Anticipated appreciation isn’t nearly as sweet as surprise appreciation. On Tuesday, Denise’s and my boss, Elizabeth, surprised us with lily plants, scones, and coffee drinks to demonstrate her appreciation for our work as “administrative professionals.” Today Josh, our youth pastor—who this week suffered a computer crash toward the end of his final paper for his [...]

I’m delighted to report I have some new Facebook friends! You’re so good to me. I promise not to beg again until I reach 999.
Maybe you will indulge me again. This time with one of those stories that show up in our e-mail at least daily. This one was new to me, so maybe [...]

Scott Nilson just invited me to be his Facebook friend. I knew I was getting close to 100 friends, so after I accepted his kind offer I checked my Facebook friend count. I now have 99 friends!
I’m having a blast with Facebook, and I do only minimal things with it—mostly play Scrabulous and read [...]

I just snapped this picture of my dear man getting ready to grill some meat for supper.
Notice how the bright sun overexposed his face? Notice how squinty-eyed he is? Could you guess that just five minutes—FIVE minutes—before I took this picture we stood on the porch watching pea-sized hail fall from the heavens? That in [...]

This photo, discovered on friend Craig’s blog, captured my interest. I can’t stop looking at it. So here’s my plan: post it on this blog so I can look at it any time I want for as long as I want.
You’re hooked too, aren’t you? Maybe you can help me figure out what intrigues [...]

I love being human and I prove my humanity every day of my life. Today I became acutely aware once again that I am indeed human. I have spent the entire week printing, collating, punching, and binding the 2008 church directory. Yes, I know, it is March and I’m finally getting around to doing the [...]

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?

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, [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]
