Life Lately

October 14, 2019

A couple weeks ago I got a text from my sports-averse daughter that said, "Can I join the basketball team?" And I was like, "New daughter, who dis?" Apparently they needed more players to be able to play in the league, and she decided she was up for the challenge. She has been waking herself up at 6am every morning to get to school for practice, and she is hustling during her games. Their team is full of beginners and they are getting beat pretty badly in every game, but she and her friends are . . .

Wednesday’s Child: Joziah and Kystelle

October 9, 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 . . .

October 7, 2019

So much fun having the whole @beerandhymnsoc band with us to lead music at #evolvingfaith19 this weekend. 📷: @ikelivesay #evolvingfaith Fun morning singing with the @beerandhymnsoc band and my nephew @aus_rivers at #evolvingfaith. Broken thumb. Yay football! At least it’s not a femur? (The cast was applied nearly two weeks after the initial diagnosis because the American healthcare system is an absurd stress dream.) Delayed benefits of attending cheer camp this summer ... cheering at . . .

Teaching Tolerance | On Thursdays I post from the vault. This post is from April 2009.

October 4, 2019

On Thursdays I post from the vault. This post is from April 2009. Last night the news covered the story of an 11-year-old who committed suicide due to relentless bullying about his sexual orientation. Again - he was ELEVEN YEARS OLD. The news program I watched featured a myriad of resources for parents of children who might be bullied. But for me, I think this is a wake-up call to ALL parents, to make sure that our children are not the ones committing acts of bullying and hate to other . . .
