Unspoken Ruthism

Last night while I was having a conversation with my mom, I came away with a "Ruthism"/Biblical Principle without her even saying it - Live your life in such a way that when people lie on you, no one will believe it - and if they do believe it, that's on them - thank you…

More Ruth for Daily Living

Lately, I have made up in my mind that I would work on not being so easily offended, be less defensive, and have more empathy. So, as it usually goes in KP's World, when I say I'm going to improve in an area, I am IMMEDIATELY given an opportunity to improve. A person made a…

Regrouping

Moo and I were very hype this morning. We just knew that since football practice had started and we were still walking, that he would have lost a gazillion pounds and all would be well in the world. We both came inside and did a weigh in. Usually in the past, we would be like…

Mixed Messages

So, Moo and I are walking and talking, about football and every other random fact that he wanted to share with me this morning. He began to share with me his decision to try to stay with his age group and play football with them, as opposed to moving up to the next age range.…

GET OFF THAT PAUSE BUTTON!!

I love my nike app!! We had a rocky start, but once it was operational on my phone, we have been best friends ever since. There is one aspect of the app that I really appreciate, and that is the Pause button. I have gotten in the habit of hitting the pause button when I…

Push Past the Doubt

Moo had his first night of Rec League football practice last night, and of course he came home tired as a junk yard dog. But I told him weeks earlier that we would still do our workout in the morning in addition to his practice, so off we went this morning. And we fell into…

They’re Alive!!

I had an experience that I forgot to share!! About a week ago, I am walking around the outside of my house, looking at my flowerbeds and lamenting that I had not gotten to do all the things I normally do in them. I said a prayer that next year I will be able to…

The Hand Of God

While I was ironing the boys clothes this morning, in the quiet of the day, I started thinking back over my life. And I reflected upon one constant - the Hand of God has been interwoven into the fabric of my life. I have often heard older people say, "If I die today, it will…

God and the Roller Coaster

I went walking sans Moo this morning, who decided last night that a night with grandma was more enticing than staying home. Which was fine with me. I looked forward to some alone time during my walk. So I am walking and thinking and I think that since next year will be me and Paul's…

A Lovely Day

Today was handweight day, so I laid in bed a little while longer, dreading feeling I had got in a fight and lost. But I got up, got Moo up and we set out to "do the damn thang" lol. After all, We had some breading to burn off (Watermelon Festival - fried crabs- don't…
