On Thursdays I post from the vault. This post is from November 2007. I had the most mortifying parent experience tonight. My friend, who is an amazing artist, was having a show at a local gallery. The gallery had an opening reception for the artists, and we decided to drop in and take the kids. I was thinking we would just make a quick appearance and leave. My kids are usually pretty good with stuff like that, and I want to expose them to culture, yada yada yada. So we head into the gallery . . .
Wednesday’s Child: Ken
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
I am writing this from the grave as yesterday I died of embarrassment. I was sitting at church before the service started going over the worship set with one of the pastors. Meanwhile, Karis is sitting nearby, and she has brought a really old purse of mine that I gave her. And suddenly she pulls this condom out of an interior pocket of my purse and hands it to me and says “what is this?” Right there in the front row of church as I’m planning the set list of hymns with a guy I don’t know that . . .

Scolded for my parenting today
On Thursdays I post from the vault. This post is from October 2007. I had the worst experience today. I went grocery shopping with the kids, and thought we would eat lunch in the restaurant attached to the grocery store. It's a health food shop, and their "diner" is a pretty casual setting, so I though it would be okay if I braved it alone with two kids. Well . . . We sat down, and the only available table was squashed between several other tables. Way too close for comfort. Then we waited . . .
