The Oscars - Why Did I Do It?

Okay, Okay, yes, I did it. For the first time ever I sat and watched most of the Oscars. Why, you may ask (or may not care...LOL), well my sexy husband was watching it and to spend time with my love I sat and watched it. But he went to bed early and I stayed up and watched about another 40 minutes of it. I hate to say this, BUT....it was horrible. The host was rude and offensive even to his liberal colleagues with his, "I Saw Your Boobs" song. Now don't go on-line to check out the song...lol. It was astonishing to see the look on the faces of the actresses that has shown more than cleavage mentioned in his song. They were appalled and embarrassed and offended. My take on this is if you exposed them for millions of people on a screen that is bigger than life and weren't offended then you shouldn't be offended when someone sings about them in front of your colleagues.
Then I was saddened by the emptiness I saw in their pursuits. This is what most of them live for, this is what they work all of their lives to attain, a golden man-like statue. Tom Brady said, several years back after winning the Superbowl, that there has to be more to life than just winning the Superbowl. He has worked so hard to attain, to achieve the trophy, the win that after the win, after the high, life was still life and he still felt like Tom. Now what? Not one person on that stage acknowledged God. Not one person thanked Him for giving them their gift, their talent. Not one person. I was so saddened to see this. I sat hoping that someone would say something, but no one did.
More and more this is becoming the norm in our society, in our neighborhoods and towns, in our schools and public buildings, in our government. How can this be?
My question to you is....what do we do now?

Making My Own Sunshine

The boys are finally back at school and boy were they excited. I, on the other hand was sad and happy all at the same time. Bittersweet. I celebrate with them because they are on an adventure. How exciting and exhilarating to be starting out in life. New beginnings. Bittersweet for those of us, watching. Mommy's and daddy's, cheering their babies on but with their hearts and stomaches in knots because as much as they want them to fly they wish that they could stay little forever. Life is full of these moments... Moments that will take your breath away...in a good way. Moments that will bring tears and cause sleepless nights. Moments that you are glad you're alive. And moments when you wonder, "what the heck am I doing here?!" Moments that will make you want to dance and celebrate. And moments that you will mourn. There is a scripture in the Bible in Ecclesiastes that reads that "there is a season for everything under the sun...a time to weep and a tim...

Antiseptic Heart Wash

What an amazing day yesterday was...I was pumped all day! Couldn't wait to get to Transformation and start loving on people. That's how we roll here...LOL. From honoring our Transformer Volunteers, to seeing hundreds of people walk through our door...many if not all burdened (but leaving Transformed). I love being the wife of this passionate pastor who loves his people, and the world, who loves his family and his calling. But last night, of course after such an amazing day, I get news that is not so cool. And my heart starts getting real ugly. My disposition, countenance changes and my family can tell I'm tense and upset. I go to bed this way and get up this way too...not good! So now I'm up way before everyone is up and the hustle and bustle begins. I sit to pray and read something that will challenge me and "slap" me out of this attitude. And so this is what I open up to...Ephesians 5:15-20....we'll focus on verse 20..."always giving thanks to God ...

Sometimes You Fee Like a Nut....Sometimes You ......

Sometimes I feel as if my life is a whirlwind. As a pastor's wife my life and ministry are one. They are intertwined. Some say this isn't a good idea but it is who we are...so yes, my mind is always thinking about this person or that person, or when will our next Girls' Night Out will be, and so on. I am home with a sick little boy today and I'm thinking about the office and the laundry that seems to morph into something monsterous. The dishes in the sink, the beds that need to be made, the projects that are due at the school, homework, sports, kids registration, greeters, worship, my husband, Transformation Groups ---- get the picture? I guess I'm not much different than many of the women all across this country, but most days I feel like that song they used to sing back in the 80's for that candy bar --- "Sometimes you feel like a nut, sometimes you don't." Except that I feel like a nut most of the time. Exhaustion can settle in faster than anyt...
