A Sacred Assignment
Posted in Life on the Homefront, Suffering on October 4, 2008 | 2 Comments »
I’ve been commissioned by Our Lord for a very special assignment and believe me when I say it WON’T involve running! Typically, assignments such as this have an initial phase of about 9 months and then a lifetime after that. Sometimes, however, the assignment ends a bit sooner and a bit differently than [...]

Thank you to everyone who has offered prayers for our family. We lost my father-in-law on Monday, St. Patrick’s Day. That same day, my own husband was hospitalized for a small bowel obstruction.

“You are rich”, said the smiling, little Ukrainian lady to me as she admired my 4 runninggals and served out samples of seven layer dip today at Sam’s Club.
“No money, just children”, she continued.
As I walked away teary-eyes, I agreed with her. Yes, seven-layer-dip-lady, I AM rich. You have no idea how rich [...]

All I’ll add is DITTO!
Yes, I’m Still Here…

We’ve been caught up with living life lice around here. That’s not a typo. We really have been fighting a major lice infestation as much as I hate to admit it. I’d like to be able to tell you we got ourselves into this pesky predicament serving in a third world country [...]
