I love the TV show, “Bethanny Ever After”. Really…no joke, I love it, set the DVR for it each week, love her! I know you are thinking, “Wow, Sue watches a lot of reality tv.” I do it for you. It’s research. I watch. I report. I try to make sense of the current state

Check out the discussion on BlogHer at http://http://www.blogher.com/bookclub/now-reading-where-she-went The book in review is Where She Went by Gayle Forman. When I signed up to review it, I did not know it was a sequel to a book called, If I Stay. I was kind of bummed at first

Shaking My Can on the Corner
I know, it doesn’t sound pretty. What I mean is that I was “shaking a can” for ALS (Lou Gehrig’s disease) on the corner this morning. It was amazing. I saw a lot of volunteers standing in the rain to help! I witnessed generosity in spades. There were lots of people saying, “God Bless!” which

If you were a tree, what kind of a tree would you be?
“It’s my birthday and I’ll _______ if I want to” See the blank? I get to fill it today. I know the song says “cry” but I don’t feel like crying. With all the caffeine I had this morning, I feel like flying. Actually, that would be awesome…except I’m a scaredy cat. My husband went

The Gift of Presence
It’s my mom’s birthday today. Happy Birthday Mom! Love you! It’s mine next week. I don’t tell you this so you will shower me with presents or birthday wishes (although that would be lovely). I tell you this because it has me thinking. People say, “What do you want for your birthday?” This is a

I have been told I have “thought islands”. My mind wanders. When it comes to faith, my mind wanders too. Sometimes it wanders to The Bible and books and blogs. Sometimes to conversations I have with people about faith. Sometimes to examples of people I know who have shown great faith in their lives. Sometimes
