I overslept this morning!!! I think my body knows that Fall is coming and is starting to rebel. Anyway, I only argued with myself a couple of seconds and jumped up and called out to Moo so we could get some kind of walking in before work. I explained to him that because it was…
While I Have My Being
I just read a scripture that was powerful to me and I wanted to share: Psalm 146:2 - I will praise the Lord while I live. I will sing praise to to my God while I have my being... The last part of that scripture, "while I have my being," really screamed at me. The…
Brillo Pad
So, I just finished cleaning my shower. I truly hate doing it, I mean I hate it, just about as much as Moo hates cleaning his room and hanging his clothes up. I looked at the shower floor and realized I needed some heavy duty help in cleaning it, but what did I have? I…
Stop, Look, and Listen
As is my custom on Sunday, I was ironing the boy's clothes this morning, in the quiet of the day. I began to think about this time that I spend of Sunday and how it has become special to me. It is a time when there is no sound, nobody calling my name, or looking…
Gratitude in All Things
I was texting a friend this morning and at the end of the text, I wrote, "I am learning to be grateful in all things." And it hit me: this is yet another lesson that God has been trying to teach me. Instead of trying to control the outcome of my environment and then having…

Comfort Food
This summer has been a slow one for Team Pruden. We normally "eat, sleep, and run the road". That's what my mom said Paul and I used to do when we were teenagers - and it didn't stop when we got married and had kids. I think back to when I had Moo at the…
My “Apple whatevers”
Head of Household
Work Break Note - I can only speak for myself when I say that I would not want to be the head of a household...now before anyone gets their panties in a bunch - I am speaking as I know it, lived it, and live it now, first with the infamous James Holley, and now…
For Our Good
Before Moo and I set out to walk this morning, his father informed him that he would be moving up to the next age group in football. And contrary to what I normally do, I decided not to say anything to Moo about it while we were walking. I wanted him to process his feelings…
