The eclipse was two weeks ago today, and I’m still thinking about it. Smiling. Feeling so thankful that we got to be a witness to the beautiful spectacle of it all.

For a few, August is wrenching and painful.  I’m thinking about moms today.  Moms who have spent the last nineteen or so years of their lives devoted mainly to one thing: raising their babies.  Moms who are this month caught up in the … Continue reading »

I grew up standing up on the front seat of our Studebaker with only my mom’s arm to protect me when she hit the brakes.  When my children were babies, I held them while we drove (sometimes when I drove!) Later, they had booster seats so they could see out the window.  From the time … Continue reading »
