Be Careful Little Eyes…

“Any amount of theology can now be smuggled into people’s minds under the cover of fiction without their knowing it.”
― C.S. Lewis
And I would add “Whether that fiction be in print or on a screen of any kind; still or moving, flat or 3D, every person is responsible for what they allow into their hearts and minds and parents responsible for what they allow into their children’s hearts and minds through the windows to the soul known as the eyes.”

Water ya gonna do about it? Yeah…it really matters…

Feb 16, 2012 by

Do you drink water? I know that sounds silly, but it’s an honest question. Most Americans are walking around tired and hungry when they really just need some good ole’ H2O. Even if you “drink” all day long, you may be suffering from dehydration—honestly–sugary drinks, energy drinks, coffee, tea, etc.—those don’t really count and often, in fact, cause more harm than good. Now I am NOT saying give up your coffee and tea—the key is moderation and/or making sure you get the water you need in addition to your fav. Don’t make me talk about “diet” drinks containing artificial sweeteners—well, OK, we’ll talk about them, but not today–that’s another post unto itself ☺

Grrrr…I dontwanna…whose burden is it anyway?

Jan 10, 2012 by

I started to write a Facebook status this morning, but it just kept getting bigger—and since they apparently no longer limit the number of characters on a status, this was a problem. I’m grateful for FB’s limiting us all those years as I am convinced it improved my writing skills and put a lid on my tendency to be…well…”wordy” ☺. Then I remembered a dear friend of mine who kept reminding me that my FB statuses were often really blog posts. This same dear friend (cough…Maggie Hogan) was the driving force that finally got me off my duff and into blogging. Thanks Maggie (I think ☺

And so it begins…oh wait…it began already!

Jan 3, 2012 by

Four doors. Four passengers. I watched the small black Kia back out of my driveway this New Year’s day. I held up my cell phone, putting my thumb and pinky to my ear as I mouthed, “Call me when you get there!” As the car turned out of our cul-de-sac, waving hands and thrown kisses disappeared and my heart dropped just a bit. Four of my six daughters were in that car. On a 150 mile journey to see their oldest sister, married with 2 girls of her own and living in another state. Another state that required a drive on treacherously busy highways, over the Bay Bridge and then the backroads of Delaware. I wasn’t sure which part worried me the most. At the wheel, my 19 year old, Cassidy, served as chauffeur to her sisters, Sheila, 17, 14 year old Shannon and Star, 10, the youngest of our clan.

Smile for a While

Smile for a While

by Greg Spann

(Reprint from Feb/Mar ’95 issue of Today’s Family Matters)

Most of us take life too seriously–we need to laugh more! Proverbs 17:22 tells us that “A merry heart does good, like medicine, But a broken spirit dries the bones.” NKJ What a truth! The Lord placed in us a stress relief valve and it’s called laughter! This column is dedicated to looking at the humorous aspects of everyday life. You’re never defeated if you can laugh at whatever you’re facing.
