Terrible Tuesday: Camp Week
This week our girls have Girl Scout Twilight Camp and our boys have Cub Scout Twilight Camp. For the first year in 5 years, I’m not at Girl Scout Camp. I miss it. And I’m very, very tired after just one day. I’m too old for camp. Links! Coffee as a health beverage. I drink […]

Fun with numbers
This week is scout day camp week, where I’m going with the boys and MTG is volunteering at the girl’s camp. Yeah, go with it. I’m also getting ready to leave for an extended stay at my parents. What I’m saying is don’t expect much meat. In fact, just consider this random thoughts blogging week. […]

Four generations
This year my family will attend the National Right to Life Convention in Dallas, my daughters will attend the Teens for Life Convention. They are the fourth generation of pro-life activists in my family. When I was ten, my mother and grandmother started a crisis pregnancy center in my hometown, a center they still run. […]

100 Days of Blogging
A little over three months ago, I decided to be more intentional about blogging, to blog every day to be precise. So, what have I learned? (Actually, that’s not entirely accurate in my case, as my commenters are very kind.) This has actually been a very helpful and clarifying few months. It’s funny how being […]

Fine Arts Friday: Birthday happenings
Today is MTG’s birthday, and he’s taken the day off. We’re going to see the decidedly unfine-artsy “Star Trek: Into Darkness.” Then we’ll probably take the kids to the nature preserve or something similar, and I’ll make him a birthday cobbler. That is to say, we aren’t going to be concentrating on a lot of […]

We’re all under surveillance now
This week the Supreme Court ruled that those being arrested, not convicted of any crime, can have their DNA taken and entered into a database to compare against DNA taken from cold cases. Last week a federal judge ruled that Google must turn over records to the government, even though the FBI had no warrant, […]

Fanning the spark into flame
At yesterday’s Congressional Hearing on IRS targeting of Conservative Groups, Tea Party leader Karen Kenney gave this moving testimony, which every citizen should read or watch. Every day, we get more and more evidence that the IRS has engaged in a campaign of suppression, harassment, and intimidation of conservative groups. They mostly targeted small groups […]

Terrible Tuesday: A new adventure
Thirteen years ago today… Our Little Miss is 13. My heart is overflowing with all sorts of emotions. I can barely believe that this used to be her! And us! Man, we were noobs. She was only 4lb 15 oz when she was born. Other than being small, she was very healthy, but she was […]

Astronomy tidbits
Summer nights are great for stargazing. Since I’ll be spending a few weeks with my parents in West Texas, I’ll have even more opportunity for viewing the heavens. So I thought I’d start the week off with a bit of astronomical geekery. Most people heard that an asteroid came near (in astronomical terms) the earth […]

Worthy causes
My former pastor used to talk about leaving room in the margins of our budget in order to be able to give. In the Bible, the people are instructed to leave the corners of their fields as well as what is dropped by the harvesters so that the poor could come through the field after […]
