I did it again!!!! I am convinced that my body is conspiring to keep me in bed! My body was not the only thing that was conspiring against me this morning. My mind was in on it too. Have you ever awakened and a gazillion thoughts hit you at once? Well, that happened to me…

Whose On Your Team?
Last night after practice, the boys went upstairs to shower and prepare for bed. I heard Moo scream out, so I ran to the stairs. I asked Moo what was wrong and he told me that he thought he had caught a charliehorse. Aaron ran out of his room and starting working the cramp out…
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…
The Small Things
I really struggled to get out of bed this morning. I mean, really struggled. I laid in bed and argued with myself - that's how bad I didn't want to get up. But I pushed myself and Moo to get up and get out the door. And the minute I walked outside, I immediately smiled.…
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…
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…
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…
