My church has a Wednesday Night Testimony meeting, where people give testimonies of healing through prayer. I heard this story at one of these meetings. Makes me have sympathy for John who says that he attends the meeting because it’s the only way to know what happened in his household that week. I have…
Some of you may remember the six-year old who hid behind a column and prayed for the fat lady at the circus. This was not my mom’s only encounter with the healing power of ‘Thy will be done’ at the age of six. On another occasion her family was traveling on the subway.…
Sunday night, we watched the movie Sky High with the children. Monday morning, Juss came wandering into the kitchen while I was making breakfast, carrying a wooden footstool over his shoulder. Hefting the stool into the air with one arm, he announced: “Look! I have super strength!” Then, yesterday afternoon, I took Orville and the…
Yesterday, for Valentine’s Day, in addition to taking me purse shopping – a painful process because my current purse is perfect, except for the so old it’s falling apart part, but we found something that may work just fine – John took me to see The Spiderwick Chronicles movie. We both enjoyed the movie immensely.…
Project Lifesaver is sponsoring some golf tournaments in the Northern Virginia area. Project Lifesaver is the foundation that supports the band the Cherubim wears on his ankle, which makes it so that if he gets lost, the police can find him.

For Christmas, I was given a book about Spindrift, an organization that did scientific experiments into the efficacy of prayer from the 70s to the 90s. Nowadays, one sees research into prayer all the time. My church…

We knew about this thanks to my friend Sharon, who had sent us a link about it. Apparently, the weekend was free, and they had groundhog activities. So, we played hooky from…

“Mom!” Juss calls from the Bedroom when he’s supposed to be sleeping, “Where’s Arko? I can’t find him?” ??? Anyone else’s children lose or misplace their invisible friends? I should have known this kid was going to be trouble ever since the time he cried because he left his imaginary skateboard in the car, back…
Boy, I haven’t been here in like, forever! I wonder where I’ve been… Preparing for the fifth birthday of son #3. For so long, he was the baby while the others were little tykes, it’s amazing to seem him up and about and excelling at practically everything (except keeping his temper.) He’s been talking about…
