In keeping with the privacy of our students, I did not use any photos from the Fire Safety Even; This photo taken near our home Wriggly children snake across fire hoses woven through the grass. Goggles mimic darkness. Thick smoke engulfs a burning building. Sight removed, they crawl end to end along the hose. An imitation of blindness, they have only hands to feel their way. Which one would win the race? In my heart, I knew. My … Continue reading →
The Fam–a few years ago “The wise woman builds her house, but with her own hands the foolish one tears hers down.” Proverbs 14:1 NIV It’s hard work to build a home. The love, the nurturing, the every morning breakfast, the Mom taxi, attending every recital or sporting event, mundane laundry, helping with homework, long hugs to heal the hurts inside, bedtime stories, prayers at night, twirling round the living room dance floor to lullaby music, trips to the … Continue reading →

Fourteen different flavors. Caramel, Cheddar, Nacho, Sour Cream & Onion, White Chocolate, Dark Chocolate, Rocky Road, Cinnamon Bun to name a few.

(NOTE: I’m a little embarrassed to say that I just noticed the title I chose for this post is the same title as Donna Clarke Goodrich’s new book. She was one of the authors at the conference. I guess a lot really stuck with me from that conference. My humble apologies to Donna.) To write is to reveal oneself to the world.
