Obama in the Schools

Obama in the Schools

I’ve kept my mouth shut on this issue, mainly because we homeschool, making it a non-issue for our family. Let me explain. We are living in a brave new mucho-divided world. Bush and Obama both are extreme opposites and have engendered great dispute with every decision they have made. That’s the cultural climate. Mommies and …

Imagine, for just a moment, how this kind of technology would forever change the world in which we live: For example, let’s use healthcare since it’s saturating the news these days. This tech would create a healthcare setting in which caregivers always had instant access to all the pertinent information about every medical situation imaginable. …

Naked Surprise!

Naked Surprise!

It’s 9:27 a.m. The kids have all left for day camp. The house is quiet. The doorbell rings. When I open the door, I find a large white box sitting on my front porch. It’s an early Christmas present from my friends at the Naked Juice headquarters in California! Folks, this is how you make …

Free

Free

Seems Chris Anderson’s book “Free” has even managed to get the heavyweights swinging at each other. The ruckus went something like this: First, Malcolm Gladwell (an author I LOVE) threw a text-book combination (left-right-uppercut) critique at Free. Then marketing guru Seth Godin (another author I LOVE) blasted a looping overhand right at Gladwell’s critique. It …

UFC 100

UFC 100

Mir vs Lesnar, GSP vs Alves, and Henderson vs Bisping: How do you call it? Mir vs Lesnar: Personally, I hope Mir makes Lesnar look like the amateur he really is. As a matter of fact, I’d love to see Lesnar lose three straight and be forced to either start over or move on altogether. …

Obama, Fatherhood and a Presidential “Break”

I saw this on Leonard Sweet’s Twitter stream the other day (which he repeated on his Facebook profile): Leonard Sweet M. Obama’s 1line smash of stereotypes-“If he cares half as much about the country as he does about his own children, we’re going to be fine” Let me say, I love Sweet’s writings and think …

Scroll down through the xml file and look for the “created_at” tag to find your exact anniversary date, including the time.)

Divine Design

Divine Design

Think About It—God’s word is the key to answered prayer. Read About It—John 15:1-7 I love to play around on computers. My laptop, a beloved and monstrous Sony Vaio, has served me well. But before my Vaio, my personal computer wasn’t anything to rave about. It got the job done, but it was very basic. …

Watch out, Brutus!

Watch out, Brutus!

Think About It—God’s Word gives life and strength to those who hear it! Read About It—Matthew 4:1-11 As a kid, I used to love watching Popeye cartoons! Hey, don’t laugh! I’m being honest, here. You know, baring my soul, and all that jazz. You probably have some pretty funny “kid memories” yourself, so back off. …

American Idol Rejects?

American Idol Rejects?

Not sure what season of AI this is, but I have actually watched four different episodes this year — which is twice as many as I’ve watched of all previous seasons combined. I’m more of an Ultimate Fighter fan. But I digress. The most interesting thing I’ve noticed about AI is that they have really …
