I have tried for the last few days to write something. I don’t know what to write. A 14 year old girl in our community was brutally murdered last week. I can’t stop thinking about her. I can’t stop thinking about her mom. I didn’t know her and I don’t know her mom but

Love and Marriage…Love and Marriage…
I figured I should write about marriage this week for two reasons. It’s my wedding anniversary this weekend. In Bible study this week, we talked about when God created man and woman and how they were meant to fit together like a puzzle. (Those are my words but it’s what I felt when I read

Choosing “Reality”
Okay, so the other day, I’m watching “The Real Housewives of New Jersey”. My mom is in the room and so is my daughter. (I’m sure you know where this is going.) My mom watched about two minutes and then loudly asks, “Susan, what do you like about this?” It took me a few minutes

History
My son asked me to take him to the Field Museum to see the 9/11 exhibit. This is an interesting request from a 3rd grader. I told him it will be sad. He said, “I know Mom but I love to learn about history”. That’s where we are now. 9/11 is “history”. I can’t believe

If you are successful, you will win some unfaithful friends and some genuine enemies. Succeed anyway. If you are honest and sincere people may deceive you. Be honest and

“Watch me!”
We have been at the pool a lot lately. My son loves to go off the diving boards. He spends hours alternating between the low dive and the high dive. Each time he gets on the board, he looks over to me and gives me the thumbs up. When I give him the thumbs up,

Bieber Fever
OMG! I have Bieber Fever! I saw the movie “Never Say Never” about Justin Bieber. It was A-w-e-s-o-m-e! And in 3D! Seriously, I feel 12 again. I was happy to see J.B. has talent. He is not just some pretty boy who fit the suit. (Like Greg Brady as Johnny Bravo) He plays the piano,

New Year’s Resolutions
Oh Boy! It’s almost the New Year. We can make a New Start. It’s time for New Year’s Resolutions! I always feel a little silly making New Year’s Resolutions. I plan to work out more. I plan to eat healthy foods. It seems cliché and kind of depressing to continually make the same New Year’s
