no, i don't have children. and neither does Anne Marie Miller actually. but when i read this piece she wrote the other day [that went completely viral and totally shut down her website, i need that it needed to be shared as clearly did everyone else... but reading her next three pieces [which are linked at the end of this] i would just recommend adding Anne's blog to your blog reader list as she clearly [...]
aka Jamie the very worst missionary's position on sex [part I] My youngest son is about to turn 13, so for the next 9 months, until my oldest turns 20 (holy ape balls!), I will be Mom to three teenage boys. That means our dinner table feels like a locker room... if locker rooms were full of nerds. The conversation tumbles easily from Xbox to music to girls to MineCraft to push ups to girls to [...]
I remember the first article I was invited to write for Truth magazine back in the day had the title, "How far is too far?" so I wrote, "Belgium. Belgium is too far!" and then proceeded to write the rest of my article [for some reason, they let me stay.] And the main point of the article was that if we are asking 'How far is too far?' then we are already in trouble because [...]
Another week means another round-up of the blog posts that inhabited my other blog, 'The Weekly Mash [and Peace!]' and the chance to catch up with any of them you may have missed out on:Monday was a combination of funny mixed with satire in the area of social justice as we got to see a video of the non-profit organisation whose mission is to get a blender into the hand of every African.Tuesday was a [...]
Another week, another photo challenge and this time to find the right picture or pictures to capture the idea of fleeting. I could not look past our wedding pics for this, both because I think they really do capture the idea of a moment caught in time, but also give the idea of this thing will move on and this moment will pass. The commitment will continue and is hopefully strong and steadfast and true, [...]
So my other blog, The Weekly Mash [and Peace!] has been running for close to 3 months now and it's interesting to note what the most popular posts have been so far - as each day has a different theme i thought it would be good to look at the top performer for each day in terms of visits, reads and shares and so here they are: Monday = Fun Day - Humour: It amuses [...]
Sometimes in the present context of the life in which i live, there are moments where i need to just be incredibly silly for a few minutes just to remain sane. This started me on a journey with my alter ego, Brad Fish, who embarked on a series of Public Awareness video clips with the series titled 'Dangerous Things You Can Least Expect' in which each episode Brad would look at something you might not [...]
Braaaaaaaaaains... You do not have to be a big zombie fan to appreciate the delightful Popcap 'Plants vs Zombies' tower defence game which is one of the most fun and addictive games i have ever played. To be absolutely honest it was one of the activities both the beautiful Val [tbV] and myself spent a huge amount of time on our honeymoon doing together and gave us immense times of laughter and appreciation and moment [...]
So we are continuing through Mark and this is a bit of a dejavu passage as Jesus repeats a miracle He has done before [feeding the crowd] but this time with a slightly smaller crowd and the disciples are still struggling to get it. To add to his frustrations his good friends the Pharisees pitch up demanding a sign leading into a deep sigh of frustration and him actually climbing back into the boat and [...]
This felt like a really good week on The Weekly Mash [and Peace!] and so if you missed any of these, here is an opportunity to catch up: Monday was a joint post of the 'What Asian are you?' video clip which was both quite funny but also pretty inward-reflection calling and worth everyone seeing as well as the sequal to the K-MArt "Shipped my pants" ad i shared a while back. Tuesday became [...]
