Radical

This morning I went to the dentist’ office for a check up and cleaning. The lady who worked on my teeth began making conversation and asking me about my life, what brought our family to Tennessee etc… Being the talkative person that I am, I readily obliged her…and perhaps a little more (yes, even at [...]

Some Exposition/Commentary

Recently I’ve been trying my hand at expositing the Scriptures – specifically, Proverbs 3. Let me tell you, it is no small task! However, it is proving a great exercise, and I encourage you to try it. My method is about as simple as it can get. I meditate on a particular verse, sometimes for [...]

Prince Caspian Ballet

When I first heard that our friends from the Central Ballet Theatre were going to do a production of Prince Caspian, I thought – impossible! I mean really, when was the last time you heard of ballet dancing to the Chronicles of Narnia? It’s like making Lord of the Rings into a musical! (but I [...]

A Winter’s Countryside

A Tennessee Snowman

A Morning of Sewing

For those of you who didn’t read my previous sewing post, we’ve be getting together every week with our homeschooling friends to sew in preparation for our Civil War Ball [...]

Over Six Feet Tall!

I am now over six feet tall!  Though I am not yet taller than Walter, the gap between us is getting smaller. Hopefully in a few more years, I’ll be taller than him. – Walter’s “little” brother that will hopefully be a “little” taller than he is (Nate the Great)

The Coolest Dad Ever

UPDATE: Thanks to Camille, we now have a much better photo of Dad’s shirt! She snapped this photo at the ’07 Jamestown Celebration. Thanks Camille! Yesterday at church I saw our friend Todd, diligently packing up chairs after the service, his daughter Madison watching and “helping” beside him. “Hey Todd!” I greeted him “Hi Kasie! [...]
