What Christmas Means to Me – Day 4
Yep, it’s been a while. I was planning on writing twenty-five posts about the Christmas season and perhaps that will happen. . . next year. This year I tried so hard to avoid the diseases illnesses my young students bring in to my office every day (at least during Winter) but the bacteria got the best…
What Christmas Means to Me – Day 3
Yep, it’s that time of year (whatever that really means). Maybe when people say it they’re referring to the burden of having to eat all the sweets and treats that are passed around. I bought a bag of Rolos last night (ummm yeah…I guess I could have just bought one roll) and let’s say I…
What Christmas Means to Me – Day 2
Day 2 Lolo’s Top 10 Favorite Christmas Movies: 1. The Christmas List So 90s. So awesome. 2. The Santa Clause Also 90s and equally as awesome. The first time I saw it I cried when Santa got arrested. 3. Miracle on 34th Street I’ve only seen the new one. I didn’t cry when Santa…
What Christmas Means to Me: 25 Days of Truth, Tradition and Trivia
Day 1 – December 1st Today was the first time (like ever) that my family bought a Christmas tree and took the Christmas decorations down from the attic. We usually wait until later in December to break out the Christmas decor but with a little begging (and a family that misses me) it was easy…

I’ve had my own struggles with joy in this season of life. My heart has been discouraged this week by a few things and I’ve been fearful in having to make decisions that will impact the rest of my life. Being an adult is fun and easy until you actually have to be one. What…
On Coming Home . . .
Lately I have found myself considering the concept of home. Growing up I always thought home was my house. After living in the same house for 22 years and then moving out, I realized that I was wrong. Sure, I would miss this building that had been my shelter and place of many joys and…
Christmastime is here. . .
. . . Snowflakes in the air. . . or in my case on the blog. I’ve been working on a little somethin’ somethin’ for the youth ministries at my church (more on that later) and HAD to know how to put snow on a blog. If you like what you see on mine, you…
Tune in Tuesday
Well my friends, it’s been a while but I’m back. . . and better than ever!!! Okay, not really, but I am doing well 🙂 I have to admit, when I found out our dear T-Sweezy was releasing another album I groaned inwardly (if that’s even possible). “Oh great,” I thought to myself – “Another…
30 Day Challenge: Day 10
Todays challenge is to ask God to help you consider people you know of who have faced difficult circumstances and to thank Him for sparing you from such circumstances. I believe that each person has, to some degree, their own suffering to bear and this will look different for each person. When I read this…
