Blogs about: Love

“Te amo!” “Ich liebe dich!” “I love you!” Love, albeit fickle and inexplicable, is a many splendored thing. The inspiration for many a song, many a poem and many a letter, love comes in endless forms. Passionate and a bit wild. Calm and enduring. Unrequited. We like it in all its many forms. No wait, we love it in all its many forms.

Tasting the Mashed Potatoes
Just Married 1 day ago

I like to be prepared for any scenario. When I go on vacation, even a two day jaunt, I tend to overpack, so that I have an outfit for every conceivable combination of activities.  If I go attend a barbecue or an outdoor event, I bring a change of clothes and shoes for evening, bug spray and sunblock. I guess I just like knowing that I will be appropriately dressed, comfortable and mosquito bite free. But I think this compulsion was born out of a larger, more insidious habit of not being able to let go of things.  I don’t mean material things; I am not a very sentimental person, and except for an odd fascination I have with paper products like wrapping paper and greeting cards, I don’t horde much of anything. But I am a collector of memories. Imprinted on my brain are all the happy moments and all the distressing ones, arranged in little slide shows that I can recall at any time, depending on the situation or mood.  So, at some point, I must have attended a barbecue, gotten

Free Printables for kids with Food Allergies
Kori Clark Designs 1 week ago

I realized with school starting back up, a lot of my mommy friends have to deal with sending their little ones off with food allergies and the concern they face because of it. After having a friend request things to help her daughter as she starts preschool, I talked with another friend whose son was going to kindergarten and she had the same concerns. Sitting down that evening to come up with some designs for them, I thought about an email I received from yet another friend just a few days ago stating that her daughter with egg allergies had now been found with severe peanut allergies as well. Thinking that I should create designs for her too, I remembered another friend whose son has food allergies and I realized…..THIS IS TOO COMMON!!! No mom should have the fear that someone may unknowingly HURT their baby at school!  I wanted to do a little something to try to help, so I designed a few free downloads. There are round circles that are meant to be made into stickers for items

Coach Carter and Discipline for Parents
Pastor Steve's Blog

As a young dad, I’m always looking for ways to improve my fathering. Discipline is tough. I want my kids to grow up with mature character. Now, my frame of reference, when I say I want my kids to have mature character, is God’s standards as recorded in Scripture. However, this blog is not about the goal of Christ-like character as much as it is about effective principles for reaching that goal. The movie, Coach Carter, is a case study in turning around a group of broken teens. Their family units are fractured. Their neighbourhood is disjointed. Their school system is faltering. Coach comes in with a very difficult situation and takes them through rigorous drills to bring them to a sense of respect for themselves, each other and authority. If you’re just starting out as a mom or dad. Seize your role as parent now. It won’t get any easier. If you have older children it may be difficult to change the poor habits you’ve adopted and also instilled in your child

Marcy's Daily Updates

Marcy had a better day yesterday – no unusual episodes. After reviewing all the labs again and seeing no pathogenic bacteria that aren’t covered by her abx, I started her back on all her medicines last night and she seemed more responsive by the time we went to sleep. Carol was off yesterday. I stayed close to Marcy, paid bills, and created Facebook events for upcoming build out days for Sodium. Our friends Garland and Gretel came to pray for Marcy yesterday afternoon. It was a blessed time. Darcy went to Mapco after school to hang out with some friends and was home about 4:30. She brought video equipment home from school to shoot segments of her video self portrait for school. I was in two segments. Matt worked yesterday 10a-6p then came home for supper. After supper Darcy shot Matt’s two segments for her video self portrait. I shot this video of Darcy shooting her video. Matt’s other segment was even funnier than this one: Your 15 second vote could bring us ov

Survival of a Single Girl in a Life Full of Couples.
Girl on the Contrary

I'm the one on the left. If you couldn't guess... I’m going to be honest here folks- it’s getting a little awkward out there for me. Most of my closest friends are now coupled up- which is great, I am really thrilled for them. I’m just not sure I’m thrilled about how it’s effecting me. Because really, shouldn’t we all be thinking about how things effect me? I was at a party recently that I was having a really good time at. Good food, friends, bananagrams, and all the sugary treats I could eat. I was having a good time until I realized that I was the only one there without a significant other. Then it got uncomfortable. I mean, no one was doing anything to make me deliberately uncomfortable- it just was. Once I had that realization I got out of there fast. Because, I don’t really think they wanted me there- it was getting to that time of night when all couples just want to make-out in the dark and I was standing in the way of that. I

