Jello Fight
I’m taking some time off this week to attend our annual family reunion. This is one of my all-time favorite summertime ideas. It’s messy. It’s fun, and it teaches a great lesson. Enjoy this post and I’ll be back on Monday. We were on vacation with my extended family. For the first time, all … Continue reading
Is It OK to Get Angry?
We all have different ways of dealing with anger. I’m a get-it-out-in-the-open-and-deal-with-it kind of person. My husband is a hold-it-all-in-until-you-explode person. My younger daughter is an erupt-like-a-volcano girl, and my older daughter is a pretend-nothing-happened conflict avoider. No matter how we deal with anger, we all get angry. Some of us, though, have been sold … Continue reading
Tough Question Monday: Why Does Bad Stuff Happen?
My daughters think Adam and Eve were the dumbest people ever to walk the planet. They had it all. Life truly was perfect, and they threw it all away for an apple. The apple couldn’t have been that good. With one bite of an apple, they changed the world they would live in and the … Continue reading
Jello Fight Redux
It’s been a crazy, busy week around here. We’re in the end stage of a basement remodel. We’ve had daily soccer camp and evening soccer tryouts. And I’ve been working on some freelance projects. Did I mention we have company coming at the end of next week and Vacation Bible School starting on Monday? … Continue reading
Memory Monday: Tackling 9/11 (John 16:33)
Unless you live in a cave, this week is going to be filled with stories and remembrances about 9/11. Unless you have very small children, you’re going to find yourself answering questions this week about that horrible day 10 years ago. I don’t know about you, but it’s difficult for me, even 10 years later, … Continue reading

Lessons I Learned from My Daughter’s Hair
If you’re like me, you woke up this morning to the news of a huge earthquake in Japan and a possible tsunami on the West Coast. Please take a moment to pray for those in Japan and those in the path of the tsunami. Everyday Truth has some regular readers in Japan. Pray for them … Continue reading
Hearing Problems
We’re headed to the ear, nose and throat doctor today. My youngest’s ears have been stopped up pretty much since November. She’s had trouble with her ears for most of her life, and we see the ENT every six months or so. About a week ago, she came to me and asked if we could … Continue reading
Digging Out
Like much of the Midwest and Great Plains states, we are digging out from more than a foot of snow this morning. When we shoveled the driveway yesterday, we had to scoop through 2 1/2- to 3-foot snow drifts. It took us close to an hour to shovel, and by the time we got done … Continue reading
Memory Monday: Snow Day (Psalm 51:7)
)
As I look out my window today, I see a blanket of pristine white. We’re having our first snow day of the season. Since I don’t have to go anywhere today, I’m enjoying the beauty of the winter wonderland. I have to admit when I considered the possibility of a snow day today, I wasn’t … Continue reading
