Lizard Hunting, Vandalism and other adventures
The youngest of our Reluctant crew is a true country boy. Even though we live in the sterilized suburbs, he manages to find the mud, bugs, puddles and, did I mention lizards, in every corner of our little world. No refuge is safe, no drainpipe remains un-searched when the boy is on a lizard hunt. … Read more
On Multitasking and other misnomers…
I blinked, and stepped away from my computer for 20 seconds, and a year went by! What happened? Oh, I know, multitasking…. and seriously inept at it I appear to be! Therein lies the rub, dear readers, for me multitasking is a misnomer, what actually happens is that while attempting to do many things at … Read more
They call me the Food Nazi…

Where My Heart Is…
This is actually where my heart should be, where I am setting my face and standing on Truth. This past week has been hard, in so many ways, for all of us. Our friend and pastor, Matt Chandler, has been diagnosed with a tumor on his right frontal lobe and is having surgery on it … Read more
Weekend Reflections
Yesterday I watched a much loved member of our church family bury her four year old son. I don’t know what to say to make it OK, I can’t even begin to know the depths of her sorrow and all I can do is go home and hug my four year old even tighter. The … Read more

OK, so I realise that I have been remiss in my communications. There are many reasons, most of them extremely valid and interesting, but, for the sake of expediency, I will spare you!
