lookit!
We might be going somewhere! Posing passports for an Internet posting reminded me a little of what a girl does with her hands and arms when she’s caught with a little more skin showing than she intended. You’ll let me know if you think more “skin” is showing than is wise, won’t you?

A while ago I posted Quinn’s flyer that described her diapers and formula project for the babies of Juarez. She is continually humbled and encouraged by the enthusiastic involvement of many who have joined the effort. When I was in Denver two weekends ago, I got to experience this first hand. I arrived just after […]

links - part six
We’re overdue for some links. I hope you like this set:
• Compared to my coworker Denise, I’m Hard-hearted Hannah. Yet listening to this, I felt a lump forming in my throat. Maybe there’s hope for me? Nah…
• I couldn’t do this to save my life.
• Get out your credit card. If you have a cat, […]

it
Mike and Janelle tagged me with a meme! The rules:
Pick up the nearest book of 123 pages or more. No cheating!
Find page 123
Find the first 5 sentences
Post the next 3 sentences
Tag 5 people
This might be one of those times I’d choose to break a rule (the one about no cheating) but I won’t. The book […]

experiment
I just came home from worship (first of three morning services). I usually sit down in the front because Mauri can join me there after he’s finished with his part of the service. This morning I chose the less-populated balcony, mainly because I didn’t want to share any lingering contagion I might have carried with […]

my turn
Four and a half years ago, when I interviewed for my job at NFC, I bragged to my soon-to-be boss that I never get sick. And—accident recovery aside—I haven’t missed a day of work for sickness…until last Wednesday. I’ve enjoyed a little too much telling people my theory that my monthly allergy shots somehow serve […]

love story
Our long-time friend Norma Collins asked me to write Mauri’s and my love story for the February issue of a Youth for Christ newsletter. Here it is:
Love stories are like snowflakes—plentiful yet unique. Mauri and I enjoy telling our unique love story because it clearly illustrates God’s faithfulness to us through good times and hard […]

comfort
“My mom says you can fix anything.” Cassidy gets right to the point on the topic of her worn and torn nite-nites. This is no small matter.
Today my friend Mike submitted an assigned essay for our church newsletter on the subject of comfort zones. He encourages us to find ways to stretch ours, but […]

just wondering
When you attend church with a big crowd and sit near the front, it takes a long time to file out at the end of the service. I probably should have been pondering what the preaching pastor at Cherry Hills Community Church spoke about, and I really did listen, but instead I noticed how many […]

guess where I am
The parents of my grandkids sent me another plane ticket so here I am! Even though I come fairly often, I’m still treated like an honored guest when I arrive. Taylor came over right after work to eat some pizza and hang out with his beloved family. I asked him to pose this picture with […]
