If someone mocks you for your faith or for your "weak" nature, when you actually pray for self-control, peace, and the right response, remember Isaiah 66:5-6. 5Hear the word of the Lord, You who are concerned about His word! Your kinsmen who hate you, Who spurn you because of ...
Me. Circa 2000 in Austin, Texas. Pre-CJ. Water damage destroyed my other pics. Normally, I don't make Resolutions. I feel like it sets the tone for failure early on in the year. Big goals, overwhelm, life happens, and poof. It's all gone down the toilet causing guilt and the ...
A dolphin knew it was in trouble and swam over to a diver for help. The Daily Mail says, "Mr. Laros was leading a group of snorkelers for a manta ray dive experience off the Big Island's Kona International Airport when the dolphin squealed out." The saga was caught on video. *sniff* ...
Getting sick a couple of weeks ago and having my tech kiboshed in an electrical fritz were blessings in guise. I had time to think. Time away from all the distractions of email, SMS, chat, website updates, and ... e-work in general. It made it easier to focus on my on-going quest ...
As usual, my son, mom, and I loved the latest Living the RV Dream podcast episode but I won't lie. I am an app addict, I love any excuse to download and test apps, check out new websites, and research some techy thing or other. LOL This episode, titled "New GPS App, Podcast ...
This morning, we started preparing for an anticipated storm with winds up to 60 miles an hour and hail. By the time we got home, the reports were calling for winds of up to 70 miles per hour, possible hail, and more of a tornado threat. Okay so it's not the greatest reason to ...
Running in to town for medical assistance (darn sickness!) without eating breakfast was NOT on today's agenda. Until I found out it's not just rain and cold we're expecting. Hail and friggin' freezing temps (for us) is anticipated by 6pm tonight! CJ and I abandoned our 'wait the ...

Authentic TexMex is a strange and not very specific description. After all, El Paso TexMex can be quite different from Hidalgo TexMex and what the heck is TexMex anyway? My best guess is that it's a Texan/Mexican hybrid of deliciousness that qualifies as neither authentic Texan ...

So we're still sick. Worse, if I'm honest. You know those people who feel better and so they start doing stuff before they are totally well and then they get sick again - only a bit worse? Yeah. That's us. Today, the weather is nice. Cool but sunny, low wind. Sooo tempting. We just HAD to go out and adventure. Even if it was just a short walk, unraveling the mystery of the vanishing cow, before my dying phone and an ...
Eek. This was supposed to post the day after Christmas but my flu-hazed mind saved it as a Draft instead. ~ P ....... Woops. Had an unintended humbug holiday because I forgot to order the gifts! See, my household hasn't celebrated Christmas for a few years now. Between the death of the matriarch, the finance thing after the layoff, realizing it probably isn't really the Savior's birthday, and hearing Jingle Bells in ...
Thursday, while CJ and I prepared for my Mom's surprise birthday dinner, we found out that a relative lost one of his twin girls. A little bun, just 3 months in the womb. Friday was another cousin's birthday (he worked) and Mom's dinner. Although today is actually her birthday, ...
