Wednesday’s Child: Kirsten

June 26, 2019

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 . . .

Memories of pop-pop | On Thursdays I post from the vault. This post is from March 2009.

June 20, 2019

On Thursdays I post from the vault. This post is from March 2009. My Pop-pop passed away last week. Tonight is his memorial service in Orlando, where I grew up. I'm really sad to miss this celebration of his life. My Pop-pop was my mom's father. Pop-pop was a brilliant man, and had an amazing wit. Though he could often be grumpy, he would always surprise you with a sarcastic comment or clever comeback, even in the midst of an argument. Pop-pop had a sense of humor about himself and . . .

Love’s Labor’s LOST | On Thursdays I post from the vault. This post is from March 2009.

June 13, 2019

On Thursdays I post from the vault. This post is from March 2009. You know how on LOST, they have to go back and re-live the traumatic experience of the plane crash? It was one of the worst things they ever went through, and they have to do it again. They know it will be painful. They know it will hurt like hell. They know there will be carnage. And yet, they know there is no getting around it. So they brace themselves, try deep-breathing, and just hope that this time isn't as bad as the . . .
