I didn't see this coming, but it's Friday!

Today I was in the  middle of writing a blog, when a very sweet friend of mine came over unexpectedly, and we spent an hour and half talking about God instead of me writing about Him. I then wandered over to a blogging friend, Ameena Falchetto,…

The Gift-To-Gab...

I was one of those kids who got in trouble for talking too much! My report card comments always said something like "Sweet, but talks too much in class." My first detention was, you guessed it, for talking in class. My favorite pass time, talking…

Why Do I Do It? What's the Goal?

Why in the world do you blog, Beth? Good question... I've asked myself that several times when sitting at my computer at 2 a.m.! I recently listened to a podcast where a woman by the name of  Penelope Trunk got all up in the business of a…

I remember hiking through Glacier National Park with a toddler in a carrying backpack. She weighed no more than 20 pounds, but by the end of the hike it felt like a baby elephant on my shoulders.

Is It Possible?

Hello, my name is Beth, and I am addicted to Facebook... If there isn't already, there soon will be a 12-step program for Facebook addicts, to which I must confess, I think I am one. Isn't the first step to recovery admitting I have a problem?…

Identity Crisis

Recently, I had a conversation with a high school friend as to why she no longer attended church. She said she didn’t feel as though she fit in. She’s never been married, and felt like church is geared towards the married, and all that…
