Dusty and Bailey attended tonight’s World Series game. I’m watching the sportscasters interview the coaches and team players following the game while I type this. My mind’s eye sees our boys slowly filing out of Coors Stadium, having watched their beloved Colorado Rockies lose the fourth game of the series—a sweep. At least they’re not [...]

My dear man went to Pennsylvania, and all I got was this lousy lip balm. Truth be told, he knew it was the perfect present to bring me, the lifelong lover of Good and Plenty. But on to bigger and better things—pictures of his adventure to see Rachel and John in Philadelphia. They’re happily settled [...]

I had a lot of fun going through old pictures to help tell the story of Real Estate Guide, the topic I chose to reveal about myself in a community-building assignment for team retreat.

My sister-in-law Margi and I meet for “coffee” every Tuesday night while our husbands are at brass rehearsal. We talk about lots of things, but one of my favorite topics of late is stuff. I’ve been on a deaccumulation kick for several years now and relish the freedom I feel whenever I release my attachments [...]

I wore my glasses while I cleaned the house today. I learned that ignorance was bliss. Does dirt really matter when I can’t see it?

The family just grew by one. Cassidy invited Jesus to live in her heart! Quinn and Dusty are intentional in teaching their kids about living a life for Christ. They make sure Cass understands the meaning of her new place in God’s family, which leads to questions like: “How can God live in more than [...]

Every year in October our pastoral team heads out to the beautiful Oregon coast for a retreat. My coworker, Denise, and I get to go too because we’ve somehow convinced the pastors that the team wouldn’t be complete without us. Okay, so that “convinced” part isn’t true; Quakers are especially good at not making “pastor” [...]
