It’s Saturday night and I’ve had a whirlwind of a day/week/month/year/decade. Anyhoo, I’m tired. But it’s a restless flavor of tired that only affects the body.

Caiti was pretty sure she didn’t want a graduation party per se. Then she agreed to a pool party at Aunt Gina’s. Then I remembered how fun it was to learn to square dance. So, that’s it. We’re having a square dance for Caiti’s graduation party! Not the kind where you wear puffy dresses and [...]

I’ve been continually singing the praises of confessional Lutheranism since the day it discovered me. We must thank brother Jeff and Issues Etc for that. Confessional Lutheranism is intensely Christ-centered, historical, traditional, sacramental—with a rich hymnody and well-educated clergy.

and I like cowboy boots, C.S. Lewis, good food, strong coffee, banjo music and books. I am a deeply flawed momma of 4 and grateful receiver of more good gifts than one heart can hold.
