When God Has To Repeat Himself
I’ve heard it said that sometimes God tells you something, then He tells you again, and then one more time for good measure. I suppose that’s so it sinks in. When I do that, I’m just nagging. But since He’s God… We’re going through the book of Philippians in church and are currently in the…
Read MoreIt’s Nice We’re Having Weather
Instead of addressing the elephant in the room, I’m going to talk about the weather. You know the elephant of which I speak, don’t you? It would be the fact that I haven’t written on my blog for over two years and, shamefully, never even finished the accounting of Katie’s wedding. I have a ton…
Read MoreAs Hot As The Sun
We’re staring down what I believe is our 7th heat wave for the summer, which I think is a record. Regardless, it’s YUCKY out. This oppressive heat and humidity is even causing some schools without air conditioning to close early due to heat indices of more than 100. I don’t like it one bit. I…
Read MoreTexas Adventures – Part 2
When last we met, our people had just left West, Texas, and were making their way through the deluge in two cars, one black and one white, down to Austin. We pulled out of Slovacek’s parking lot and hit I-35 S for the remaining 2 hour drive. The weather vacillated between a good, heavy soak…
Read MoreTexas Adventures ~ Part 1
A couple Wednesdays ago I flew from Pennsylvania to Texas for a special girls’ get away. My mother and sister from New Mexico flew in the same day and we were picked up by my Fort Worth sister. The next day we just kind of hung out and enjoyed each other’s company. Then Friday came.…
Read MoreDays Four and Five
On the Fourth Day of Christmas… We went to the happiest place on earth! And while Disneyland is a magical place to take children, I can say in all honesty it’s much more fun with grown kids. The only whining came from me and nobody in our party ever cried. Not once. And I’m pretty…
Read MoreOn the Third Day of Christmas…
I sat outside and read. And took pictures like this and texted them to friends who were complaining about a 2-hour snow delay and the unexpected extra snow this morning. I know what you’re thinking. My lack of compassion is as glaring as the bright and warm sun that’s shining through the trees in this…
Read MoreHow Many Days of Christmas?
The Jenster Clan ditched the winter wonderland of the East Coast and hopped a plane (or two) for SoCal to spend Christmas with Mr. Jenster’s side of the family. Since every day is an adventure when you’re West side it should make for some fairly decent blog fodder. “Fairly decent” meaning same mundane but with…

Tonight I am thankful for a warm, dry house and a comfortable bed. I’m especially thankful for a warm, dry house and a comfortable bed tonight. While there are so many people still displaced from Sandy or living in damaged homes with no electricity and no way to heat them, I am warm on this…

In an effort to kill two birds with one shot (photo shot, that is) here is a picture of Katie’s new old car AND the first snow of the season. I wish she would settle on a name for her car. I’m voting for Scarlet, but the jury’s still out. It’s just that it’s so…
