Words of Wisdom From my Hippy Sister – Jason Elkins
Around 1972, in a successful attempt to move out of Detroit, our respective parents bought a house in the country together for $4000, moved in together and split the $60 per month house payment.

Before I begin, I’d like to thank Jason for his gracious invitation to give a guest post, and tell the whole group of writers here how highly I think of this blog. _______________________ I commented a couple of weeks ago on my own blog that if there’s one thing Christians like doing, it’s finding out who’s [...]

As I go around to the pool is see dragon flies flying over the top, skimming it with their feet. As the clouds move, the sun comes out to dry up all the rain from earlier today. I see grasshoppers hopping through the grass. I go around to the front yard.

He says "go deeper and search for my heart." As much as you think you might run out of air, having the faith to reach the bottom is where He tests us. "Do I go back to the top and keep living this half life, or do I REALLY commit to the life I chose?"

I was driving home on I-65 from Brentwood to Hendersonville and was coming up on the merger of I-65, I-40, and I-24 where traffic comes to a grinding halt. I noticed an incredibly beautiful 18-wheeler coming up beside me. I never pay attention to cars or trucks but try to “survive” the chaos. However, this truck [...]

But others of us actually like to work – or even more, to be praised for that work. That’s the clincher: the painstaking discipline and the many sacrifices along the way are not fun, but it’s all worth it for the future accolades.

26. August 2009
This band is Fleet Foxes. I love the harmonies and their sound. From Wikipedia (Must be true!) Fleet Foxes is a five-piece Seattle-based band signed to Sub Pop and Bella Union. The band came to prominence in 2008 with the release of their second EP, Sun Giant, and their debut full length album Fleet Foxes. Both Sun Giant and their eponymous debut album received much critical praise and reviewers often noted their use of refined lyrics and vocal harmonies. The quintet describes its music as "baroque harmonic pop jams".

I went for a ride with my 9 year old son the other night. I was excited to hear how his first full day of school went, and he was more than excited to tell me. He got the teacher he wanted (blessing number one) and had a good friend in his class (blessing [...]
