Wednesday’s Child: Christopher and Octavian

November 9, 2022

  Every Wednesday I feature a child recently highlighted by a local Wednesday's Child newscast to share the stories of children from around the country who are waiting for a family. My hope is that this can broaden exposure for the children highlighted, but also serve as a reminder that these children represent thousands of children currently in the foster-care system. Perhaps their stories will inspire you to consider opening your home to a child needing a family. For more information and . . .

TECHNOLOGY BLACK HOLE | ON THURSDAY’S I POST FROM THE VAULT. THIS POST IS FROM MARCH OF 2011.

November 3, 2022

ON THURSDAY'S I POST FROM THE VAULT. THIS POST IS FROM MARCH OF 2011. Sometimes I envy those Amish. We are having a bad technology month.  I actually feel like we have a technology curse.  I am sort of hoping other people read this and say, “no, this stuff happens to me, too”.  Because I feel like the constant breaking/crashing/rebooting/ exclamation-point-within-a-triangle thing is just a big fat episode of me being punked.  Punked by technology.– We just cancelled our Uverse cable, because . . .

BLOGGING AND BOUNDARIES (THE INTERNET IS A SCARY PLACE) | ON THURSDAY’S I POST FROM THE VAULT. THIS POST IS FROM FEBRUARY 2011.

October 26, 2022

ON THURSDAY'S I POST FROM THE VAULT. THIS POST IS FROM FEBRUARY 2011. My blog has been a little quiet this week – not because I have nothing to say, but because I’ve been busy watching Charlie Sheen interviews working on articles for a few other sites.  It’s been quite a week over at ShePosts.  I usually don’t do as much writing there, because as editor if I’m doing too much writing, I get distracted from the big-picture stuff.  But this week was just so jam-packed full of blogging . . .
