Well as I am often reminded after wishing customers a good day: “They are all good just (all together now) some are better than others.” I think that this year has taught me that there are times that test us but with the help of family, the best of friends and the power of HIM […]

Our new addition, Luke James, is almost 2 months old (already!), and he loves music. While I sit cuddling, feeding, and playing with him, I’ve been perusing youtube.com looking for music for us to enjoy together. Being the time of year that it is, we’ve really been appreciating Christmas tunes, especially Martina McBride and Celine

I’m not even sure why most stores opened Thanksgiving night at either 9 or midnight. Did they think perhaps it would be less chaotic than opening at 4am? My brother and his friend hit Wal-Mart at 10. My cousin and her annual group headed out at 11. Me?! I traveled to our area Wally World

What a fun-filled day full of loving (if a bit wacky) family with so many blessings given to us from above. So thankful that He has led me through this one of the toughest years I have had to endure with not only my own physical hurdles but hopefully within a few weeks those of

Honestly, he is NOT retiring! Moments ago after 28 1/2 years, and a combined on-air time over 53 years of 17,000 hours (a Guinness record), Regis Philbin said goodbye to HIS show. He moved from NYC to California years ago after graduating from his beloved University of Notre Dame. In 1983, he returned to his home
I’ve been thinking recently about friends and friendship. I value my friends and value my close friends highly. If it is within my abilities, there isn’t much I wouldn’t do for a friend. Now there are some questionable activities that I won’t consider, but if asked for, or neede, I try to be there for
SO GLAD Megan could get tickets! Back in June, I learned that the 25 Anniversary of Les Misérables was making its way to the Stranahan. I did not forget but with all the eventful events surrounding my family the past few months, it kind of took a back seat. However, Megan was able to score

This will be relatively short. I do agree with the firing of Joe Paterno after the shocking week at Penn State University. In 2002, after he was approached by the graduate assistant who knew of the assistant coach’s gross inappropriate conduct, Joe Pa should have gone NOT to the Athletic Director nor even to the

Well… it seems that Oscar is in need of a host once again. Yesterday, amid scandal and controversy the producer of next year’s Academy Award extravaganza Brett Ratner backed out of his duties. Shortly after, Eddie Murphy stepped down as host. This morning, I heard two possible contenders being promoted (two being rather subjective). On
Wednesday November 9 is the 2011 Country Music Awards – an event once so important to me that I would put my schedule on hold so I could enjoy watching this annual awards show on tv. For a few years now, I have committed my Wednesday nights to leading a small group for church’s student
