I realize I've not been terribly articulate lately or attentive for that matter. But my garden is dying, my carpets need vacuuming, my laundry needs putting away...so something has to give and it's usually THIS.
Anyway, I thought this guy was pretty insightful regarding Christians' relationship to Obama, especially since I'd be classified as a "world view" Christian.
Here's the link.
I thought this was a fantastic post. Even though it has to do with children's ministry, the truths apply to all church members.
Here's the link.
Over at Tulipgirl, a website I really, really like, she posted a whole list of helpful articles in dealing with toddlers. I just had to share!
They did it again! I hope these guys become so famous.
Prepare to start your Monday laughing!
I've been laughing my head off looking at all of Terry Border's art at his website. This photo is entitled, "Ending a Dysfunctional Relationship".
It was a difficult decision which photo to share with you to entice you to head on over there, but after a conversation I had recently I thought this one might make a certain someone's day.
1. $10 roll of quarters
2. A small bottle of laundry soap (or some powdered from home in a ziplock bag)
3. A large mesh laundry bag
I've had numerous occasions when I have been so grateful for these three items while on the road with three children, especially the time when sweet baby girl threw up her nasty Casa Bonita food all over her most special pink blanket and car seat.
I was able to pack just 4 or 5 outfits a piece to last us two weeks while on the road this last time because every hotel has a coin laundry and I'd do it after the kids went to bed. Plus, it felt good to come home with more clean clothes than dirty clothes to deal with.
Works for me!
In honor of the two weeks I spent in the South, I decided to post the newest Rhett and Link video!
BUT-they totally forgot Kansas City!
I couldn't let Independence Day pass without reminding you of one of my favorite Rhett and Link videos!
I should be packing and cleaning...but I had to tell you about this wonderful, absorbing book called Manhunt: The 12-Day Chase for Lincoln's Killer by James L. Swanson. I'm halfway through and can't put it down. This author writes historical nonfiction like a novel. He uses primary sources from actual letters, speeches, telegrams. I want this guy to write MORE.
Check out his website:

C.J. Mahaney said he slowed down reading this book toward the end because he didn't want it to end. I would agree!
Between illness and getting ready for a looooon driving trip, it will be pretty sparse around these parts. Expect the occasional posts, but I still have to get my chores done and start packing! Both of the grown ups in this house have terrible sore throats and doesn't help the equation either.
