Remember this post? A more recent conversation: Anna: Mom, I want a Bratz doll on my birthday list. Me: No, Anna. I don’t like Bratz dolls. Anna: Why? Me: They just don’t look like they have Jesus in them. (Judgmental. Pharasaical. I know. It’s all I could pull out on such short notice.) After this conversation, [...]

And, I’m spent.
I’m not doing a very good job pacing myself lately. And believe me, I like a good pace that includes enough time for Facebooking, General Hospital, and working out sitting on my sofa with a box of Cheez-its. I won’t bore you with my laundry list of items I’ve committed myself to. – Pre-School Committee [...]

Confrontation
This is a tough one. At some point in life, we are going to have to confront someone on something. It’s never easy. At least not for me. Employers face confrontation often. I’ve watched Kris address various situations with our pilots. He’s pretty straight forward with them. And, when the ball is put in my [...]

Rejoice My Peeps!
Today is the day the Lord has made. I will rejoice and be glad in it. Psalm 118:24 I wish those were the first words out of my mouth every morning. Instead of “why can’t I just make the coffee the night before like my mom?” As I was pulling into to Super Target today [...]

My big fat weekend.
As if the splendor of HSM3 (that’s High School Musical 3 for all of those with children over 14) wasn’t enough, we took the weekend fun a step further and attended the Greek Festival. I’ve wanted to attend the festival every October that I have lived here. This year, with the encouragement of my friend, [...]

The wardrobe saga continues.
Thirty-eight degrees outside. And, this is what she put on. “You’re going to freeze, Anna! It’s very cold outside!” “No, I won’t. I’ll wear a jacket.” She explained. Glo-ree. Watch your back and your over-sized shades, Rachel Zoe. Anna Takle is hot on your trail.

Doubting Dusty
“I will lead the blind by ways they have not known, along unfamiliar paths I will guide them; I will turn the darkness into light before them and make the rough places smooth. These are the things I will do; I will not forsake them.” Isaiah 42:16 I read this scripture yesterday. I re-read it. [...]

I love my friends.
I got the best friends y’all. Between my Facebookers, Myspacers, Twitterers, Bloggy Readers, E-mailers and Old-Fashioned Cell Phone Callers (since when is that one old-fashioned?), I had the biggest, bestest lovey birthday. It certainly wasn’t on account of my youngest. Remember how I boasted on my favorite gifts yesterday? Well, Miss Anna made sure I [...]

Today is kind of a big deal.
Today is my birthday. And, well. That’s kind of a big deal. I’m not like all into myself or anything. It’s just my favorite day of the year. Oh, Dusty. You mean you enjoy it more than your own child’s birthday? Of course, I do. It’s MY birthday. It’s apparently not that big of a [...]

Back to life. Back to reality.
Family vacation was oh so nice. I usually leave the beach with aspirations to one day live there. But then, I question. Would I value that wonderment of God’s creation if I soaked it in every single day? Or would it, like so many blessings in my life, be taken for granted? Probably the latter. [...]
