I’ve been going to church my whole life. I grew up in the church; my parents grew up in the church. There’s a lineage of grace there. I’ve been blessed to be raised this way and I look forward to raising my own kids this way. (Whenever that is.)

Still Don’t Like Ladders
I don’t like ladders.
Never have.
I don’t really like step stools either.
Wooed
This week was a tough one.
Not a Political Blog
All week, I thought I would do my first political blog post. Honestly. I thought, “I need to get my opinion out there. They need to know what I think about the current state of our nation.” I dreaded this election. I dreaded the outcome, no matter what would happen. But this isn’t a political blog. It never has been. It never* will be. (*Putting an asterisk here because I shouldn’t say “never.” Things could change. I don’t know the future.) It’s not a political blog because I think when we sink our teeth into politics for the sake of politics we miss the point. (There is a place for politics, don’t get me wrong, but this isn’t the place for it.)
Lesson in Overcoming Insecurity
My cousin’s little boy asked me if I was going to have a baby. There’s no way to beat around that bush. I figured it would happen eventually. I’m overweight. But I don’t think I carry that weight like I am pregnant. But it didn’t hit me like I always thought it would. I imagined that it would leave me devastated and hating my body.
See ya, Latter!
This was a big week for our family. A lot of important things happened, but I want to focus on one thing in particular. (I feel like this year has been full of monumental moments, but I guess that’s what growing up feels like.)
Sometimes it’s Not About the Degree
Honestly, I wanted to get this post up last Sunday, but didn’t have the time or energy to get it done before bedtime—you read that right. Bedtime. I didn’t know exactly what I wanted to share, or how I wanted to share it. We had a day full of activity and didn’t get home until later in the evening.
Happy Father’s Day!
In my post about Mother’s Day I mentioned how these kinds of holidays sneak up on me … and it happened again for Father’s Day. Except that I had the weeks mixed up, and ended up frantically preparing for a holiday that was two weeks away. That’s right. I was ready for Father’s Day the first weekend of June. It makes for a funny story though.
The True Hero’s Story
How many stories have you read (or watched, movies count, too) that involved a “chosen one” or a hero? A savior? The hero is a trope—the main character is an integral part of any story. One of my favorite parts of writing in the fantasy genre is how several books that span over a long period of time can still be part of the same overarching story. I love the connectedness.
A Big Week
These things are all good. They’re things I don’t want to forget in a month or a year. Or ten.
