Since being sick earlier this week, I missed two days of running, so this morning, I wasn’t sure how I’d feel being back out there, but man, as soon as I started, I felt amazing!
Back in high school, even though I wasn’t very fast, I LOVED running. Then, through the my senior year, a lot of “life” happened, so my running stopped and, until last month, hadn’t started up again.
That’s (almost) THIRTY YEARS! Continue reading

Recently, I was accused of holding Carolyn and Nathan here against their will. Of course, that’s not true, but instead of wasting my time explaining myself to the few who’ve interfered with my life, I’m going to tell you what’s going on with Carolyn, so you can see for yourself how she’s shined.

Recently, I came across this picture of two young ladies being sent off to prom. Do you notice anything different about them? Well, as I’ve been seeing a lot of prom pictures, I’m surprised they even let girls wear some of the stuff they wear. They show so much skin, but these two young ladies are completely covered and completely gorgeous!
I remember, not so much in high school but in my dancing days, showing as much skin as possible. I thought, “The more I show, the more chance you’ll want me.” I’m not sure if that’s the case with teenagers, but it sure is sad how little clothing they wear, even to prom.
I asked my friend if I could share this picture because my privacy setting is on “public,” so there’s that chance that a lot of people would see it. I’m so glad she let me because I want everyone to see the beauty of class, the beauty of covering up, the beauty of modesty. It’s striking and rare and a real jewel in God’s crown.
Wouldn’t it be neat if a picture like THIS went viral?!
Bullying: how did it start; where will it end? Of course, these are not questions for anyone to answer. These are questions that will cause one to think. Yesterday, there was an altercation in a school lunch line, which involved bullying, self defense, and school suspension, and I’m very proud of the way my daughter, Carolyn, handled herself.
