Our cat has become quite adept at what cats do. As I write this he is munching on something or other that he caught. Don’t ask what, because I am SOOO not going to check. Eric cleaned up parts a couple days ago. Jonathan got a biology lesson. UGH! His first statement, “It was gross! But let me tell you …

Review: In the Shadow of Lions
In the Shadow of the Lions is a book that will sweep you back in time to the days of Henry the VIII.

As I read this book I could smell …

As ACFW’s publicity officer, I was in charge of publicity for the event. And as a volunteer at the conference the last three years, I …
Political Side Note
Couple thoughts as the presidential election picks up speed. According to this article, Gallup polls indicate that Obama’s post convention bounce in the numbers has been erased. Don’t worry – -whichever side you’re on — it’s historical that both candidates get 1 5-6 point bounce. But this race is heating up. Also, Obama admitted this week he may have been …

Bon Appetit is a delightful story about a young woman chasing her dreams — all the way across the ocean. Lexi Stuart lands in France to attend chef school so that she can …
