One of the cool parts of living in the same town and attending the same church for more than 17 years is I get to watch kids grow up. In the short span between 2005 and 2011, when the children of NFC have put on “The Best Christmas Pageant Ever,” two kids in particular grew [...]

Mauri’s been out at the coast this month as part of the leadership for Sabbath by the Sea. That leaves me at home, keeping the dog alive. She’s matured a lot and doesn’t get into mischief when I’m at work like she used to. I live one block from where I work, which makes my [...]

I had me some fun today. So of course you have to hear about it. It all started a couple of weeks ago when I started making some Christmas presents for my young friends Liv and Sam. I pilfered pictures of them from their mom’s Facebook albums and printed them on 11 x 17 paper. [...]

My only hint as to who might have sent me this “gift” was the name on the front. My sister is the only person left on earth who calls me Sharon (I’ve been [...]

Some things are just too cool to keep to myself. So here you go! Getting organized Last week Wonder Woman Bethany (not the Bethany in my previous post, though she’s a wonder woman too) and a host of volunteers threw a garage sale on one of Phoenix’s worst weather days. Earlier she had e-mailed me [...]

I’m not sure what God was thinking when he picked out my characteristics. He put together an introvert who loves people. I fight with myself all the time. The weekly newsletter I produce as part of my job at the church features an interview with an individual or couple or family one issue out of [...]

When the worship ensemble is given a call time for Sunday morning, someone often asks the leading question: What should we wear? There’s only one right answer to that question: the pink boas. Ha! Ha! We all laugh every time. This morning we showed up a little ahead of our call time to don our [...]
