Thanks for all your prayers and support. Martin's vision has been improving, but not as quickly as he'd like. Unlike last time, when we went for three weeks with the misdiagnosis of pink eye, we started treating this early enough that there were only a couple days when it was painful. It's just frustrating to him to not be at 100% when he's got so much going on. He's been working every morning

I saw Hancock Monday night, and I loved it. I was really excited to go see it, although I can't say why. The previews were very vague, but it looked good. I've been disappointed in the past when I go to movies with high expectations, and I try not to. But something about the clip of him lobbing that whale back into the ocean seemed so original that I had to see it. This movie was so very

Well, I've been busy, what with not working and all, and I have seriously neglected this blog. Here's what I've been up to: Our friends Amanda and Janelle came to visit for Memorial Day weekend. We had a lovely time and of course I took no photos. I've been meaning to post these pictures, however. I didn't take them, and she didn't do it here, but I couldn't pass up the opportunity to show

...Stuff Christians Like, you are missing out. Jon's post today was incredibly awesome, and as always, the comments to the post were even better. Check it out. I'm not going to cite any of it here, because you need to go to his website. Read one post and you'll be hooked. Bookmark SCL and read it daily. You'll always get a good laugh, but sometimes you'll get so much more.

To the old-ish guy sitting behind us at Olive Garden today: No one cares about your back injuries, including the guy sitting across from you pretending to care. Perhaps we all care in the larger, "I'm sorry that a fellow human being was in pain" kind of way, but we don't want to hear about every detail, including your daily exercise routine and the vibrating massager that you shouldn't use

When Shannon tells you you're shannoning, you know it's got to be true. Well, I have good reasons, people. On May 16, um, shall we say my "employment status" changed. You can call to get the full story. Anyway, Martin and I decided that I've been wanting to work from home for a long time, and we're taking this opportunity to make that a reality.

OK, I've mentioned this blog before, but today's post was so good I'm copying the whole thing over here for you to read. #212. Shrinking God. We make God small sometimes. We don't mean to. I mean in our heads we know He is big and massive. We know He created the Rockies and Switzerland and the manatee. We know His power and grace stretches across the fabric of history but we still find ways to

When I got home Friday night, Martin surprised me with a super-clean house. He hired some help (Alinea) and it was sparklin'! So great. Friday night we had dinner with friends that turned into a great game of Taboo. My team won! Woo-hoo! Saturday morning, inspired by my newly cleaned house, I did a lot of spring cleaning and about 8 loads of laundry. We also bought a new comforter for our bed

We haven't quite hit our summer stride yet, but it's been consistently in the high 80s to 90s for the past few weeks. I hear that we're looking to pass 100° next week. What's hilarious is that I'm sitting here in my office, wearing a light sweater over a tank top, with my space heater blasting. The other residents of the office are on a drastically different temperature setting than I am,

Am I the only one who... Can't seem to get those comment verifiers on the first try? You know, it's one of these: And those aren't even the hard ones with the letters all merged together with an overlaid grid! Uses Google to spell-check? I love the "Did you mean..." feature! Hates any embedded video that doesn't allow you to pause it until it's fully loaded? Nothing ruins a funny video more

"God always has Plan A for your life." Brad LarsonI have heard Brad say this 100 times, and I know he sincerely believes it because he has lived it. Last night I had a conversation with a dear friend. She's a single mom in her late 20's, and just found out she is one of 45 million Americans with an incurable but treatable STD. She's really sincere and growing in her relationship with God, but

Once again, it's month end and I'm listening to Pandora. (Terri, there's the link for you.) I am really starting to love John Mayer's music. So many times I hear a song, check to see who it is, and it's his. Like Slow Dancing in a Burning Room, In Repair and Gravity, (I still hate No Such Thing, Waiting on the World to Change and Say.) Has anyone heard the new Michael Bublé song? So good.

I listen to Pandora radio most of the day. I have about 12 stations, from Josh Groban to Yanni to Corinne Bailey Rae. As with most free web stuff, there are always ads on the left side of the page. They usually employ tons of graphics to try to get me interested in whatever they're advertising. And it never works. But today, I clicked an ad. This one: I can't exactly say why. It might

My nephew Parker just learned to ride his bike without training wheels. My dad posted some pictures of the big day, including a staged accident when Grandpa apparently tried to ride the bike and fell down. We haven't seen Parker since before we moved to AZ. He's getting so big... makes me sad to miss so much of his life. Anyway, this photo of my dad cracked me up, and I thought I'd share.

Last night someone wet the bed. We're 90% sure that someone was JT. We thought that getting another puppy would make our lives easier, and it definitely has improved JT's quality of life, but nothing has been easy. I thought, with JT being older and already housetrained, that she would just follow his example and it would be easy to integrate her into our household. Not so much. She's way
