New Year’s Resolutions

I’m not making any, but I figured I should write some type of post to round out 2007. The closest thing I have to a 2008 Resolution is the plan to clean up and reorganise my home office space. As I look at my desk now I see: -a dusty lamp -a collection of cds [...]

A List For Modern Worship Leaders

We are not at church to worship YOU. No one cares how “transported” you are by the music. This is not a show starring you. No matter how musically talented you are, you are not the last word on theology and matters of faith You look like an idiot when you wear sandals to church.  [...]

Wherein I Explain My Hard Words To A Homeless Man

I wrote this post a couple of days ago and had decided not to publish it. But after a comment to another blogger where Kevin called a man evil for denying Kevin help, I decided I needed to clear a few things up on my end. —— I’ve been pretty baldly critical of Kevin Barbieux [...]

Wherein My Two Natures Conflict And I Tell Somebody Off Then Feel Bad About It

I guess the post title pretty much gives away the whole story, minus the details.   I’m loathe to repeat all of the details because they were disgusting enough the first time around. Last night we went to the Hermitage Vittles for dinner.   They have (what I’m told is) good meatloaf, and my poor husband [...]

God Is In The Details

I’ve been overdosing on Heartwarming Holiday Movies from the Hallmark Channel. In past years I’ve soaked in a few Lifetime movies, but I’ve decided that when it comes to Christmas Movies, Hallmark is Wendy’s and Lifetime is McDonald’s. Sure, they’re both the film equivalent of fast food, but one is a little bit more square [...]

I Am A Snob

I don’t care if it’s the Free Holiday Single Of The Week. There is no way I’m downloading Michael Bolton singing “Winter Wonderland.” Seriously, could anything be more awful?!  My least favourite Christmasish song ever, sung by one of my least favourite artists ever.

Ugh.

I’ve got a sick dog today.   Which of course means that I’m going to spend the day worrying about my poor kid and feeling helpless. I love parenting dogs.  I really do.  But they’re the hardest to deal with when they’re ill because they can’t tell you what’s going wrong or where they feel bad. [...]

The Ghost Of Christmas Present

This is the second entry in the “Things You Didn’t Know About Me” series which I’m doing because I was tagged by Ivy. The rules of the game are that I’m to tell you seven random or odd facts about myself which I have not already mentioned. I’m supposed to do it in one post, [...]

Oprah Can Kiss My Cracked Spine

I’m going on record. I loved Pillars Of The Earth BEFORE Her O-ness chose it as a Book Club selection. The first copy of POTE I ever read cost me 5 bucks in paperback. With inflation it should cost about, oh, $8.99 tops. But not only did Oprah choose this wonderful book for her bookclub, [...]

One Thing You Don’t Know About Me

We were doing Deep Thoughts this week on my blog, because that’s all that’s going on in my head. Well, that and rearranging my office space, but I’m sure you don’t want to hear about endless searches for London posters and the dull debate about whether I should rotate my desk by 90º or 180º. [...]
