We have a clock hanging in our living room. I bought it for the wall in our last house and when I brought it home, I insisted that it be hung on the wall above the recliner where I used to sit every morning, sip my coffee, and read my Bible. As we were settling … More Day 17: The Clock.

Despite yesterday’s episode, Nate woke up this morning feeling like a million bucks. But his cheerful disposition and appetite weren’t the only things that returned today. His words were back with a vengeance today…and all the coffee in the world couldn’t prepare my ears to hear all of them. My Nate is sweet, affectionate, outgoing, … More Day 14: Life Lessons.
It was a typical Tuesday morning in the Crabb Shack. I had finished my 2 cups of coffee and my Bible study. The day’s lessons were planned and I had carefully laid out all the necessary supplies for science experiments. Breakfast would be made as soon as the first child stirred. I was feeling pretty … More Day 13: The Servant.
I’ve always loved rain. Since I was a teenager there’s been something about a rainy day that makes me want to put on my running shoes, grab my iPod (or walkman it was called back in those days), and just go for a long, slow run. I love the smell of damp earth. I love the … More Day 12: Rain.
All day I’ve been thinking about what I would sit down and write tonight. There were 3 different ideas that had been swirling around in my brain and I’ve been sitting at the keyboard tapping away starting draft…after draft…after draft. My fingers couldn’t make any of them sound nearly as eloquent as they did in … More Day 11: Love and Loyalty; Jesus and Dogs.

Jimmy and I spent 3 1/2 hours on ONE Math lesson today. One. Lesson. What makes it worse is that it was the same lesson he watched the lecture, did the practice problems, & took the lesson quiz twice yesterday & STILL didn’t understand. Last night I told him not to sweat it; that he & … More Day 7: Math
Most mornings my alarm goes off between 5 and 6 am. I intentionally get up about 2 hours before the first kid will stir. I stumble downstairs with my favorite hoodie draped over my arm, my glasses in my hand, and the dog on my heels. I push the “on” button on the coffee pot … More Day 6: I Will Go.
