In light of the date on the calendar, I’m doing something a little different. I may not have a monumental prank to pull on you, but I can’t let April Fools Day pass without fooling around a little…it’s just who I am. Let’s start here. Why are these called Redbuds? Does this look red to […]
Good Good Friday I would like to wish you all a good Good Friday, and a very blessed Easter. I pray you all return to the cross, remembering the sacrifice that was made there so we can all be free. Return to the Cross But also remember, the cross points us outward, to spread the love […]
Travel Journal For some reason, I’m thinking a lot about travel. Maybe it’s because my girls are roaring around the world this summer with the Aunties, or it could even be just because it’s March now, and March means the onset of Spring. Whatever the reason, travel is on the brain. Let’s hit the road […]

Lately I’ve been speaking my own forbidden language: Whinese! I don’t speak “Whinese”. I’ve told my children this since they were big enough to whine, and they know that whining is absolutely not the way to get what they want with me. I have always been adamant about it, and they have learned how ineffective […]
Prepare for my first “political” post. Hopefully it will be my last, but no promises. I went to sleep worried about something, and clearly I did not solve the problem in my dreams, because it’s still a problem this morning. My problem is: I can’t help but think our government is failing our children. What happened […]
Good Friday mornin’, Y’all. I’m gon’ Sound Off about Southern English! (Imagine that phrase spoken in true Dolly Parton fashion. Y’all know Dolly, don’tcha?)
