It's OK to be WEIRD! — Who decides what's normal anyway?

Sometimes it’s the little things that drive me crazy

0 comments June 12, 2013

Normally I’d say I don’t mind change. New things are good. Creative new things are even better. But sometimes there’s a little something that changes and drives me batty! Last night I updated my Mac to the latest operating system – Mountain Lion. Yes, I might be a little late to the party here, but everything was working fine on Snow Leopard (or whatever big cat I had prowling around inside my MacBook Pro). If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it, right? Anyway, the update needed to be done for another update I was trying [...]

WW: Is it really a better deal? {linky}

5 comments May 7, 2013

Welcome to WEIRD and Wordless Wednesday! Almost always weird, and sometimes wordless, too. This signage just struck me as interesting. I see this kind of thing a lot. (Yes, I’m a nerd so I notice these thing! LOL!) I’ll buy TWO 4-packs of bars for $9.98 rather than 8 bars for $10.99, thanks! I’d even by 8 bars for $11.99 rather than TWO 4-packs at regular $14.58… Do you check the prices on the sale signage to make sure it’s really a better deal? Wordless Wednesday is meant to be a simple post which features [...]

Finding God in the Dark

1 comment April 30, 2013

If you know me in real life, you may or may not know that the last 2 years have not been the easiest for me. There has been a lot of uncertainty and lots of change. I’ve not felt far away from God through it all, but I’ve struggled with faith and hope in general. When I saw the title of a new book (or maybe it was the subtitle), I knew this would be an important book for me to read at this time in my life. Baker Publishing sent along this new book [...]

Pruning and Refining – a new perspective

2 comments April 13, 2013

Life can get tough sometimes. And we can take it really personally. A pastors’ wife friend of mine recently said to me, “Lessons, pruning, sifting, refining…etc…it’s all of this and more…it’s completing us!” Right now, I really am working hard to remember the pruning process, and to allow myself to be refined. I really thought these processes would make less of me…. but I think there’s more going on than I previously understood. The pruning picture resonates with me based on what I’ve seen in life. Previously, I’ve always envisioned that God’s perfecting process would [...]

Weird English: Seen vs. Saw

5 comments April 7, 2013

Seriously, I am not a grammar nazi. The English language is so weird, that it’s no wonder we make mistakes in it all the time. But, I do have a few grammar pet peeves! Correct: I ‘saw’ him at the store. Incorrect: I ‘seen’ him at the store. I have very few grammar issues that drive me as crazy as this one. I thought it was a southern USA ‘thing’ because I heard it all the time when I lived down there, and still hear it WAY too often when I visit. But NOPE, it’s [...]

No Freaking Way! Father of Lights DVD Review

1 comment March 19, 2013

Our family really likes to watch documentaries, and real life stories – not “based on a true story” kinds of movies, but REAL stories of real people as they are going along, or being interviewed after the fact. A movie called “Father of Lights” came into our lives, and it’s just that kind of movie – and it’s pretty amazing! About Father of Lights If God could be filmed, what would He look like? In this explosive documentary, filmmaker Darren Wilson attempts to do the impossible: film God and understand His character. Along the way, [...]

Some phrases don’t go together in my head: Weird Wednesday

0 comments March 13, 2013

Welcome to WEIRD Wednesday! One of my friend’s friend’s Facebook posts recently caught my attention. There are just some phrases that never go in the same sentence together in my head. “Thank Jesus” and “f—ing hell” for instance. This made me laugh out loud – maybe inappropriately, but you know weirdness always strikes me as funny. Check out more Weird Wednesday here on my blog. If you like, leave me some words to tell me what weird or wacky things you’ve seen this week!
