days of wonder and grace: On God's Account
http://daysofwonderandgrace.blogspot.com/2011/07/on-gods-account.html
Days of wonder and grace. Adventures in being a family of faith. Monday, July 11, 2011. The human condition is what it is: fallen. All of us make stupid comments in ignorance, even those of us with special needs kids, because we cannot possibly know what it true about every human difference. Beyond that, we cannot keep up with the ever-shifting current PC. And beyond that, we cannot instantly grasp what another most needs to hear. And I won’t stop praying that God will help. Jesus' notariety spread throu...

days of wonder and grace: Are You Hungry?
http://daysofwonderandgrace.blogspot.com/2011/07/are-you-hungry.html
Days of wonder and grace. Adventures in being a family of faith. Friday, July 1, 2011. After quietly following Hyosun. Ro's Korean cooking blog. For months, I've added her to my sidebar. Her posts are a visual feast of helpful how-to's and are all the encouragement I need to keep expanding our family repertoire of Korean food. Her recipes are easy to use because the ingredients are commonly available in America if you have access to a Korean grocery store for some staples. Black bean paste), not pe-made.

days of wonder and grace: We Are the Experts on Our Own Kids
http://daysofwonderandgrace.blogspot.com/2011/07/we-are-experts-on-our-own-kids.html
Days of wonder and grace. Adventures in being a family of faith. Sunday, July 3, 2011. We Are the Experts on Our Own Kids. That's the truth whether we wish it was so or not. I'm conflicted about the fact that I'm conflicted by the encounter. After all, as a historian I essentially do that all the time: play devil's-advocate, prodding the assumptions underlying conclusions, asking, "What if we're wrong about this particular assumption? Why wouldn't I welcome someone doing that for my daughter? Sure: I wou...

days of wonder and grace: Environment Helps the Pendulum Swing
http://daysofwonderandgrace.blogspot.com/2011/07/environment-helps-pendulum-swing.html
Days of wonder and grace. Adventures in being a family of faith. Thursday, July 14, 2011. Environment Helps the Pendulum Swing. Her pendulum would swing back. I ought to stop there and observe: Great Mercy. FASD can be unremittingly hard for some kids and families. But Hope is not as severely affected as some exposed kids are. And God saw fit to re-direct our parenting from "this is a typical child who. To "this is an atypical child who. A full three years before her diagnosis confirmed. I am blessed to ...

days of wonder and grace: Our Wake-Up Call
http://daysofwonderandgrace.blogspot.com/2011/04/our-wake-up-call.html
Days of wonder and grace. Adventures in being a family of faith. Wednesday, April 27, 2011. This is the beginning of the story of our quest for an FASD evaluation for Hope. Our wake-up call came in the middle of the night several miles in the sky above the Pacific Ocean. The word "call" doesn't quite capture the sound. Think shrieks of terror from an almost-six year old being pursued in her sleep by giant hairy spiders wielding sharp knives. Or something on that order. How long would it go on? It seemed ...

Elituq-"She is Learning": July 2012
http://elituqakbrady.blogspot.com/2012_07_01_archive.html
Monday, July 9, 2012. Elituq: She Has Learned. Nearly 700 times I've sat down at my desk and written about our life in Alaska; the joys, sorrows, and moments of awe that come from living in a place so far north. Many things have been unexpected, and many, downright painful, but like the Athabascan term for which this blog is named, all have led toward a deeper understanding of my life, and that of my family's. I began Elituq: She is Learning. In the four years since, Elituq. Has served its purpose. Label...

Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us.Ephesians 3:20. Friday, January 4, 2013. These girls have so much fun together. This photo was from their all day photo shoot the three of them did. Taking turns with the camera, going all over the house and yard and changing clothes 20 times. This fall Kali started pursuing her new passion- Rhythmic Gymnastics. Pic by Kali or Ayla? Oh, that reminds me of a great story. :). Then she...

Welcome to Elijahland: May 2013

Thursday, May 23, 2013. Update on the Boys: Our First Video Blog. The boys and I made a little video while Daddy was working. These kids crack me up. Wednesday, May 15, 2013. One year ago, we welcomed a sweet baby boy into our hearts and arms. We named him Oliver Luke. Oliver, meaning olive tree (a symbol of peace) and Luke, meaning light. He has certainly lived up to his name, bringing so much peace and light into our lives. Happy first birthday, Oliver. Mom, Dad, and Elijah love you so much. Elijah is ...

Welcome to Elijahland: As It Gets Harder, It Gets Easier
http://elijahland.com/2015/02/as-it-gets-harder-it-gets-easier.html
Monday, February 9, 2015. As It Gets Harder, It Gets Easier. I wrote the following two weeks ago and never hit publish. I don't know why, I think I got distracted and I'm not sure my head is attached to my body these days. Even still, it all rings true. As it gets harder, it almost gets easier. And in some ways, it makes it easier. Just when you think you've got things figured out, you don't. And that do-to list? Yep, still the same one. Things added, things crossed off. Yes Time does have a way of flyin...
