While at Blissdom this weekend, I met some great new friends and I’ll tell you about them soon. They discovered that it was very hard to find and read about our fire story on my blog so this is a compilation of posts that I wrote in the days and months after the fire to [...]

I read The Great Divorce this weekend for the 3rd or 4th or 5th time. Lewis dreams that he dies and takes the bus trip to heaven. When he gets there, all the people from earth look likes ghosts compared to the people who’ve been in heaven. Apparently, sanctification, becoming a real person—-that can [...]

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.
