmart, through the church yard, through the hallway in my house, or in my car, singing this song. it just comes up out of me so I thought I'd share... because the world needs more songs we can't help but sing. i remember playing it for elijah for the first …

So trick or treating it was. this amount of candy is just uncalled for. we walked, and walked, and walked... the bottom of chloe (the sugar plum fairy)'s bag busted out it was so full. that and she was dragging it on the ground there at the end. arden (Luigi) only ran screaming from one …
every Sunday i notice how hard it is to breathe. my voice is starting to falter b/c i can't get enough air to support it. and i have THREE more months.. and a couple weeks. i gotta admit, i'm a little worried about this fact. we're trying to figure out what this little guy's name …
Today i'm headed to charlotte for my long day at citychurch and my second counseling session at gracelife... well second after a couple of long stretches in the past few years. i'm not scared like i was before i started. i feel - open? is that the best way to describe it? i've been having …
