Plug your ears before opening...
I've been trying to get more serious about music lately so I'm trying to get a few songs recorded and uploaded. Unfortunately I only have a built-in laptop mic, free editing software, and I can't actually play any kind of accompaniment, so it's a little weak. If you're not afraid to blow your eardrums I think the link below should play the latest ( Read more... ) -
8 things I love about being snowed in...
I'm snowed in. I don't know what you picture when you think "snowed in", but since I can't actually shovel snow, and since I have a front-wheel drive car and a gravel driveway, for me it means "hm, if I back out into that my car is probably gonna get stuck". Right now it means about 10", give or take.
Most people don't seem to like this, but most ( Read more... ) -
Will you join me in giving $5 on the 5th?
I've been kicking this idea around for a few months now and decided last week it was time to do it, so please hear me out and see if you won't join me.
If you're like me, money's tighter now than ever, and it's harder and harder to give to people/charities like you used to. I do not have much money that I can call "disposable income". But like ( Read more... ) -
On a Day Like This, Oh Lord, Help Me!
(This is going to be realllly long. It was just that kind of day.)
I started off my lovely day by not going to sleep. I had it planned so I could get about 4 hours of sleep before I had to head to Cincinnati to meet a friend and then go to 2 different neurological test appointments. My ability to do math once I pass the "too tired" stage is ( Read more... ) -
Tam takes a trip to the doctor...
So, I'm packing for a trip to my neurologist tomorrow to have a couple of tests (read: a torture session followed by an MRI) to see if the neurologist can find the entrapment in my arm so we can hopefully do the surgery and I can stop taking these massive doses of NSAIDs (and hopefully I can regain more regular use of my arm, and lose a lot of pain ( Read more... ) -
I am not a sinner saved by grace
I am not a sinner saved by grace.
And neither are you.
Or rather, you shouldn't be.
Either you're a sinner, or your a new creature in Christ, you don't get to be both.
Christ did not save me so that I could go back and wallow in a pit of despair, saying "woe is me" while I continue to live in the shackles of sin that He died to break me out of!

When Worlds Collide
I've been debating about making this post for the past few weeks. So that I don't have to repeat a bunch of stuff, please read this rather short posts here and here before continuing.
What I've been debating about for the past couple of weeks is whether or not to write a post for "Autistics Speaking Day".
I'm actually still debating right now, as ( Read more... ) -
Falling Beauty
As I was coming home tonight my thoughts turned to how beautiful my drives have been for the past few days.
I'm not a fan of autumn. Fall in Ohio is just the signal for me that frigid temperatures and long months stuck inside are on their way, and I'm reminded once again of why I swore when I left I'd never come back here to live unless I had no ( Read more... ) -
Denying the power?
So I was looking up this verse, "Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof" because I wanted to make a post about it. I was surprised to find (though I've read the New Testament I don't know how many times) that the context was not what I remembered it to be.
If you're like me, you've probably heard people preach on this passage ( Read more... ) -
Venting a little frustration...
Lately I just want to scream, as I watch my competitors and friends continue to prosper, selling products for kids that aren't properly tested/documented (under the new CPSIA laws), or items with someone else's trademarked or copy-written images and logos, while my business continues to suffer as I fight to do things legally ( Read more... )
