For instance, the “clueless male” stereotype.
Last night, Sean told the boys that he would try to take them swimming at the YMCA today. For the record, we have never done this. Sean told them they would go “if he could work it out.”
I should have been concerned right then.
This morning, N~ was talking again about [...]

Gordon B Hinckley: June 23, 1910-January 27, 2008
Last night, as I sat contemplating my own faith, a man who inspired faith in literally millions of people passed away. Gordon B Hinckley had served as the Prophet and President of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints since March 12, 1995. I was a Senior in high school at the time he [...]

What is Faith?
Faith as a grain of mustard seed. Faith can move mountains. Faith in every footstep. I walk by faith. Be faithful to those you love. Old faithful. Trial of faith. Go on faith. Keep the faith. ‘Cause I gotta have faith, faith, faith-ah.
What is faith?
faith (fth) NOUN:
Confident belief in the truth, value, or [...]

Finding Faith
I have mentioned on several occasions before that I work with the twelve to eighteen-year-old girls at my church. I don’t think that I have ever really gone into the role that I play with them. Officially, I am the Personal Progress leader. To anyone who is not LDS (Mormon), that probably doesn’t mean a [...]

Twice as Effective?
OK, so here is my question of the day:
If you drink pepper juice (which burns your ears), then cough so hard that it comes back up (and really burns your nose), are you doubling the effectiveness?
Why won’t this hacking just go away???
On a brighter note, depending on which “due date” you want to go [...]

My Ears are Burning
No, it’s not because I am so neurotic that I think that you have all been talking about me. Speculating where I have been for the past two weeks. Wondering if maybe, just maybe, I’d had a baby. The answer to that, by the way, is “no.” The baby is still where he belongs, although [...]

Mother Nature is Such a Tease
I’m confused–isn’t it January? The past two days here have seen me wearing short sleeves. Both days we have gotten into the mid- to high-60’s. Even with today’s rain, I have been in heaven. I’ve had windows open with fresh air blowing through. The doggy door has been serving its full function. Life has been [...]

The Princess and the Pea Brain
So I think that I have mentioned once or twice now that I get some significant back issues when I’m pregnant. As a result, I have not slept in my own bed for months. I actually tried to a couple of months back and was in so much pain after an hour or so that [...]

Sunbeams and Son’s Names
Today was W’s first day as a true “big boy” at church. He got to move up from the nursery to the children’s primary. He is in the age group referred to as “Sunbeams.” He has been looking forward to this day for awhile, but he almost missed it. N~ has been sick (again) for [...]

How Many Things Can I Cover in One Post?
Over the past week, I have had several smallish things that I keep meaning to blog on, but haven’t gotten around to. So, think of this post as end-of-the-week leftovers. Lots of bits and pieces, not all of which relate, some in larger portions than others.
Adoption Stuff
First, I’m really excited to say that my sister [...]
