SANDRA BULLOCK AND THE COMPLEXITIES OF TRANSRACIAL ADOPTION | On Thursday’s I Post From The Vault. This Post Is From May 2010.

December 10, 2020

On Thursday's I Post From The Vault. This Post Is From May 2010. Since Sandra Bullock announced her adoption of an African American baby, I’ve seen countless news medias reporting on the “controversy” surrounding transracial adoption.  It seems like celebrity adoptions often become the grist for the mill of those who have an agenda to push about transracial adoption.  To me, this recent CNN interview is a perfect example of the polarity of thinking when it comes to the practice.

Wednesday’s Child: Hunter

December 9, 2020

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 to . . .

Life Lately

December 7, 2020

We put two "sun tunnel" skylights in our hallway and I'm loving the results. It brightens things up so much. Our hallway was always so dark before. They are some work, but definitely a do-able DIY project. I want to put them everywhere now! https://amzn.to/39K0iGE Peak distance-learning fashion Bahaha you know it’s been a bad year when I revert to comfort-listening to old musicals, Vineyard music, and Indigo Girls. Loving our Black Santa shirts, @greentopgifts! #clarenceclause In . . .

SOCIAL NETWORKING: SUCKING TIME, SAVING LIVES, AND THE GRAY IN-BETWEEN | On Thursday’s I Post From The Vault. This Post is From April 2010.

December 3, 2020

On Thursday's I Post From The Vault. This Post is From April 2010. I think it’s fair to say that many of us who write our own blogs also read a lot of blogs. We might also spend a fair amount of time on twitter. We might also waste a bit of time on facebook. And before we know it, we might find ourselves wondering how it got to be 1am and we still haven’t put the dinner dishes away. And by we, I mean me. I spend entirely too much time online. It’s what a call a neutral addiction. It’s . . .

RIP, MOUSE IN THE HOUSE | On Thursday’s I Post From The Vault. This Post Is From April 2010.

November 26, 2020

On Thursday's I Post From The Vault. This Post Is From April 2010. Last night we went to bed with a mouse precariously hanging from the shelf in the shower. We drifted off to peaceful sleep with the crack under the bathroom door barricaded by our two largest books (The Complete Works of Shakespeare, Unabridged, and The Holy Qur’an, With Translation and Commentary.) In the bathroom, we left behind the hanging mouse, a strategically placed piece of brie, and an electrical trap from Home . . .
