The bailout plan failed. The Dow suffered its worst drop ever. Yet, so many of you told me yesterday how you are expecting good things from God – and how you are enjoying His presence more than ever. I can’t tell you the countless number of people I’ve talked to who are going through some [...]

I’m expecting.
Gotcha. You thought I was about to announce a bun in the oven, didn’t ya? No. My baby bump would be a direct result from chips and queso, thank you. I’m expecting God to do something. Not part the Red Sea again. Although, sometimes, I feel like I’m standing at one. Do you ever feel [...]

How do you see the glass?
The other day, we were all in the car headed to Chick-fil-A. John Henry kept asking, “How much longer until we get there?” You see, he was ready to hurry and get home so he could play with his brand spankin’ new Batman house. Eventually, I had enough. ‘Cause all mommas eventually have enough. “John [...]

What’s governing you?
Several days ago, the stock market plummeted. Banks are in trouble. Big time companies like AIG are being bailed out by our federal government. What does this do to American spending? More than likely, it instills a bit of fear in us. Just like my experience on Monday with a complete stranger entering my house [...]

What a strange Monday.

What Kind?
Well, our weekend went off spectacularly. John Henry played his first soccer game, and he thought the tumble and roll was the best part of the game. Here he is before the uniform needed a good washing. We were pretty certain this girl here was our ringer. Not so much. Anyhoo, the start of [...]

Celebrate Good Times.
I’ve spent a lot of time this week getting our house ready for John Henry’s birthday celebration. My parents arrived yesterday, and my dad had his list of restaurants he needed to hit before departing the great state of Oklahoma. Daddy Bryan arrives this evening. We decided to make the weekend a family affair for [...]

Shot to the heart.
It’s no secret that I don’t shine in the kitchen. But, when John Henry told me this, I didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. Me: John Henry, do you want me to make your Transformers birthday cake? John Henry: Can you? Me: I can try. John Henry: Well. Okay, but get daddy to help [...]

Gee Wally. School kids can be so mean.
Monday wasn’t too much of a departure from most of my Mondays. I dragged myself out of bed and headed straight for the java. I went to our office and caught up on some accounting. Do wha? Dusty, you actually go to an office? Yes.I.Do. As little as possible. But, it was later where my [...]
