Even the strong need water...

We almost gave up, but we decided to try another vegetable garden this year despite last year’s failures. All the tomatoes had some sort of rot on them and our beans never got past infancy.  The only successful crop were the cantaloupes, which basically took over the whole garden but did give us six healthy […]

Social Media as a forum for Public Debate

I’ve been using social media for a decade now. I can still remember some of my first posts, where I wrote stuff like, “Going to Target now. Gotta get some milk.” Wow. So profound. Or how about this one: “Just got back from picking the girls up for school. Now begins the homework rush.” Yeah, […]

Assumptions are the termites of relationship - Henry Winkler

It brought back a flood of memories, from the all-day drawing classes to graduating on the lawn and everything in between. One of my earliest college memories happened in one of the few classes I took in an auditorium. Everyone was […]

Count it all joy (a.k.a. each week it sucks a little less)

February 6, 2015 By Wendy Willard · Leave a Comment ·

James 1:2-4

Last week I wrote about how much transition sucks. Many people responded to encourage us, including a personal trainer in Florida. She’s currently working with a guy who is particularly out of shape. So they came up with a mantra to help keep him going: Each week it sucks a little less. Sounds about right. We’ve now […]