Passion's Aim
Octopus Heart

Passion: to pierce the veil, gather all from within, hurl it forth, seeking the mark – for the target, for the desired, we are fired and set aflame, and aim only aligns action with our passion. What is the aim of passion? What goal, what veil do we seek to pierce? Are we success-oriented Gnostics focused on hitting the target, or are we process-oriented Buddhists focused on the experience of passion? Or some other of the infinite available options? Obviously everyone with a passion sets their sights on something, but if we were to look at all people’s passion relative to their interior space what pattern would we see? Would we see a pattern? I have talked about passion quite a bit (OH tag: passion), my passion for my wife and my wife’s passion for being and existing as she does (see also here), not to mention passion’s general relationship to existence and being alive. This isn’t the first poem I’ve penned about passion either. But it seems to me I’m

No pain, no gain
Today's Inspiration - Touching hearts, moving souls, and nudging minds

As it seems to me, the more engulfed into life you get (i.e. getting married, having a career, having children, starting a business), the more stressful it can get. But… no pain, no gain right? L. Carter

Sexsomnia
Narcissism and Psychopathy Revisited

“I am with child” – says Mariam, her eyes downcast. In the murk he could not tell if her cheeks are flushed, but the tremor in her voice and her posture are signs enough. They are betrothed, he having paid the mohar to her family two moons ago with witnesses aplenty. She was a virgin then: the elders of both families made sure and vouched for her. At 14 years of age she was no beauty, but her plainness and the goodness of her heart appealed to him. She was supple and lithe and a hard worker. He liked her natural scents and she often laughed, a bell-like tintinnabulation that he grew fond of as her presence insinuated itself into his dour existence. By now, she has permeated his abode, like silent waters. Yoseph was somewhat older and more experienced than his wife-to-be. Short, stocky and hirsute, his only redeeming feature was his eyes: two coals aglow above a bulbous, venous nose in an otherwise coarse face. Originally from Judea, he found himself stranded in Nazareth, an outpo

Jesse James And Kat Von D Are Official
Detroit's NEW 98.7 AMP Radio

What? Really? Why God? WHY?! click “more” to SEE the pic of them kissing!This makes me so sad I want to puke. Kat Von D used to be so hot to me, and SO extremely cool. Not Anymore! I understand people deserve 2nd chances, but why the hell would you want to take a chance on someone like Jesse James? The worst part of it all, they are hanging out in Austin Texas where Jesse lives……the same city he went to because Sandra Bullock lives there. As if it’s not bad enough what he did to her, but to see everything in the media, and then to see him happy in person with a new girl. WTF! If she’s happy, more power to ya, but when he cheats on her, I will be the first to say, “I told you so.” Check out this story and more from Tina’s Trash!

Blessing in Disguise or Hell on Earth?
Susi's Spice...a little spice in each bite!

Well we have all heard that latino men are usually quite the ladies men, no matter how unattractive, poor, fat, bald, toothless, alcoholic or uneducated these men may be they always believe they are hot and that they can pull the hottest chicks around (actually just anything in a dress really). I dont lie I am just stating the facts… So there are a bunch of Chilean miners stuck down a caved in mine who are awaiting rescue and this may possibly not happen till Christmas..well wouldnt you know it..while most of them are suffering depression, anxiety, frustration and worry because they are NOT on the surface… one man amongst them all is praying to the Virgencita (virgin Mary) to not be rescued so quickly because of what awaits him up above… Yes…Yonni Barrios has been discovered to be a cad! While his wife held a vigil by the entrance of the mine Mrs Barrios met Met Barrios’ mistress Susana Valenzuela while they both called out his name in loving anxiousness.

Lestat, Part 2.
... strange and unusual ...

He arrived at 1PM Tuesday afternoon. We picked him up at the Delta Cargo building 4. As we drove home, I held him. He made the sweetest little noises, and was super laid-back. We loved him instantly. I feel a little overwhelmed right now. Some tears have been shed, but I think if I can get through the first week or two, I’ll feel better. It’s not helping that I’m sick as well. I’m really surprised at how GOOD Akasha has been! Curious, but not agressive AT ALL. So proud of her.
