This week is the final countdown to the PreteenMinistry conference in Rocklin, CA and I’m lucky and blessed enough to be able to go with my church. I’ve been volunteering with preteen for the better part of three or so years and I love it. I also hate it. I know, odd thing to say, but let me explain before you dismiss me and my [...]

Why I love and hate Preteenministry
This week is the final countdown to the PreteenMinistry conference in Rocklin, CA and I’m lucky and blessed enough to be able to go with my church.

The First Day
It’s day one of my Year of Living Dangerously. And I do feel dangerous.
Today I sped five miles over the speed limit while cackling with glee as if I was an evil genius about to take over the world and bomb Saskatchewan off the face of the map. I mean, who’d miss that province anyway? It’s not like Canada is a real country or anything.

And such a moment happened tonight as I was catching up on my blogging. I wrote today’s post about the last movie I cried to and in that entry I highlighted the movie “Lilo an [...]
Change would do you good
Besides being part of the lyrics to a jamming song it’s become my mantra over the last month or so. My friend TheCharChar posted a small blurb on her blog noting that among other things that “C” word is rarely a comfortable place to find yourself submerged and floundering. It’s a true statement and it’s part of [...]
Journey Home
Growing up, I had a few places I would come to call ‘Home’. I was born in Billings, MT in the long ago year of 1982. I lived in Big Sky Country until I was and my brother was born. We left Big Sky shortly afterwards.

I took a hit in the character department recently. I won’t tell the story or of the people involved as it [...]
