Jerry | Jan 06, 2010Hey, It’s me. Jerry Shirer; the other half of the Shirer team. Last week a friend told me that he’d been on Priscilla’s blog, reading through one of the motherhood discussions. He’d typed up a couple paragraphs to join in and then deleted it when it occurred to him that he’d be the only guy […]

Priscilla | Jan 05, 2010Put on sackcloth, O priests, and mourn; wail, you who minister before the altar. Come, spend the night in sackcloth, you who minister before my God; for the grain offerings and drink offerings are withheld from the house of your God. Declare a holy fast; call a sacred assembly.

Read MoreNew Year’s Resolutions? Nah.
Rachel Anne | Dec 29, 2009A few years ago I asked my son Grayson, age 12 at the time, if he had any New Year’s resolutions. He thought a moment and then said, “Yeah. Eat a high fiber diet!” Wait a sec. Unless Pop Tarts are now considered a health food, I don’t think he had any idea what he […]
