The Naked Truth

January 11, 2010

Between the snow days and the school delays last week, it was a very long week. There were lots of opportunities to NOT DO stuff and lots of stuff I DID NOT do! Like yesterday for instance, it definitely wasn’t me who tripped over the hem in my pants making a spectacle, (in the bleachers at a community basketball [...]

Do I [Really] Surrender All?

January 8, 2010

All to Jesus I surrender; All to Him I freely give; I will ever love and trust Him, In His presence daily live. I surrender all, I surrender all; All to Thee, my blessed Savior, I surrender all. As I sang along with Selah in my van yesterday, (without kids, mind you!) I found myself singing [...]

Seriously, From Inmates To Playdates

January 8, 2010

Ten years ago, I walked the halls of South Central Regional Jail counseling inmates about their behavior and incarceration. Today, I walk down our hallway here at the McResidence counseling two little boys about their behavior and punishment. — Ten years ago, the only cell I inspected was a twelve by twelve concrete cell. Today, [...]

You Capture – Favorite Pictures

January 7, 2010

2009 was a tough year for me. Ten days into the year, a good friend of mine lost his life in a head-on collision. Three weeks later, the McFamily embarked on a six-month journey that would test my emotional stability limits. So yeah, it started out rough. In fact, just thinking about it is making [...]

Thursday Thirteen – iTunes Picks

January 7, 2010

One of the things I received in my Christmas stocking this year was an iTunes gift card. I was pretty excited because I keep a running list (ahem!) on my iPhone of songs I want to get from iTunes. Unfortunately for me, I forgot that I had the list and went on iTunes all willy nilly looking [...]

Today’s WFMW is a themed edition. That means it’s my turn to ask a question and your turn to share a tip that works for you. I’m hoping for lots of good advice! For the better part of 22 years, I have been on the hunt for a really good hair spray. I really don’t have a lot [...]

Lots Of Lessons

January 5, 2010

It’s been two weeks since I’ve done a “What I Learned This Week” post. That means, that for the past two weeks, I’ve been jotting down notes and trying to remember all the things I’ve learned. Hopefully something I’ve learned, will be a help to one (or all eight of you!). 1.

Embarassing Moments

January 3, 2010

I’ve been keeping a running tally of things I DEFINITELY DID NOT DO THIS WEEK. Because y’all, there are so many it was hard to keep track. First, while hosting (along with McDaddy, of course) an impromptu get-together at our house after church last Sunday night it most definitely wasn’t me who noticed this (a [...]

Who Am I?

January 3, 2010

But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people belonging to God, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light.   1 Peter 2:9  Who am I? That the Lord of all the Earth Would care to know my name, Would [...]
