do you see red or green?
When Sky came along, it was Roy’s turn to play stay-at-home parent. Every day, they spent time in anticipation of mommy coming home (which made me feel very special).

blessed with a comfy life
This has been a Monday unlike most Mondays–minimal emails to answer; the meeting that I expected to last an hour was done in five minutes; found things I was looking for in half the usual time; and fixed dinner in less than 20 minutes: Romano crusted chicken, angel hair pasta, french bread with a balsamic Read more

piggyback trips to the e.r.
My first week on the job, I was asked to identify outreach projects for the hospital–something that would not require extra personnel or funds from the operating budget.

the golden rule: setting a trend of gracious living

Chasing Elephants, by Brent Crowe (NavPress)
It took me a very long time to get through this book. Not because of any complexity in language or subject, but because some portions of it made me uncomfortable. And that’s a compliment to the book. I felt like I was back in Situational Ethics, my freshman year in college. I was forced to Read more

jar of stale bread
Keep a two-quart jar of it . . . so they can see the bread I fed you in the wilderness. Exodus 16:32 If you just got off a toast diet that you were on three times a day for 40 years, I’m guessing you wouldn’t want to see toast ever again. You might even Read more
