Whatever. I can’t count! Leave it to me to try and change the birthdate of Jesus. Okay, math has never been my thing. I’m focusing more on the artistic process here, not the time, or time-math. Work with me people. Only one person has been brave enough to point this out, and as soon as [...]

Yesterday I was pondering my favorite Bible verse, Romans 12:2. It’s so applicable to the Christmas consumerism and might just be another clue in finding the Christmas spirit. Here is the verse in two popular translations.
NIV – Don’t copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person [...]

As we were driving home last, I thought about our house being one of the few without Christmas lights. I had every intention of putting lights up, but we still haven’t. I have a few strands of lights on the garage, however it would look like I had a few random strands unless I got [...]

It was clear to me this morning at 5:30am what I needed to write about, a new and unexpected Christmas cheer. Yesterday’s schedule was filled with ‘tinselectomy‘ opportunities and I had an expectation of how each of them would play out. I was so off base, but it made me understand how I and other [...]

God is awesome! He arranged some ‘bonus’ family time. I usually don’t have my boys on Thursdays, but he knew we needed some crazy, fun, out of the ordinary time together. We ditched homework, house work and everything else we didn’t really want to do.
We went to the hospital to see a friend’s new baby, [...]

They say the older women get, the bigger their underwear get. I’m not sure who ‘they’ is, but I’m quite sure ‘they’ spent too much time at grandma’s house or looking at the Sears catalog.
So what’s my obsession with panties lately? Well, for starters, we’re using a pair of granny panties in a photo [...]

Yeah, I need to make a t-shirt out of that one! So. I had some friends over and we threw all these little promotional men thingies with sticky heads all over the house. It was a blast! When you throw them at the wall, they stick but eventually fall off. So who would have ever [...]

This is what happens when you have creative friends, a broken key on your PowerBook and a spare 5 minutes.
So just messing around with Jerod’s broken laptop… we thought, “Hey?! Wonder what the old keys would look like with the new lit PowerBook??” So it started. We changed out the ‘:’ key that [...]
