My middle daughter Gwen, who is 14 years old, loves the Barbie movies. I have been watching them with her, I have to admit that I have been enjoying myself immensely. The music is Broadway sounding. The voice over work is done by well know actors and actresses. The morals are told in very modern ways. They almost remind me of fun and modern morality plays.

We are in our final week of school, and it's been going by so quickly. Today and tomorrow is it, and then we're off for the summer. I am ready for a break...but I'm not completely done yet. I have to start rehearsals for my schools' summer musical, Grease (I'm in the pit orchestra), and then I have to go to drum major camp because I made drum major for next year, and then I get to conduct the fourth of July parade (marching backwards, no less), so I've still got a lot to do. I just got done with… Continue

While at Wal-Mart one day. A young African man was checking my items and we got to talking. I had my youngest daughter with me, and commented on how helpful and well behaved she was. He ask about how old she. I told him that she had just turned 12 and that Ana, my daughter, went to a Christian school. He asked about if they taught Darwinism. I explained they taught both Creationism and Darwinism, and gave him other reason why she goes to a Christian school. He explain that in his country they be… Continue

Finally got my songs and everything on my ipod nice and orderly.

We celebrate my oldest daughter's Birthday. She turned 16. Hipefully she will servive to her 18th. Birthday.

I grew up in the church. My mother was (and remains) a devout Lutheran. I remember her taking me to church when I was quite little. I sat patiently in the pew, not really sure what was going on. But I received sound instruction in Sunday School, Vacation Bible School, Bible Camp and Luther League. I sang in the youth choir and I was an acholyte. I never attained Eagle Scout, but I earned my Pro Deo et Patria (God and Country) badge. Even when I was in high school, I'd stay out until 3 AM… Continue

Mr. Volf held the callbacks, and apparently it was the surprise way of telling us we were actually in Delphian choir for next year! I'm so excited! This was over a week ago, of course, I simply haven't had time to update during computer literacy class. On top of that I also managed to get into rhapsody choir, so it's definitely welcome. The only setback is that I have to drop Spanish, but my current Spanish teacher offered to give me weekly lessons to keep up on it, which is incredibly kind of h… Continue

As many of you may already now, tomorrow is the National Day Of Prayer and a lot of Christian people will be celebrating it. A lot except our President.

President Barack Obama has decided to simply do a simple "lip service" instead of a celebration of the National Day of Prayer. For eight years, former President George W. Bush celebrated this day at the White House and invited many ministers to celebrate this day along with him and together they all prayed and recognized that this country was f… Continue

Okay so as a small group leader for the last 2 1/2 years my group has seen many topics, studies, etc. Tonight we started a new series I found called Dinner and a Movie. It was awesome to cook a meal with my ladies and then be able to relax and joke while watching a movie together. We need to work on time since we were there for 4 hours but the amazing thing is nobody seemed to mind. For the next 3 months we are going to do this biweekly and I am so psyched to not have a lot of pre-planning or pr… Continue

It started out pretty good until I got hit from behind by a car. My hubby, my three girls and I needed to goto Walmart. We didn't get very far. More pain, it's hard for me to walk right now.
