I’ve got a question for you this morning, a REAL question: What did you want to be when you grew up? And did you become that or did you choose something different? Or, did something different choose you? And, are you happy with how your life ended up? I’ve been thinking a lot lately about [...]

My bloggy loves, Our web server was fixed during the night and I would like for you to know that I was greeted with hundreds (LITERALLY, HUNDREDS) of emails that I have to respond to personally.  I’ve been going through them for hours now, but there’s still a little over 200 that I haven’t been [...]

Me, yelling across the office: “Krystal!  Good news!!!” Krystal, office volunteer: “What?” Me: “I found where I’m going on my honeymoon!” Krystal: “Um, really?” Me: “Yep!  I’m going to the Atlantis hotel in the Bahamas.  Somebody just told me about their dolphin exhibit.” Krystal: “Well… I guess that’s nice.” Me: “I know I don’t have [...]

Baby and his mama are now home and, to celebrate the fact that I almost fell off the bed when Baby started crying last night, let’s have a little contest, shall we? The lovely Marla Taviano, author of Changing Your World One Diaper At A Time (as well as several other great books) is helping [...]

Now, this is PURELY hypothetical, but let’s say that you’re a 24 year old single female who runs a girls’ ministry that has a kitchen in the office.  And let’s say that you get hungry and decide that you’d like to fix a Hot Pocket for lunch mainly because, hello, it’s either that or leftover [...]

Ahem. 1. All Starlite email addresses are down. That means, if you’ve emailed me (especially about Ye Olde Starlite Christmas Surprise) I can’t read or respond to your email. So, until we get the server issues fixed, please email me at ministrysofab AT yahoo DOT com. 2. Roomie and her little bambino have not yet [...]

Listen to me.  Please, please listen to me. If you think that Christian girls in their twenties are not having abortions, you are dead wrong.  I could give you a list of girls I know who seriously love Jesus and have seriously had an abortion.  When you are “caught” in actions that you shouldn’t have [...]
