Embracing the holiday "don'ts"
Two Sundays ago, the pastor wrapped up his sermon by reading a list he pulled from some blog about the Holiday Don'ts (and Do's). I can't do it justice or find it on the first page of a Google search ;-) but it was basically things like ( Read more... ) -
The play's the thing
I made a new year's resolution to write a blog post weekly on a new blog on WordPress.
Turns out I strongly dislike WordPress.
And I don't really care for blogger-style writing, either. I took a training by Lysa TerKeurst last fall which taught about blogging, brand-building, yadda, yadda. But you know what? There are so many bloggers out there ( Read more... ) -

Whirlwind! and a diagnosis
It's been a busy time! Last week all the teachers at my independent study school were given a vacation week, and I enjoy going to work there so much that I signed up for the "skeleton crew."
