Wow. I don't know what else to say. My heart is full. Today has been the sort of day when my soul feels closer to the surface and each moment seems special...Holy. It was a day of "divine appointments," and the opportunity to rely on God's strength for what He put before me (on my... Continue Reading →

Yesterday morning I was aware of God's presence as Rob presented a message on Heaven. The topic was chosen weeks ago, when there was no way of knowing that our country would be grieving the loss of 27 people whose lives were needlessly cut short on Friday. Being absent from this body means to be... Continue Reading →
Sixteen
Our son turns 16 today - a milestone, to be sure. As I type this, there are deep booming voices coming from the living room where he is hanging out with some of his closest buds. They are awesome friends - the kind we prayed for - who make him laugh and have his back... Continue Reading →

Porter, Pollyanna In my growing up years, Summers were spent in North Truro, a small town on Cape Cod. In those days the Public Library was a tiny one-room... Continue Reading →
The Spin: A Bigger Roof
It has been 4 weeks since we helped Elizabeth move in to her dorm room. I couldn't write about it until now...and now I have so much to say that I feel almost paralyzed. Where to start? If I try to tell it all, in proper order, it will be a garbled mess. There have... Continue Reading →

I was in First Grade and the school sent me home with a flyer from a company that made I.D. bracelets. They were wrist-wide metal plaques with decorative chains to complete the... Continue Reading →

Now, there is no denying that there are "zero." I've been away the past week, chaperoning Nick's Band Camp in the mountains. If... Continue Reading →

Months ago, I wrote about choosing to postpone the "countdown" until the day it was unavoidable. I'm afraid that day is quickly approaching. I hear its footsteps. I feel the heat of its breath. For today, I am avoiding eye contact and kind of ducking down a little, hoping it thinks I don't see it,... Continue Reading →
The Tassel Turns
Yesterday afternoon, I got to drive Elizabeth and two of her closest friends to her High School Graduation. Rob drove her grandparents in another vehicle, Nick rode with the band, and the Uncles and Cousins met us there. Including Nick, who had the best seat of all of us, because the band sits near the...

Sneak Preview
When Rob and I first married - there were quite a few people who advised us to wait a few years before adding children to the mix. The reasoning was so that our relationship would have time to get really strong and healthy - or that we should take advantage of the ability to travel... Continue Reading →
