I know this day is not always an easy one for people. Some have lost their mothers. Others have lost their children. Some have strained parent child relationships. So, celebrating can also be strained or down right painful. My heart goes out to all who fall into any of those categories. May this Mother’s Day … More I Have Five Children
To the left you will see an image that greeted me on FB this morning. I understand the intent behind posting an image like this is to encourage others to trust God, to know Jesus is with them. But, the implication that He literally won’t allow them to drown in their sorrow, depression, fear, etc. is … More Jump in the Water
My quota for poor food choices had reached its max as evidenced by my darker color urine as of late. I know, gross. But the truth is we need methods for monitoring what our bodies are doing.

I hadn’t really wrestled with any of those question until my gallbladder decided it was time for me to get up close and personal with my eating habits. Once I did, I soon realized … More Why When and What’s it All Mean
Check out my latest page: The Politics of Our Food. Periodically when I add pages I’ll leave a link on the main blog as well. Enjoy.
Actually since it’s 3:30 in the morning I guess I really saw her yesterday. But on with my story. I already told my husband that my goal going in was to hang on to my gallbladder. Evidently the surgeon didn’t get the memo. The nurse who brought us back to the examination room not so … More So I Saw the Surgeon Today…
Six days post-attack of the gallbladder and I am finally feeling more like myself.
