We keep hearing about the need for universal healthcare… that everyone should have full coverage available from the government. At our expense. At first, it sounds like a good idea… but I think the real thing is not that the government should cover the huge and rising medical costs (using our tax money, so we…

A Quick Recounting…
The reason for the large gap in blogging for me has been our amazing schedule the past week. We are always busy, but I guess this past week has been a different busy. Like, not at a computer busy. (I don’t prefer that kind of busy…) 🙂 Here’s a quick recap: Starting last Thursday (well,…
Audience
We sang at a coffee house tonight. We have done that plenty of times before. But this night there was an audience, and there was not an audience. That in itself was not extremely out of the ordinary, but it gave me something to think about. At times tonight, I could sense that though the…
0-4
I am finally back in my (NEW!) office… so I can blog a bit. Have some thoughts roaming around in my head, but don’t have the time to flesh them out at the moment. We are trying to leave tomorrow for our 2 month tour of duty out west. Return home Dec 9. So, quickly……

It’s Done… Mostly
Wow. It’s 2:29am, and I am about to call it a night… What a day!!! My Dad and my grandparents came up to help finish the attic. They arrived yesterday and we worked ALL DAY today to put the finishing touches on it. (And, If you can believe it, we are STILL not done –…
The Unexpected
Just wanted to honor a friend tonight. Recently I offended a friend. My openness and forthrightness and opinion sharing can sometimes cross invisible boundaries without knowing it. Such is never my intention… the only boundaries I want to cross are comfort-zone borders which keep people from thinking or growing, or even keep us in negative…
Alex’s Day
Just a quick recap of some craziness last night… Yesterday being Alex’s birthday, we had lots of fun planned… and for our part, it went pretty well. He wanted a red cake, so that morning, I baked him a red velvet cake with vanilla icing topped with M & Ms! (his favorite!) Mom made him…
Debate #2
OK, I said this is not a political blog, and it is not. But at the moment, that is what we are watching, and perhaps you are as well. And, well… last night, I just lost some more respect for politics. Not as much for Cheney, though he did his share of tearing down the…
